Marshall (7-6) forced Virginia into an uncharacteristic 16 turnovers, but most of those came late in the game when the Cavaliers' bench was on the floor.

The Thundering Herd shot 35.1 percent for the game and were just 6 of 22 from beyond the arc. Senior guard Jon Elmore led Marshall with 14 points.

Virginia walk-on Grant Kersey entered the game late in the second half and buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Virginia 100 points.

The Cavaliers led by as many as 27 in the first half after using a 17-2 spurt to bury the Herd. Virginia shot 57 percent during the game's first 20 minutes and took a comfortable 50-25 lead into the locker room.

Guy scored 13 first-half points to lead all scorers as he knocked down three of Virginia's five 3-pointers.
