In their last outing at home against the Terriers, Virginia narrowly missed victory with a final score of 70-71. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their ability to dominate rebounds with 45 compared to the Terriers' 27 and an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.12. However, they'll need to address their three-point shooting accuracy which was just 17 percent.


Prior to that game, Virginia showcased their strength on home turf against Rider Broncs with a convincing win of 78-51. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they limited the Broncs' scoring opportunities while amassing an overwhelming total rebound count of 60 and converting second-chance points effectively.


An away game against La Salle Explorers saw Virginia in fine form offensively as they put up an impressive tally of 94 points while maintaining high efficiency from inside the paint and from free throws where they shot an outstanding 92 percent.


The upcoming match promises excitement as Virginia looks to capitalize on its strong rebounding and fast break capabilities within familiar confines. The team will aim for consistency in shooting efficiency and seek another dominant performance on both ends of the court.


Fans can catch all the action live from Charlottesville on December 31st at John Paul Jones Arena where tip-off is scheduled for just before midnight Eastern Time.
