The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team scored 80 points for the first time all season as they beat the Miami Hurricanes 82-71 on Wednesday. With the win, UVA is back in the ACC Tournament field! They’re currently 13th in the conference, with a 10-11 overall record (3-7 in the ACC). And sitting one spot above the ‘Hoos is none other than Mike Young and the Virginia Tech Hokies (9-12, 4-6 in the ACC).
The Hokies lost their entire rotation from last season. I’m not exaggerating. Eight of their top nine scorers are gone, including multi-year starters Sean Pedulla, Hunter Catoor, and Lynn Kidd.
