No. 6 Virginia rolls, will face Long Beach State on Friday in tournament semifinals

Anthony Gill scored 16 points and Malcolm Brogdon scored 13 on Thursday night, helping No. 6 Virginia bounce back from its first loss of the season with an 82-57 victory over Bradley in the opening round of the Charleston Classic at Charleston, S.C.

The Cavaliers (2-1) will face Long Beach State on Friday night for a spot in Sunday’s championship game.

Virginia lost at George Washington on Monday and opened this one a bit sluggish. The Cavaliers trailed, 22-19, before taking off on an 18-3 run and steadily pulling away, at one point stretching their lead to 31 points.

Bradley (1-2) is one of the youngest teams in the country, starting four freshmen.

at No. 12 Arizona 88, Boise State 76: Gabe York made four three-point shots and scored a career-high 23 points for the Wildcats, who pulled away in the second half.

Freshman Allonzo Trier scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half and Arizona (3-0) stretched its home-court winning streak to 41 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the country. Parker Jackson-Cartwright scored 14 points, also a career high, and Kadeem Allen had 10 for Arizona.

James Webb scored a career-high 27 points for Boise State (1-2).

No. 16 Utah 73, Texas Tech 63: Lorenzo Bonam scored a season-high 20 points to lead the Utes in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff at San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Jordan Loveridge added 18 points for Utah (3-0), which dominated the boards and scored 16 second-chance points after halftime to stay in control — especially as the Red Raiders (1-1) kept trying to push their way back into the game.

“I actually challenged the guys [at halftime],” Utah Coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “I think there’s a perception out there maybe that the Big 12 is a real physical league and maybe the Pac-12’s not and it looked like that in the first half.”
