Virginia begins a tough three game stretch that will test their will and where they stand among the best teams in college basketball. The Hoos picked up up a win last time out against Stanford 70-55, and used its stingy defense to limit the Cardinals in the second half. Virginia is 14-2 on the year and will look to add a Quad 1 win to its resume and continue to build on a strong resume.
