Elijah Saunders - Leads Cavs in scoring ThursdaySaunders finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 59-41 win over Bethune-Cookman.

ImpactSaunders was the only starter who scored more than 10 points in this contest, but that shouldn't be surprising after the first few weeks of the regular season. Firmly entrenched as one of the Cavaliers' go-to scoring weapons, he's posted at least 15 points in two of his past three outings.

Jacob Cofie - Posts double-double ThursdayCofie posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 59-41 win over Bethune-Cookman.

ImpactCofie continues to play off the bench for the Cavaliers, but there's no question he was impressive in this matchup en route to a double-double. Cofie has two double-doubles on the season, but most importantly, he's scored in double digits in five of his 10 contests despite averaging a mere 22.1 minutes per tilt.

Taine Murray - Starting ThursdayMurray is in the starting five for Thursday's game versus Bethune-Cookman.

ImpactMurray is starting his first game of the season Thursday with Dai Dai Ames (ankle) out. Murray has played at least 25 minutes in each of the last two games and has averaged 5.0 points and 3.5 rebounds during that small stretch.

Dai Dai Ames - Not spotted warming upAmes (ankle) has not been seen warming up ahead of Thursday's game versus Bethune-Cookman, Michael Liebermann of The Cavalier Daily reports.

ImpactAmes suffered an ankle injury this past Saturday and it looks like that injury could cost him Thursday's contest. Given his absence from warmups it's very unlikely he will play, which could pave the way for Taine Murray to join the starting five.

Christian Bliss - Not warming upBliss wasn't spotted warming up ahead of Virginia's clash with Bethune-Cookman, Michael Liebermann of the Cavalier Daily reports.

ImpactBliss doesn't appear as if he'll be able to return on Thursday night for Virginia. The guard, who has yet to play this season, will get his next chance to suit up on Dec. 18 against Memphis.

Taine Murray - Playing time picking upMurray has seen 21 or more minutes in three consecutive games for the Cavaliers.

ImpactDespite the added run of late, the senior wing has accumulated just 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting over that three-game stretch. He remains one of the team's go-to reserves and is averaging nearly five minutes more per contest than a season ago, but the pace and nature of the Virginia offense simply doesn't lend itself to more than a few regular fantasy producers.
