The Cavaliers come into this game with a solid foundation from their previous season's performance. With an impressive track record of 33 games played, they have shown consistency on the court. Their shooting accuracy was remarkable, boasting a perfect free throw percentage and true shooting percentage, as well as an outstanding two-point shot success rate last season.


Defensively, Virginia has proven itself formidable with an average of 4.3 blocks and 6.82 steals per game – numbers that reflect their ability to disrupt opponents' plays effectively. On offense, they've demonstrated efficiency with an average of 67.8 points per game fueled by 15.7 assists which indicates a strong team dynamic in creating scoring opportunities.

Rebounding has also been a key aspect for Virginia; pulling down nearly 30 rebounds per game shows their tenacity on both ends of the floor. This level of performance is something fans hope will continue into the upcoming match against Boston College.


However, it's not just about individual stats but also about how well they can maintain discipline on court; averaging only around 14 personal fouls per game suggests that Virginia knows how to play hard without crossing lines that could cost them valuable points or possession.

Fans can catch all the action live on March 14th at 9:30 PM Eastern Time as ESPN Networks broadcasts what promises to be an enthralling encounter between these two teams right from Washington DC’s renowned venue.
