Everything for Virginia is at the rim so far – 3-of-4 FG at the rim.
Stanford got a kickout three and a layup after a 50/50 ball that should have been called a dual possession.
Second media timeout: Virginia 17-11, 11:39/1st
Lovin’ the defense we’re seeing here again.
Hands everywhere.
Stanford has five turnovers on its 12 possessions.
Third media timeout: Virginia 26-18, 7:56/1st
Virginia has 11 makes from the floor: 7-of-9 at the rim.

Stanford has taken the piss out of the Virginia offense with zone.
Virginia is 4-of-15 from the floor over the last 8:30.
Half: Virginia 41, Stanford 34
I see why Ebuka Okori and Chisholm Okpara get to the line so much – they plow into guys and get calls.
Ekorie has 14 points, but he’s 5-of-13 from the floor – 13 shots in a half – and 4-of-5 at the line.
Thijs de Ridder had 12 for Virginia; Chance Mallory 10.

Dallin Hall: two points and four assists.

First media timeout: Virginia 47-37, 15:58/2nd
I don’t usually get this invested, but I want Virginia to win here because I genuinely don’t like anything about this Stanford team.
The coach should have been teed up several times already.
His Big 2 gets to the line because they get, not earn, calls.
Stanford timeout: Virginia 57-39, 12:19/2nd
Stanford has six (!) shot clock violations in this one.
Back-to-back threes by Sam Lewis force the TO.
Stanford is 1-of-15 from the floor in the second half.
Third media timeout: Virginia 66-46, 7:52/2nd
This game was 42-37 a couple of minutes into the second half.
Stanford is 4-of-22 in the second half.
The Okorie kid is 0-of-7, and hasn’t been gifted any free-throw tosses.
Fourth media timeout: Virginia 68-51, 3:46/2nd
Playing with their food again.
Four turnovers in the last 3:49.
This Stanford squad came back from 12 down in 2:18 on Wednesday.
Final: Virginia 70, Stanford 55
