Steve Gruber set the show on fire for Virginia Cavaliers. It was the most entertaining game witnessed by Virginia fans at John Paul Jones Arena. Gruber, a 5 feet 11 inches back up guard was the main attraction of the second half, the most entertaining part was when this junior from Milwaukee, netted an off balance shot from about 50 feet. The time was running out, Gruber caught the ball in the back court and without wasting any time he threw the ball and the ball was in the hoop ending his dry run this season. The sparsely populated crowd at the John Paul Jones Arena was dozing off for most part of the game. Gruber brought them back to life by his spectacular 50 feet shot.
