The Syracuse Orange, ranked 19th, edged out a victory against the unranked Virginia Cavaliers with a final score of 85-79. The Orange now hold an impressive record of 24-21 while the Cavaliers stand at 10-18 after this encounter.

At the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, the Syracuse Orange displayed a remarkable performance that culminated in their triumph over the Virginia Cavaliers. The game began with an assertive start from the Orange as they racked up 24 points to the Cavaliers' mere 10 by the end of the first quarter. Maintaining their momentum into the second quarter, they added another 21 points to their tally.

The offensive efforts of Syracuse were bolstered by their sharpshooting from beyond the arc; they converted an outstanding 60 percent of three-point attempts into points on board. Their field goal percentage was also noteworthy at a solid 52 percent for all shots taken during play.

Defensively, Syracuse managed to block two shots and steal possession six times throughout this intense matchup. They demonstrated teamwork with a total of nineteen assists which contributed significantly to their scoring opportunities.

Rebounding was another area where Syracuse excelled; they pulled down a total of thirty-five rebounds—twenty-five defensive and nine offensive—showing tenacity on both ends of the court. This effort gave them additional chances as evidenced by twelve second-chance points scored during critical moments.

The fast-paced nature of their play was evident through sixteen fast break points which kept pressure on Virginia's defense consistently throughout each quarter. Despite committing thirteen personal fouls and turning over possession sixteen times themselves, it did not deter them from maintaining control over game flow.

On individual player statistics for Syracuse, turnovers were kept relatively low with only fifteen attributed to players directly—a testament to careful ball handling and decision-making under pressure.

Conversely, while putting up a valiant fight against their opponents' onslaughts, Virginia managed twenty-seven assists but fell short defensively with twenty-two personal fouls leading one player being foul outed from action entirely—a setback that may have impacted team dynamics adversely during crucial stretches within gameplay.

Virginia's resilience shone through in later quarters where they amassed twenty-three and twenty-eight points respectively but ultimately could not close down what had been established by Syracuse earlier on in competition despite having five blocks and ten steals defensively speaking overall for game duration.
