CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Anthony Gill scored 18 points and Joe Harris had 16 as Virginia beat Navy 67-42 on Tuesday night.

Mike Tobey added 13 points and eight rebounds and Malcolm Brogdon scored 13 for Virginia (3-1), which won its second straight since a 59-56 home loss to No. 10 VCU. The Cavaliers led 32-17 at halftime and never let the Midshipmen make a run, and both coaches substituted liberally in the closing minutes.

The Midshipmen (2-3) got 15 points from Brandon Venturini but shot just 33 percent (16-48) while allowing the Cavaliers to convert 56.6 percent (30-53).

Harris, who scored just one point in a victory against Davidson on Saturday, hit a 3-pointer 3:09 into the game. After a back-and-forth first 12 minutes, Virginia pulled ahead with a 13-0 run as the Midshipmen went scoreless for nearly six minutes, at one point committing six turnovers in a row without a shot.
