The Virginia Cavaliers’ loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers was a downer, as the Wahoos led by double-digits at halftime, and just did not handle Pitt’s offense at all in the second half. Poor defensive performances have been too common with Virginia Basketball the past few years, a surprising turn for Tony Bennett coached teams.
The team hopes to get back on track with a much-needed home game, this time against the Syracuse Orange. This Syracuse team has also lost to Pitt, but are riding a two game winning streak. The Orange are 10-5 overall, 3-1 ACC.
