As the Virginia Cavaliers gear up for their upcoming clash with the High Point Panthers, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an enthralling encounter at John Paul Jones Arena. The Cavaliers, who have shown a consistent performance throughout the previous season, are looking to capitalize on their home court advantage.

Last season's analytics reveal a team that has been solid defensively but has room for improvement on the offensive end. Averaging 60.7 points per game with a true shooting percentage of zero indicates that shooting efficiency is an area where the Cavaliers could gain ground. Despite this, they have managed to maintain an average of 12.1 assists per game, suggesting that teamwork and ball movement are among their strengths.

The defensive stats paint a picture of a tenacious squad; averaging 34 rebounds and over seven steals per game demonstrates their ability to disrupt opponents' play and control the boards. However, with an average of 20 personal fouls per game, discipline might be something for them to keep in check.

On offense, field goal accuracy is crucial – without any three-point percentage from last season's data available – it’s clear that improving shot selection and execution will be key factors in securing victories moving forward.

The Cavaliers also need to address ball handling as they averaged over 15 turnovers per game last season; reducing these will undoubtedly help them maintain control during critical moments in games.

With these statistics in mind, fans can expect a focused Virginia team ready to tighten up their defense while seeking more fluidity and precision on offense. The upcoming match against High Point Panthers offers an opportunity for the Cavaliers to showcase improvements made during off-season preparations.

Mark your calendars for March 21st at 1:00 PM EDT as Virginia takes on High Point at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. Fans can catch all the action live and cheer on their team as they strive for victory on home soil.
