Virginia Cavaliers Set to Tangle with Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Greensboro

The Cavaliers have had a season of mixed results but have shown resilience and potential for growth. With an average of 60.7 points per game from last season's data, they've demonstrated an ability to put up competitive numbers on the scoreboard. Their playmaking ability has been evident with an average of 12.1 assists per game, suggesting that teamwork is one of their strong suits.


Rebounding has been another area where Virginia has excelled; pulling down approximately 34 rebounds per game indicates their control under both baskets. Defensively, they've been active as well with an average of 7 steals and nearly 3 blocks per contest – numbers that reflect their defensive tenacity.


However, ball security will be crucial for Virginia as they averaged over 15 turnovers a game in the previous season. Reducing this number will be key against a Wake Forest team that will look to capitalize on any mistakes.


Personal fouls have also been a concern for Virginia; averaging 20 fouls per game can lead to trouble if not kept in check. Discipline on defense without compromising aggressiveness will be essential in keeping key players out of foul trouble.


The venue may play its part too; playing away from home at Greensboro Coliseum could influence the dynamics on court with different environmental factors coming into play compared to familiar settings.


Fans can catch all the action and see how these analytics translate onto the court when Virginia takes on Wake Forest at Greensboro Coliseum on March 6th at 6:30 PM Eastern Time broadcasted live on ACC Network.
