What to Know

Virginia is 8-2 against the Panthers since January of 2017, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. Both teams will face off in an ACC battle at 7:00 p.m. ET at John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia will be looking to keep their 23-game home win streak (dating back to last season) alive.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up ten more assists than your opponent, a fact Virginia proved on Saturday. They managed a 80-76 victory over the Seminoles.

Virginia can attribute much of their success to Isaac McKneely, who scored 29 points along with five rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points McKneely has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Reece Beekman, who scored 21 points along with five assists and two steals.

Pittsburgh aren't just finding sucess at home, as their game on Wednesday extended their overall winning streak to three. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 67-64 win over the Wolfpack.

Pittsburgh's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jaland Lowe, who scored 20 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Blake Hinson, who scored 16 points.

The Cavaliers are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 19-5 record this season. As for the Panthers, their victory bumped their record up to 15-8.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Virginia haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 8.4 turnovers per game (they're ranked first in turnovers per game overall). However, it's not like Pittsburgh struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 9.9 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Looking forward, Virginia is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by six points. For those looking to play the spread, take note: they are a solid 14-5-1 against the spread when expected to win.
