No. 16 Virginia has a huge game tomorrow against No. 20 Louisville and they might be getting one of their top players back. Guard Jacari White has not played since a win over Maryland on Dec. 20th, but he is listed as probable on the latest availability report.

If White is able to go tomorrow, it would be a huge boost to Virginia, a team that has won three straight after their opening loss in conference play to Virginia Tech. He is averaging 10.9 PPG, 2.5 RPG, and 1.5 APG on 49% shooting from the field and 50% from three.

Virginia has cruised against NC State, California, and Stanford since they lost to the Hokies, but Louisville is going to be a different kind of test, even if they are a little beaten up. This is going to be a chance to show that Virginia is a legitimate threat to win the ACC.

The Cavaliers are 11-5 vs. the Cardinals in Louisville, including an 8-3 mark at KFC Yum! Center. UVA is 19-4 vs. Louisville since the Cardinals joined the ACC

UVA (14-2, 3-1 ACC) held Stanford without a field goal for 7:59 in the second half. Ebuka Okorie led Stanford (13-4, 2-2 ACC) with 14 points. UVA out-rebounded the Cardinal 37-33
