Things haven’t been going well for Virginia Basketball as of late as the Cavaliers have lost three straight. Opponents have started to clog the inside, forcing Virginia to take more outside shots. When those shots drop, Virginia is very difficult to beat. When they don’t, the defense hasn’t been good enough to consistently win.
In Virginia’s last game — a loss to NC State — the Cavaliers shot just 28% from three on 25 attempts (almost half the total FGA). Only Sam Hauser (5-for-11) was knocking down shots, and most of those came in the second half. The rest of the team shot 2-for-14, and that just is not going to get it done.
