In the wake of the unfathomable tragedy this past Sunday, the Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team returns to action tonight against the Baylor Bears. The ‘Hoos head to Las Vegas for the Continental Tire Main Event. Their opening game will come against the #5 team in the nation, Baylor. Virginia ranks 16th. The other two teams in this event are UCLA (8th) and Illinois (19th).
This opponent won a national title in 2021, although there is very little left on the roster from that game. That national championship Baylor team was the top shooting team in the nation, making over 41% of their threes.
