Virginia is 38-42 all-time in ACC Tournament games, reaching the Championship Game six times and winning the tournament title three times (1990, 1992, 1993). The ACC Tournament hasn't been kind to the Cavaliers recently, though, as their last win at the ACC Tournament came back in 2019 and they are currently on a five-game losing streak in ACC Tournament games. Virginia played in the first round in each of the last three ACC Tournaments, losing to Wake Forest in each of those three games. At the very least, the Cavaliers avoided what appeared to be a cursed first round matchup with the Demon Deacons and have drawn Pittsburgh instead.

In the regular season meeting with the Panthers, which took place just a couple of weeks ago on February 16th, Virginia left Pittsburgh with an 80-67 road win. Kymora Johnson joined Dawn Staley as the only Cavaliers in program history to record a triple-double, finishing with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Latasha Lattimore had a career-high 30 points to go along with 11 rebounds as Johnson and Lattimore both delivered incredible individual performances to lead the Hoos to a big road win.

Including that game, Virginia has won four of its last five games and three in a row to end the regular season, most recently taking down No. 8 North Carolina 78-75 in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels led that game by as many as 18 points, but the Cavaliers rallied in the second half and used a 14-5 closing run to pick up their first road win over UNC since 2001, snapping a 16-game losing streak in Chapel Hill. Virginia has been excellent on the road since the calendar flipped to February, finishing the regular season winning its last four road games.

Now, Virginia will look to keep that momentum going by beating Pitt in the first round on Wednesday and earning the program's first ACC Tournament win since 2019.
