In their last game against Wake Forest, the Cavaliers eked out a narrow victory with a score of 49-47. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up an impressive 13 blocks and kept turnovers low at eight, showcasing their ability to disrupt opponents' offensive flow. However, shooting accuracy from the free-throw line was a concern as they only hit nine percent of those shots.


A few days prior, Virginia faced Pittsburgh and suffered a defeat with a final score of 63-74 despite shooting fifty percent from the field and dominating points in paint with thirty-six. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at an impressive 3.8 but it wasn't enough to secure victory.
