This weekend, the Virginia Cavaliers proved that they could win a tough game against a good team without shooting the ball well from the outside. Playing on the road, against a top-20 team, Virginia shot just 2-for-17 from downtown and still managed a double-digit win.
Next up is a game that isn’t quite as challenging. For one thing, the Hoos are back home. For another thing, their last opponent (Louisville) is ranked No. 19 on KenPom. Georgia Tech, the next opponent for the Cavaliers, ranks 109th.
The Yellow Jackets are 12-16 (4-11 ACC). They beat Syracuse at the Carrier Dome (not an easy place to win), but they also lost at home to Gardner-Webb.
