After a seemingly endless wait, Virginia Cavaliers basketball is back in action! The ‘Hoos opened the 2023-24 campaign with a commanding 80-50 victory against Tarleton State at John Paul Jones Arena. There were a lot of positive signs from Virginia’s win, but there are just as many unknowns waiting to be answered in the coming games.
Fortunately, instead of easing their way into the season by just scheduling buy-games, Virginia is set to take on a high-major opponent in just their second game of the season: The Florida Gators.
The Gators had a middling 2022-23 season — finishing 8th in the SEC with a 16-17 record overall — but with a few big transfers and some players poised for breakouts, Florida could find their way back into the NCAA Tournament.
