Key insights from UVA basketball's close win against Northeastern
Reece Beekman's clutch performance saved the Virginia Cavaliers from a potential upset against the Northeastern Huskies, highlighting his importance to the team. Despite the win, UVA struggled defensively in the paint and lacked secondary offensive creation. Easy points were hard to come by, with poor shooting at the rim and free throw line. However, the Cavaliers capitalized on opponent turnovers to secure the victory. These issues need to be addressed for UVA to compete at a high level in the future.
