Notes on UVA’s schedule

The ‘Hoos open league play with SMU on the road on December 7^th and is the lone conference game before the exam break. A little over a month later, Tony Bennett’s group will embark on their first west coast swing in this new era of ACC basketball, seeing Cal and Stanford just three days apart before returning home to see SMU for a second time.

A noon tip on New Year’s Eve against the NC State Wolfpack, the very team that ended Virginia’s ACC Tournament run this past March, is certainly a first-half-defining game.

As for the perennial title contenders, Virginia will see Duke and North Carolina just once in the regular season; those dates coming in succession on February 17^th (home) and February 22^nd (away) respectively. The Cavaliers will see the Hokies twice in February, once on the first Saturday of the month in Charlottesville and then for a second time two weeks later in Blacksburg.

The schedule features two Saturday-Monday turnarounds and both come in conference play in February which will be valuable dress rehearsals for when it’s time to fill out brackets. Pittsburgh follows Virginia Tech on the third of February and Duke also follows the Hokies oddly enough on the 17th.
