Brownell told me yesterday that he expects Donte to make the trip up to Charlottesville with the team. Expect Simms and Skara to get increased playing time as a result of Donte's absence.

Great start for the Tigers! Simms just hit a 3 to put them up 7. He got his first start of his career tonight in place of Grantham. DeVoe has 11. He had a big 1st half on Saturday as well, with 14 points in the 1st against Notre Dame. |

Ugh UVA just caught a break on a missed free throw for a lane violation. Tigers lead by 4 now with just over 4 mins left in the half. |

UVA scores again to tie and will have a chance at a 3-point play. Bucket should not have counted in my opinion. The shot went up well after contact like NBA continuation. Hoos are on a 9-2 run in the last couple minutes. |

Hoos miss free throw, so the game is still tied. |

Reed missed two 3's on the last possession. Need him to get hot! He has just 2 points so far. |

Simms misses an open 3 from the top of the key. Hoos will get last shot of the half. |

Hall drives for a layup just before the buzzer. Tigers didn't score in last 6:18 of the half after leading by 7. TIGERS TRAIL 27-23 AT HALF. |

Mitchell has still yet to score, and Reed has only 4 points with under 12 mins left. |

Basket and one for Hoos. They'll have a chance to go up by 13 with 11:30 left. That's like a 20-point lead against most teams. |

Tigers lose by 25. They scored 13 points in the second half. Let's hope they rebound on Sunday at Georgia Tech! I think they will. |
