There was nothing sluggish about sixth-ranked Virginia this time out. The Cavs took control early Friday night against Long Beach State in an 87-52 beatdown in the semifinals of the Charleston Classic.
The 49ers led 8-4 three minutes in, but UVA seized the game with an extended 19-2 run over a 9:57 stretch of the first half, and led 41-23 at the break.
A 17-1 run over a 4:51 stretch of the second half blew the game open.
Marial Shayok had a game-high 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field to go with five assists. London Perrantes had 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Devon Hall added 12 points, all in the second half, on 4-of-5 shooting from three-point range.
Virginia (3-1) will face George Mason (2-2) in the championship game of the Charleston Classic on Sunday at 9:30 p.m.
