1. They Are Only Allowing 47.2 Points Per Game

These guys from Virginia play great defense every season, but they are truly shutting teams down in 2016. The are currently first in the conference in points allowed per game with 47.2. It doesn’t matter who they’re playing, that’s just simply ridiculous.

Earlier in the season, they played St. Francis Brooklyn and Yale back to back. While those aren’t two great basketball teams, they both schools didn’t even score 40 points on the Cavaliers. Brooklyn only scored 32 and Yale only scored 38.

With that being said, this game against Virginia is going to be a battle of two, great defensive basketball teams.

However, I would guess that the Cards will put up more than 47 points on Wednesday night. Well, at least I sure do hope so.
