Virginia will play its final non-conference game of the 2024-2025 regular season when American visits John Paul Jones Arena on Sunday afternoon. Both teams are coming off of a loss, as American was blown out by St. Joseph's on Wednesday, the same night that the Cavaliers suffered a hard-fought 64-62 defeat to No. 21 Memphis in Charlottesville.

UVA leads American 5-1 in the all-time series that dates back to February 10th, 1938. All five of Virginia's wins against American have come in Charlottesville, while the Eagles defeated the Cavaliers in their lone road trip to Washington, D.C., which occurred on February 3rd, 1951. The most recent meeting between these two programs, a 91-70 victory for Virginia on December 28th, 2006, took place in the first season the Cavaliers played at John Paul Jones Arena. Sean Singletary (33 points) and J.R. Reynolds (26 points) combine to score 59 points in that game. This is the second Patriot League opponent UVA has faced this season, having previously defeated Holy Cross 67-41 on November 29th. Virginia is 39-35 all-time against current members of the Patriot League.
