After an upset loss against the Virginia Tech Hokies, the Cavaliers will be looking for revenge in one of the ACC’s hottest games. A great performance by Jayden Gardner (20 points, 10 rebounds), and Kihei Clark (17 points, 5 rebounds) was not enough to prevent the Cavaliers from losing their matchup 74-68. The Hoos’ main strength has been their defense, which is the ninth-highest-scoring defense in the nation and has only allowed an average of 60.9 points per game. The weakness has been in 3-point shooting, both offensively and defensively. The defense is No. 201 in 3-point shooting defense, and the offense has only hit 18% of all 3-point shots. The Virginia Cavaliers are second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 17-4 record, 9-3 in the conference, trailing only the Clemson Tigers (18-6, 10-3 conf).
 
Although the oddsmakers are giving the Cavaliers as the favorite, we will definitely have a hard-fought game as both teams need a win to stay in the fight for first place in the ACC.
