Virginia basketball has reportedly added a 10th, and likely final, game to its non-conference slate for the 2022-2023 season. According to a report from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein on Thursday, UVA has scheduled a home game against Albany which will take place on December 28th at John Paul Jones Arena.
The Cavaliers and Great Danes have met only once before, an 84-57 victory for No. 4 seed Virginia over No. 13 seed Albany in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on March 16th, 2007. J.R. Reynolds scored 28 points and Sean Singletary had 23 points and 9 assists to lead Virginia to its first NCAA Tournament win since 1995.
The NCAA permits Division I basketball teams to schedule up to 31 regular season games. With Albany on the schedule, UVA now has 10 non-conference matchups set and 30 total regular season games finalized. Virginia could technically schedule another game, but the Cavaliers have traditionally played 30 regular season games each year.
The Cavaliers will host NC Central (November 7th), Northern Iowa (November 14th), Maryland Eastern-Shore (November 25th), James Madison (December 6th), ,Houston (December 17th), Albany (December 28th), and Monmouth (Date TBA) at John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia is on the road for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this year and will travel to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan on November 29th. UVA will participate in the Roman Main Event in Las Vegas on November 18th and 20th along with Illinois, UCLA and Baylor. The Cavaliers will face two of those three teams during the tournament with those matchups to be released at a later date.
