Both teams trade turnovers out of the timeout before McFarlane drives and gets his first points of the night. On the next BC possession, Buchanan gets a strong stop and rebound in the paint before Virginia turns it over again. Six turnovers from BC compared to three from UVA so far.

Donald Hand Jr. gets to the free throw line, the first trip to the line for either team in fifteen minutes, and connects on both.

Eagles struggle with Roger McFarlane turning the ball over for the second time in two games; Virginia once again executes the BC fouls, this time a beautiful pick-and-roll between Rohde and Buchanan leads to a Buchanan dunk. BC’s Joshua Beadle responds with a baseline, mid-range jumper to end the short Virginia run before Saunders gets another Virginia bucket in the paint. Isaac McKneely knocks down his second three in as many attempts, this one a quick catch-and-shoot off the assist from Dai Dai Ames. Donald Hand Jr. answers with a three of his own, the first of the night for Virginia, before Ishan Sharma gets it right back and knocks down his first three of the night.

Chad Venning breaks through the lane and slams home the third FG of the night. Virginia is 9-13 from the field to start the contest, an excellent start as they look to snap a five-game losing streak.
