No. 6 Cavaliers stay unbeaten with late surge over Southeast

The photo shows a basketball game in action inside an indoor gymnasium. The main focus is on two players: one wearing a white jersey with yellow and blue trim, who is leaping into the air to take a jump shot, holding the basketball high above their head. The other player, in a dark jersey with the number 13 on the back, is attempting to block the shot with an outstretched arm.
In the background, there are visible elements of the gym such as overhead lights, a scoreboard, and blue wall padding along the lower section of the wall. The lighting is bright, and the scene captures the intensity of the play, emphasizing the height and reach of both athletes during this moment.
