Cavaliers Go Ahead

Virginia went ahead for good on
Parkhill's layup after a Hobgood
steal, and Maryland proceeded to
go cold for a three minute period,
only to score once again before the
half ended with the Cavaliers on
top, 40-26.

Hot shooting in the second half
propelled he Wahoos to a 26 point
advantage at which point Driesell
called time to regroup in what the
home fans assumed was a gesture of
surrender. The largest ever
University Hall crowd, which tended
to get a bit carried away at points,
cheered lustily when the official
signalled the inevitable technical
on Coach Driesell.
