In a back and forth contest, the Virginia Cavaliers dropped a disappointing game to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 69-65. The ‘Hoos had opportunities to pull out the win but couldn’t string together enough offense to come out on top.

While UVA’s offense largely struggled throughout the first half, the Wahoo bigs kept the team alive with nine offensive rebounds which produced 14 second class points.
Much of that was Jayden Gardner as the East Carolina transfer finished with 22 points on 10-17 shooting to go with 10 rebounds and five on the offensive glass.
