The Virginia Cavaliers, sitting at 3-0, have not yet had a real true test so far this season. The current KenPom rankings of the three opponents the Hoos beat are 293, 231, and 350, respectively. That’s unimpressive. Things will change this week as Virginia participates in the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.
The first matchup is against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. These teams have faced once before, in the second round of the 1989 NCAA Tournament. Virginia won that game 104-88. Figure on this year’s game being a much lower-scoring affair.
