The Virginia Cavaliers started their 2023-24 campaign with an impressive 80-50 victory over a feisty but overmatched Tarleton State squad at John Paul Jones Arena. The Cavaliers came out firing, finishing the first half shooting 56% beyond the arc and 58% overall, and controlled the game from start to finish. The game gave us our first look at Virginia’s transfers and freshmen as well as Tony Bennett’s rotation in the early going.
