Score updates and live analysis for the UVA basketball game against Villanova on Friday evening at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.

Villanova being favored on a neutral site is puzzling to our college basketball expert. Virginia should be able to dictate the tempo and cover in this spot.

A nightmare week for Villanova Basketball has come to an end. After suffering a loss to Big 5 rival Saint Joseph’s earlier on Tuesday, Villanova headed down to Baltimore for the Hall of Fame Series against Virginia and played from behind for a majority of the game.

Five players on Virginia are averaging over 40% from three, albeit, once again, a small-ish sample size. Where the offense has often sputtered is in its frontcourt production, i.e. sophomore center Blake Buchanan’s interior play.
