Reynolds goes off
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Think Virginia fans would have taken a 23-point game from J.R. Reynolds in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
That's what Reynolds had at the half in leading Virginia to a 45-25 lead against Albany.
Reynolds, who entered the game in a 9-for-44 shooting slump, made his first seven shots from the field and finished the half 7-for-9.
On one of the shots he missed, Reynolds grabbed the rebound, was fouled and made two free throws.
In the process, Reynolds, a senior from Roanoke, Va., moved into 10th place on UVa's all-time scoring list ahead of John Crotty (1,646).
Reynolds also drew the early defensive assignment on two-time America East Jamar Wilson, who had 12 points at the half but didn't get his first bucket until UVa was ahead 21-6.
