Virginia’s two-game losing streak is now over, as the Hoos beat LSU Sunday night at the John Paul Jones Arena. Freshman K.T. Harrrell led all players with 15 points on 4/9 shooting from the floor. Harrell also added six free-throws as he was six of seven from the line.
The Hoos continued to struggle from the three-point line, finishing just six of nineteen beyond the arch. On a positive note, UVA made sixteen of twenty-one at the charity-stripe.
Both Assane Sene, and Sammy Zeglinski failed to score a single point in the contest. Jontel Evans had zero turnovers, and eight points in thirty-two minutes of play.
Virginia led by four at the half, but LSU went more than seven minutes without a point in the second stanza as Tony Bennett’s Hoos opened up a double-figure lead and finished off the Tigers.
LSU (8-7) was led by 6-10 California native Garrett Green, who scored twelve-points for the Tigers. Green, not known for his scoring, looked pretty damn sharp at the offensive-end of the court for the Tigers.
The Hoos (9-5) next play Howard at the JPJ on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Plenty of good seats are still available. Go Hoos!
