The previous game saw them face off against Virginia Cavaliers away from home where they suffered a significant defeat scoring only 38 points to Virginia's 60. Their field goal percentage dipped to an alarming low of 29 percent and an even more concerning ten percent from three-point range.

However, redemption came when they returned home to face Virginia Tech Hokies where they secured an emphatic victory with an impressive scoreline of 82-74. The team showed resilience bouncing back by shooting better overall at 45 percent from the field and showcasing exceptional accuracy from both free throws (93 percent) and three-pointers (44 percent).
