GU starts glacially slow

CAVS, 24-8

In such a key game, is it surprising that GU came out so, for lack of a better word, passive?

There seemed to a lack of fire to start and UVA took advantage, especially in the offensive end, where the Cavs hit their first four long-range jumpers (they are shooting 33 percent this season) to put GU back on its heels even more.

Playing from behind, this year's GU team never looks very comfortable on the offensive end. There seems to be a rush to them at times.

The GU staff is searching for a combination that will work for them on the offensive end – and slow down the Cavs on the other.

The Zags are taking better care of the ball now which has slowed down Virginia's fast break, but they can't seem to get a shot.

There is a little less than 12 minutes left in the half. Let's see if GU can get its act going before intermission.
