Series History: Syracuse holds a 9-4 series lead over Virginia and has won the last two meetings. That includes a 6-2 edge since the Orange joined the ACC and a 4-1 mark in the Dome. Syracuse picked up a win at Virginia last season 77-70 and last hosted the Cavs in 2019. 

Syracuse has been playing good basketball of late, winning three of its last four. Its two most recent losses were close contests against highly ranked opponents in NC State and Notre Dame. The three most recent Orange victories were all by double figures including two on the road. It is a almost entirely new roster this season compared to last as the program underwent tremendous change. Felisha Legette-Jack was hired in the offseason to rebuild the program and has made a huge difference in year one. She brought with her several transfers who have helped the turnaround from a losing season last season. Dyaisha Fair leads the team in scoring (19.1), assists (4.1) and steals (2.7). The Orange has three players averaging more than two steals per game. Teisha Hyman does a bit of everything, averaging 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Syracuse takes a lot of shots from three point range, though it is only shooting 30% from deep on the season. Dariauna Lewis has been tremendous inside, averaging 9.4 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. She has nine double-doubles on the season.

Virginia had a strong start to the season but has struggled in conference play. It started the season 12-0 but is just 3-6 in conference play and has lost five of its last six coming into the matchup with Syracuse. Forward Camryn Taylor leads the Cavs at 13 points and six rebounds per game. Guard Mir McLean is a skilled scorer and rebounder, averaging 12.2 points and 9.6 boards per game.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
