Virginia @ James Madison

Current Records: Virginia 6-3; James Madison 7-2

What to Know

After a three-game homestand, the Virginia Cavaliers will be on the road. They will take on the James Madison Dukes at 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Atlantic Union Bank Center. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Virginia skirted by the Pittsburgh Panthers 57-56 last Friday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from forward Jayden Gardner as the clock expired. The Cavaliers' Gardner filled up the stat sheet, picking up 15 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, the sound you heard last week was the absolute smackdown James Madison laid on the Eastern Mennonite Royals.

Virginia is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-5 against the spread when favored.

Virginia is now 6-3 while James Madison sits at 7-2. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Cavaliers enter the matchup with only 10.2 turnovers per game on average, good for 23rd best in college basketball. But the Dukes rank 18th in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 18.3 on average. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
