Recent Performance Trends


The Virginia Cavaliers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Louisville, despite a valiant effort that saw them rack up 65 points with an impressive field goal percentage of 51 percent and dominating the paint with 52 points, they fell short by just three points. Their defensive efforts were notable, blocking 11 shots and stealing the ball nine times. However, their three-point shooting was lackluster at best, converting only one out of fourteen attempts.


Against Georgia Tech, despite putting up a strong fight and scoring 62 points with a decent field goal percentage of 40 percent and making six out of twenty-two three-point attempts, they were unable to secure victory. Their fast break points stood out at eighteen but weren't enough to overcome Georgia Tech's offense.


In contrast, during their visit to North Carolina State's Reynolds Coliseum, the Cavaliers managed to score 68 points with an exceptional field goal percentage of 53 percent and excelled from beyond the arc by hitting ten out of twenty-one three-pointers. Despite this high efficiency in shooting and scoring more effectively inside than in previous games with 28 paint points, turnovers proved costly as they handed over possession nineteen times leading to a loss.


Looking Ahead
