Men

No. 6 Virginia 82, Bradley 57

Virginia coach Tony Bennett lost his voice at practice this week after his team lost at George Washington. He'll take if the Cavaliers keep playing like this.

Anthony Gill scored 16 points, Malcolm Brogdon had 13 and the Cavaliers overcame a slow start to power past Bradley on Thursday night in the Charleston Classic.

Bennett saw lapses on defense, failures to execute on offense and too little team-based play at critical times in the GW loss. He put his team through some difficult, wearing practices to get it corrected.

"My voice is gone because of those practices," Bennett said hoarsely. "But I think the guys responded."

That was apparent after a slow first 13 minutes by the Cavaliers (2-1), who trailed Bradley (1-2) 22-19 after two straight 3-pointers by Luuk Van Bree. That was the wake-up call Virginia needed as it began an 18-3 run to close the opening half and put the game away.

"I knew it was going click," said London Perrantes, who had 12 points for Virginia. "I feel like we definitely had to come out and respond. It's early. It's only our third game and we're still trying to figure out some things. It was just good to go out there again after Monday and play a game."

Virginia will face Long Beach State on Friday night for a spot Sunday in the championship game.

The Braves (1-2) are one of the youngest teams in the country, starting four freshman against the ACC powerhouse. Eventually, the Cavaliers experience took control.

Van Bree had 16 points, off four 3-pointers, to lead Bradley.

Gill hit six of his eight field goals. He added seven rebounds and two steals.

London Perrantes had 12 points and Marial Shayok 10 to give Virginia four players in double figures.

Virginia's loss at George Washington was certainly an early-season shocker. It took the Cavaliers a while to get past it at the TD Arena.

But after Van Bree's second consecutive 3-pointer put the Braves in front, Virginia received the wake-up call it needed.

The Cavaliers ripped off an 18-3 run in the half's final seven minutes, showing power, smarts and top-notch defense. Gill had six points in the run, including a powerful jam that brought the few hundred Virginia fans here at TD Arena to their feet.

By the time Brogdon dropped in a basket in the final minute, the Cavaliers were ahead by double digits.

Bradley coach Brian Wardle said youth was not an excuse for poor defense, which allowed Virginia to shoot 56.6 percent (30 of 53) for the game.

"That's unacceptable," Wardle said. "We've got to get a lot better. More concentration. More effort."

Bradley made just one of its final eight field goals of the half. The Braves committed four turnovers during Virginia's decisive run.

Things continued Virginia's way after the break. Gill had eight of the Cavaliers' first 13 points of the period to put them ahead 50-32. The margin eventually grew to 31 points in the final few minutes.

No. 12 Arizona 88, Boise State 76

Gabe York scored a career-high 23 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead four Arizona players in double figures and the Wildcats pulled away in the second half to beat Boise State.

Freshman Allonzo Trier scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half for the Wildcats (3-0) in their 41st consecutive home-court victory, the longest active streak in the country. Parker Jackson-Cartwright added 14, also a career best, and Kadeem Allen had 10 for Arizona.

James Webb scored a career-best 27 for the Broncos (1-2).

The lead changed hands 12 times in the first half and Arizona led only 44-42 at the break. Boise State tied it twice early in the second half before the Wildcats began to put the game away.

No. 14 Indiana 86, Creighton 65

James Blackmon Jr. scored 19 points and Thomas Bryant added 17 to help No. 14 Indiana rout Creighton 86-65 on Thursday night.

Bryant dominated the middle as the Hoosiers (3-0) won their third in a row by more than 20 points.

Creighton (2-1) was led by Maurice Watson Jr. with 21 points, but it was never really close.

Indiana took the lead on its first basket — a 3-pointer from Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell and never trailed.

The Hoosiers seized control when Bryant made a 3-pointer to start a 12-0 run that extended Indiana's lead to 26-10 less than halfway through the first half.

The Bluejays didn't get closer than 17 in the second half.

No. 16 Utah 73, Texas Tech 63

Lorenzo Bonam scored a season-high 20 points to help No. 16 Utah hold off Texas Tech 73-63 on Thursday night in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff.

Jordan Loveridge added 18 points for the Utes (3-0), who squandered much of a 12-point, first-half lead but kept turning away every comeback bid from the Red Raiders (1-1) to stay in front.

Utah shot 38 percent, including just 6 of 24 from 3-point range, but finished with a 45-38 rebounding advantage and scored 20 second-chance points.

Devaugntah Williams scored 13 points to lead the Red Raiders, who shot 39 percent.

No. 17 Vanderbilt 79, Stony Brook 72 (OT)

Wade Baldwin IV came off the bench to score 21 and lead Vanderbilt to an overtime win over Stony Brook.

Stony Brook's Carson Puriefoy's layup with one second left in regulation sent the game into overtime tied at 66. Free throws helped Vanderbilt pull out the win in overtime.

Vanderbilt's Riley LaChance and Damian Jones both scored 13 points. Matthew Fisher-Davis added 11 points.

Stony Brook's Jameel Warney led the Seawolves (1-1) with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Puriefoy finished with 16 points.

No. 22 Butler 93, Missouri State 59

Kelan Martin scored 18 points off the bench and Butler put on another offensive show to beat Missouri State in the first round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff.

Andrew Chrabascz also scored 18 for the Bulldogs (2-0), who flirted with cracking the 100-point mark for the second time to open the season. Butler scored a program-record 144 points in last weekend's opener against The Citadel.

Butler shot 60 percent and made 8 of 17 3-pointers, yet committed just eight turnovers.

Dequon Miller scored 15 points to lead the Bears (0-2), who fell to 6-35 all-time against ranked opponents. They shot just 34 percent.

No. 23 LSU 78, South Alabama 66

Ben Simmons scored 23 points and Antonio Blakeney had 22 to lead LSU to a win over South Alabama in a regional round of the Legends Classic.

Simmons, who also had a season-high 16 rebounds, made 9 of 14 from the field for the Tigers (3-0). Blakeney hit on four 3-pointers.

LSU did not allow South Alabama to pull within single digits in the second half. Three 3-pointers over a 2½-minute stretch by Blakeney helped the Tigers go ahead 55-36 with 14:40 remaining.

Backup LSU point guard Josh Gray had 11 points, while starting center Elbert Robinson had a career-best 10.

Nick Stover led South Alabama (1-2) with 13 points.

Nina Davis had 15 points and Kalani Brown scored 11 points in 10 minutes for Lady Bears (3-0).

Baylor never trailed after an 11-0 run early in the game, but South Florida got within a point twice in the fourth quarter and had the potential tying shot.
