3. They are 2nd in the ACC In Field Goal Percentage Offense

Virginia may move at a slow pace on offense and be one of the worst teams in the conference in scoring per game, but they are extremely efficient. They take a ton of high-percentage shots throughout games that give them the best opportunity to score.

The Cavaliers are very disciplined on both side of the floor, but you will not see them taking too many contested shots during a game.

They are unselfish, great passers, and all-around solid basketball players. These kids don’t need a spotlight to perform at a high level, therefore the crowd noise will not affect their shooting or passing whatsoever in the Yum Center.

Expect Virginia to get many good looks at the basket against the Cards on Wednesday night.
