In their last game against the Hokies, Virginia struggled on both ends of the court. Scoring only 41 points and shooting a mere 33 percent from the field reflects an offense that needs to find its rhythm. Their two-point attempts were particularly lackluster with just a 38 percent success rate, while three-point shots were even less effective at 17 percent. Defensively, they managed only four steals and three blocks but allowed a staggering 75 points.

However, there was a glimmer of hope in their game against Wake Forest where they narrowly edged out with a two-point victory. The Cavaliers showed defensive prowess with an impressive 13 blocks and maintained better control over turnovers compared to previous games.

The most recent home game versus Pittsburgh displayed Virginia's potential when elements click into place. They shot an efficient 50 percent from the field and boasted a high assists turnover ratio of 3.8 – signs of effective ball movement and decision-making.
