Virginia and Virginia Tech Gear Up for Intense Battle on the Court

Both the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech have faced underwhelming seasons at the Old Dominion. With coach Tony Bennett's sudden departure before the season, Virginia has struggled offensively under new leadership. Virginia Tech has had mixed success on the road, most recently defeating Florida State, but will face a challenge against Virginia's pack line defense. Despite Virginia's usual offensive struggles, they are showing signs of improvement, evident in their recent win over Miami. Playing at home gives the Cavaliers an advantage, potentially leading to a closely contested victory.
