The Virginia Cavaliers won their quarterfinal game of the Charleston Classic, pounding the Bradley Braves 82-57. Anthony Gill led the team with 16 points to help the Hoos recover from their loss to GW and improve to 2-1 on the season. The team has a quick turnaround, as they return to action tomorrow night against Long Beach State in a semifinal matchup.
While the final score reflects the stark talent disparity between the two squads, Virginia did get off to a sluggish start. With under 8 minutes remaining in the first half, Luuk Van Bree nailed consecutive three-pointers (he finished 4-6 from behind the arc) to give Bradley a 22-19 lead.
