CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Ryan Dunn had his first career double-double and Leon Bond III scored 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting to help University of Virginia beat North Carolina A&T 80-51 Tuesday night.
Dunn finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Jake Groves added 11 points and nine rebounds for Virginia (3-0), which never trailed.
Isaac McKneely and Groves made back-to-back 3-pointers to cap a 16-4 run that pushed the lead into double figures for good less than 8 minutes into the game, Bond hit a jumper to give the Cavaliers a 20-point lead with 8:55 left in the first half and Dante Harris made two free throws to made it 49-19 at halftime.
Landon Glasper, the lone N.C. A&T (0-3) player to score in double figures, scored 18 points on 5-of-16 shooting, 5 of 11 from 3-point range. McKneely left the game late in the first half due to an apparent ankle injury and did not return for Virginia. The 6' 4" sophomore guard scored eight points, including two 3-pointers, in 14 minutes.
