  • The Cavaliers hit 11 of 22 from three and forced two shot-clock violations with full-court pressure and persistent half-court defense.
  • Ten Cavaliers logged double-digit minutes and five scored in double figures, reflecting a deeper rotation under the new staff.
  • Virginia controlled the boards 49-25 and limited Hampton to 31.7% shooting, including 6-for-26 from long range.
  • Early blowouts have validated the stylistic shift under first-year coach Ryan Odom, with 7-footers Ugonna Onyenso and Johann Grünloh anchoring the interior in three straight home wins.
