 Jay Huff added 14 points for the Cavaliers, who never trailed and led by 23 points at halftime. Nicolas Timberlake scored 19 points for Towson, which was a late replacement after Maine withdrew from the game Tuesday.

 The game was the first in an 11-day event dubbed “Bubbleville” at the Mohegan Sun resort casino in Connecticut. Murphy transferred to Virginia from Rice and learned on Tuesday that he’d received an NCAA waiver to play this season.
