Previewing Virginia basketball’s Black Friday matchup with Holy Cross

Related Topics: Holy Cross, Virginia, Ron Sanchez

The Virginia Cavaliers secured a win against Manhattan this Tuesday, a much needed bounce back after a brutal trip to the Bahamas which involved two blowout losses (to Tennessee and St. John’s, two really good teams for what it’s worth). Unfortunately, the 74-65 win wasn’t as commanding as Coach Ron Sanchez and the ’Hoos hoped for against a lesser opponent.

Holy Cross is perennially one of the worst teams in college basketball. They haven’t won more than 10 games since 2019, and they play in the Patriot League which is pretty much run by a team that shares its name with a toothpaste company (it’s Colgate — but Crest is better).
