Transfers lead No. 4 UVa to rout of Towson in Bubbleville

Associated Press  

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Virginia coach Tony Bennett already had a roster that was expected to compete for a national title this season, even without sharpshooter Trey Murphy III, who was expected to sit out a year after transferring from Rice. The game was the first in an 11-day event dubbed “Bubbleville,” which includes several tournaments and individual games being played inside the Mohegan Sun resort casino in Connecticut. “But as long as the ball moves and it’s a good timed shot, we’ll take it.” Timberlake was the lone bright spot for Towson, which lost its top three scorers from last season. “We’ll learn from it.” ATMOSPHERE There were a number socially distanced gamblers inside the Mohegan Sun casino but no fans inside the 10,000-seat arena. “You couldn’t really see it, because I had my mask on.” POLL IMPLICATIONS Virginia did nothing to dissuade those watching that it deserves a top-5 ranking, though it isn’t expected to get a real test before a planned Dec. 9 matchup with Michigan State, a week before Atlantic Coast Conference play begins.
