UVA

Unlike the regular-season meeting, UVA kept close to Duke all game long Saturday night.

UVA finished the first half in dominant fashion on its way to a 84-62 win over the Hurricanes, earning a spot in the ACC championship game for the first time since 2023.

Brown, the ACC’s Defensive Player and Sixth Man of the Year, forced a pair of key turnovers that turned into fast-break baskets for the Blue Devils in Thursday’s win.

Proceeds will benefit the Tom Sox and their mission of community engagement, passion, excellence, and of course, player development. 

Cavaliers will play in the semifinals Friday at 7 p.m.

Wednesday afternoon, 12 children who battled critical illness got the chance to spend time with the UVA baseball team, part of an event put on by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia and Cav Futures. 

Virginia has allowed just 66.1 points per game in its last 11 outings as it opens play in the ACC tournament.

Big names like Cameron Boozer and Ebuka Okorie aren’t the only players capable of carrying their teams this week in Charlotte.

Fans can attend the show live at The Dairy Market beginning at 7 p.m. 

DeRidder had 11 20-point games and three double-doubles during the regular season. Onyenso tied for the ACC lead in blocked shots. DeRidder is UVA’s first first-team selection since Sam Hauser in 2021.
