Last Saturday, the Cavaliers ended up a good deal behind the Wolfpack and lost 76-60.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Reece Beekman, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and ten assists. That's the first time this season that he posted ten or more assists. Another player making a difference was Ryan Dunn, who scored 16 points along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, after a string of nine wins, Wake Forest's good fortune finally ran out on Tuesday. They fell 87-82 to the Seminoles. Wake Forest didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

Despite their defeat, Wake Forest saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Kevin Miller, who scored 21 points along with eight rebounds and five assists, was perhaps the best of all. Cameron Hildreth was another key contributor, scoring 25 points.

Virginia is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a three-game streak of failing to cover when playing on the road.

Virginia beat Wake Forest 76-67 in their previous meeting back in January of 2023. Will Virginia repeat their success, or does Wake Forest have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
