Can Virginia make it three in a row when they face Stanford today?

After dropping the triple overtime game against Virginia Tech on New Year's Eve, Virginia has dominated NC State and California. The Cavaliers have looked much better, but Stanford is coming into this game with a lot of confidence after beating Virginia Tech earlier this week.

Virginia is 1-8 all-time (0-1 ACC) vs. Stanford in a series that dates to 1991-92. Stanford won the inaugural ACC meeting last season, posting a convincing 88-65 win over Virginia in Palo Alto. Virginia is 1-2 vs. the Cardinal with its lone win in the series in 1992-93 (72-48 at University Hall). Stanford has scored 72 or more points against Virginia in six of the nine meetings.
