After two losses, the Virginia Cavaliers were able to shake off some rust and get a couple wins to close out 2022. The new year begins with a third straight ACC road contest (with a home win over Albany thrown in there too) against the Pittsburgh Panthers, who have won four in a row and nine of ten. They are coming off a big home win over UNC in which they trailed late but managed to pull it out with some key late buckets.
Pittsburgh is 3-0 in the ACC, 10-4 overall. This is a strange team.
