Virginia just got back from its exam break yesterday, plays again tomorrow night against American, then gets another long break before the start of ACC play.
I don’t like this, but nobody asks me.
The ‘Hoos (10-1, NET: 29) looked sluggish coming out of the gate on Saturday in what turned into an 80-72 win over Maryland, which led 19-11 at the under-four timeout before the UVA offense finally got into gear.
American (7-5, NET: 245) has two non-D1 wins, a couple of respectable losses (88-74 at Wake Forest on Nov. 3; 80-71 at Rutgers on Nov. 18).
AU’s most recent game was a 105-83 loss at VCU this past Thursday.
Tipoff for the UVA-American game is at 6 p.m. ET.
The game is being broadcast on ACC Network.
