First Half

The Cavaliers set an aggressive tone early on with their sharp shooting and solid defense. Johann Grunloh was instrumental during this period, contributing significantly on both ends of the court. His efficiency was evident as he shot an impressive field goal percentage of 80 percent while also securing key rebounds for his team.

The Hoos' defensive prowess was highlighted by Ugonna Onyenso's four blocks that stifled several attempts from Queens University. The team's ability to convert turnovers into fast-break points gave them a substantial lead by halftime.

Second Half

Thijs De Ridder emerged as a standout performer with his consistent scoring ability, finishing with an impressive field goal percentage of 80 percent as well. His efforts were complemented by Jacari White's contributions off the bench, adding crucial points that extended UVA's lead further.

Despite efforts from Queens University's bench players who collectively scored 26 points, they struggled against Virginia’s robust defense which allowed only limited opportunities for easy baskets inside the paint.

Final Outcome

Overall, Virginia's strategic ball movement resulted in an assist-to-turnover ratio of three-to-one compared to Queens University's one-point-zero-nine-to-one ratio.
