The first quarter of the Virginia Cavaliers’ out-of-conference season is over, with the Hoos starting by easily dispatching Towson, George Washington, and Coppin State. Next up, the team heads to the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas, where they will start off against Middle Tennessee State - the full bracket is here.
But first, here are three takeaways from the season’s first three games:
1) Context is important - the team has yet to meet a real challenge
My first takeaway: Don’t take away too much. UVA’s strength-of-schedule clocks in inside the bottom ten in the nation on KenPom to date, with the team’s opponents combining to go 0-13 against D-I competition to date.
