Previewing UVA’s matchup at Florida in the ACC-SEC Challenge
The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team has played a couple of games to wash the bad taste out of their mouths from Baha Mar. Since their blowout losses to both Tennessee and St. John’s, Ron Sanchez’s squad has taken care of a pair of low-major opponents in Manhattan and Holy Cross.
This week, the ‘Hoos travel down to Gainesville, looking for what would likely be a Quad 1 win against Florida. UVA grabbed an early season 73-70 victory over the Gators last year, thanks to Blake Buchanan’s 18 points off the bench. Florida finished the season with 24-11 record in a strong SEC, making that one of the signature wins that earned UVA an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament.
