Harris said, "I was getting room and rhythm looks and kept my eyes on the basket. When I got my opportunity to get a clean look I was letting it go.
Scott said, " They were double teaming me so I hit Akil, I hit Malcolm, I'm finding my teammates when they double team me and if they're not, I'm just playing my game.
Virginia is now 18-3 overall. That's the Cavalier's best start since going 27-3 to open the 1982-83 season.
