Virginia 65, Stanford 88 | FINAL

Former Virginia lacrosse standout Cole Kastner, who won the 2021 National Championship with the Cavaliers, checks into the game for Stanford and records his first stat of the season, snagging a rebound. That's about the only thing that went well for UVA today, as the Hoos suffer their third-consecutive loss.

Virginia 65, Stanford 88 | Final

Virginia had cut the deficit to 10 points, but then Stanford responded by scoring the next 11 points to put the game away. Ron Sanchez calls his second timeout of the game with his team down 19 points and under two minutes to go in regulation.

Virginia 65, Stanford 84 | 1:50 2H

Maxime Raynaud gets a left hook to go plus a foul to push the Stanford lead back up to 13 points with five minutes to play. UVA comes up empty again and then Raynaud scores with a very tough reverse layup. That could just about do it.

Virginia 63, Stanford 78 | 3:37 2H

TJ Power hits a pair of free throws. McKneely storms around a screen from Buchanan and hits his fifth three-pointer of the game. Virginia gets another stop and then Cofie gets a tipback to go. It's a 7-0 run for UVA to cut the deficit to 10 points and Kyle Smith calls timeout for Stanford.

Virginia 62, Stanford 72 | 6:11 2H

Virginia switches to a 1-3-1 zone defense and Stanford immediately busts it with a three from Gealer. Saunders knocks down a three on the other end, but Stanford responds with another three, this time from Chisom Okpara. Cofie scores at the rim plus a foul as the Hoos try to do everything they can to keep this game reasonable. Raynaud scores with a putback. TJ Power has his pass intercepted by Okpara, who takes it the length of the court for a layup.

Virginia 55, Stanford 72 | 7:49 2H

McKneely spins into a fallaway jumper and sinks it. Aidan Cammann is fouled by Robinson and makes both free throws. Stanford is 9/9 from the charity stripe today. Cammann slips a screen and is left wide open under the basket for a dunk. Virginia continues to struggle to defend the pick and roll, as Cammann slips it again and finishes at the rim plus a foul. He completes the three-point play and Stanford has 60 points with more than 12 minutes to go. Sellers hits a baseline jumper and the Cardinal have their largest lead of the game at 17.

Virginia 45, Stanford 62 | 11:37 2H

Oziyah Sellers opens up the second half with a three-pointer to make it a 13-point lead for Stanford. Virginia is called for four fouls in the first 90 seconds of the second half. Raynaud makes a pair of free throws and then UVA has a four-point possession as McKneely makes 1/2 free throws and then the rebound comes out to Dai Dai Ames for an open three. Ames aggressively drives the ball early in the possession and scores a layup. Raynaud collects an offensive rebound and scores with ease. McKneely finds Buchanan rolling to the basket and he finishes over Raynaud. Jaylen Blakes gets an open three and knocks it down, but McKneely answers with a three of his own on the other end. Donavin Young throws down a big-time dunk plus a foul on Buchanan. Virginia is executing well enough offensively, but cannot get a stop on defense.

Virginia 41, Stanford 52 | 15:26 2H

Raynaud makes a pair of free throws to stretch the Stanford lead to seven points. Rohde's pass on what should have been the final possession of the first half is intercepted and then Jaylen Blakes banks in a one-footed three from just across half-court as the buzzer sounds. Stanford takes a 10-point lead into the halftime break.

Virginia 30, Stanford 40 | Halftime

Raynaud snags an offensive rebound and scores again. Isaac McKneely pulls up for a deep triple and swishes it to end the drought for Virginia. Jacob Cofie goes directly into the chest of Raynaud and scores off the glass plus a foul, then finishes the three-point play at the line. Sharma leaves Benny Gealer open and he knocks down the three to stop UVA's mini run. Stanford gets a stop and then uses some crisp ball movement to generate another open three, this time for Agarwal. Rohde hits a floater coming in from the right side, but UVA still trails by five late in the first half.

Virginia 30, Stanford 35 | 1:21 1H

Maxime Raynaud is back into the game and he scores his second bucket, tipping in a putback. McKneely misses a wide-open layup and then Raynaud gets free down the lane for a wide-open dunk. Ron Sanchez calls timeout as Virginia has made just one shot in the last six minutes.

Virginia 22, Stanford 27 | 6:32 2H

Jaylen Blakes strips the ball from Rohde and takes it the other way for a dunk. Cofie gets the ball from Rohde and rolls to the basket for a layup. Sellers gets an open look in the corner and buries the triple. Anthony Robinson is into the game for Virginia following a stretch of having both Buchanan and Cofie in the game, but it's a rough stretch for Robinson, who is called for a couple of fouls and turns it over. After a hot start shooting the ball, both teams have cooled off a little bit.

Virginia 22, Stanford 23 | 7:53 1H

Stanford gets a second-chance opportunity with an offensive rebound and Maxime Raynaud scores off the glass. McKneely drains his second three and has already surpassed his scoring total from the Cal game. Sellers gets a lane to the basket, but Saunders responds by hitting another jumper; Virginia has made its last five shots. Young beats Saunders with a backdoor cut for a dunk. Andrew Rohde joins the three-point party for UVA to take the lead. Stanford scores again, but the Cavaliers continue to keep up with a barrage of threes; this time it's Sharma knocking one down from the top of the key. Virginia is 5/6 from beyond the arc so far today.

Virginia 19, Stanford 16 | 12:00 1H

Stanford wins the tipoff and opens the scoring as Donavin Young, who has played in just three games this season for the Cardinal, knocks down a three-pointer. Virginia double-teams Maxime Raynaud again and he makes a great skip pass leading to another three, this time from Oziyah Sellers. Elijah Saunders gets Virginia on the board with a mid-range jumper. Ryan Agarwal gets to the basket for a layup, but Isaac McKneely answers on the other end with a three-pointer. Ishan Sharma knocks down a three in transition to tie the game at 8-8.
