No. 6 Virginia comes up a bit short

Patricio Garino and Tyler Cavanaugh each scored 18 points, and George Washington stunned No. 6 Virginia, 73-68, Monday night at Washington.

The Colonials (2-0) took control with a 10-0 run that began with Garino’s three-point play for a 57-55 lead with 8 minutes 6 seconds to play.

Garino had a tip-in and then an assist on Cavanaugh’s layup.

Cavanaugh made two free throws to make it 64-55 with 5:24 remaining.

Virginia (1-1) was led by Malcolm Brogdon, who had 28 points and eight rebounds.

Brogdon was the only source of offense for the Cavaliers in the final minutes.

After Evan Nolte made a three-point basket to give Virginia a 55-54 lead with 91/2 minutes left, Brogdon scored 11 consecutive points.

But after he stole the ball with 17 seconds to play and Virginia trailing by four points, he missed a three-point shot with 10 seconds to play.

“We can’t [say], ‘We were just off, it wasn’t our game.’ It wasn’t that. We got outplayed. We got out-executed,” Coach Tony Bennett said.

“Sometimes you forget how hard it is, and these settings remind you awfully quick.”
