After consecutive victories against Davidson and Navy, the Virginia men’s basketball team is working to regain its stride after suffering its first loss last week at the hands of No. 12 Virginia Commonwealth. The Cavaliers seek to continue that stride when they face Liberty at John Paul Jones Arena Saturday at 4 p.m. in the first round of the Corpus Christi Challenge.
The Virginia men’s basketball team cruised to a 67-42 victory against Navy Tuesday night. All 15 active players saw playing time and four scored in double figures. Virginia fans should be pleased with the team’s performance. Or should they?
Just a minute and a half into the Virginia men’s basketball team’s game against Navy, Midshipmen sophomore center Will Kelly hit a jumper to tie the game at 2-2. Just over a minute later, Virginia sophomore center Mike Tobey hit a baseline jumper off a slick pass from senior guard Joe Harris to break the tie, and the Cavaliers would never look back.
Coming off an impressive 70-57 rout of Davidson, the Virginia men’s basketball team (2-1) will take on the Navy Midshipmen (2-2) Tuesday night for the first time since 1974.

One shot was all there was time for. Virginia Commonwealth’s Treveon Graham corralled a pass from fellow guard Rob Brandenburg and heaved a desperation 3-pointer from what seemed to be thirty feet out.
After going all of last year unranked, the No. 25 Virginia men’s basketball team will enter their matchup against No. 14 Virginia Commonwealth University looking to make an early season statement.
As coach Tony Bennett enters his fifth season at the University with sky-high expectations, here are five takeaways from Virginia’s sloppy season-opening victory.
In his first game since missing all of last season with a foot injury, redshirt sophomore guard Malcolm Brogdon finished with nine points on 3-of-4 3-point shooting to lead Virginia to a season opening 61-41 win against James Madison Friday night.
After a 73-68 win against then-No. 3 Duke in front of a raucous crowd at John Paul Jones, it appeared that the Virginia men’s basketball team could make an ACC and even NCAA Tournament run behind the hot hand of then-junior guard Joe Harris and the steady post presence of then-junior forward Akil Mitchell. Instead, the Cavaliers were stood up for the Big Dance after dropping two of their final three games to close the regular season and getting thrashed by N.C.
