The Cavs also enjoyed some success inside as Elton Brown showed his muscle and the Cavs had a double digit lead most of the half. But give the Tribe credit. William & Mary stayed within striking distance, basically by taking whatever was available. The Tribe hit the break down 48-to-37. But by the time the 8 minute mark rolled around William & Mary had cut the UVa lead to just one point at 64-to-63.
