Virginia and Virginia Tech Set for Rare Matchup of Losing Teams

The in-state rivals face off in Charlottesville as both programs look to build momentum late in the season.

Virginia (10-11, 3-7 ACC) hosts Virginia Tech (9-12, 4-6 ACC) in their first conference meeting of the season on Saturday at 4 p.m. EST.
This is the first time since 1970 that both teams enter their matchup with losing records, highlighting a challenging season for both programs.
Virginia's recent success has been fueled by strong three-point shooting, with Isaac McKneely and Taine Murray leading the charge in their win over Miami earlier this week.
Virginia Tech has shown improvement in ACC play, with Tobi Lawal emerging as a key player, averaging 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in conference games.
Both teams aim to capitalize on recent road victories as they look to finish the regular season on a stronger note.
