Virginia Cavaliers defeated Pitt on the road and are now preparing to face an opponent they have beaten 12 times in a row. The Cavaliers have an 11-12 overall record and are ranked 14th in the ACC with a 4-8 conference record.

Dai Dai Ames led the team with a career-high 27 points. The Cavaliers are known for their strong defense, allowing an average of 64.9 points per game. Isaac McKneely is the team's leading scorer with 13.1 points per game. Overall, Virginia shoots 44.5% from the field and 37.6% from beyond the arc.

Georgia Tech Victorious in Triple-Overtime Thriller, but Faces Setback with Multiple Injuries Heading into Showdown Against Virginia

Georgia Tech emerged victorious in a challenging triple-overtime game against Clemson, however, the team is currently facing a significant setback due to multiple injuries impacting their player rotation. During the game, George played a full 55 minutes, Ndongo and Terry each played 52 minutes, Powell played 49, and Souare played 43. McCollum played 14 minutes before leaving due to a head injury, while the remaining two players combined for only 10 minutes of playtime. This limited depth will pose a considerable challenge against a defensively strong Virginia team that excels in pressuring opponents on every offensive possession. Virginia, coming off a recent victory against Pitt, has historically dominated Georgia Tech. It is recommended to favor Virginia at home in this matchup to continue their success against the injury-plagued Yellow Jackets.
