The Cardinals held the Cavaliers at arm's length for the majority of the evening, but ended the game on an 18-5 run to come away with a 70-50 victory. It not only snapped a nine-game losing streak to UVA, but secured their first ever win in John Paul Jones Arena, and their first win in Charlottesville since Feb. 17, 1990.

The Tigers (12-4, 4-1 ACC) were led by four double-digit scorers, including 10 off the bench from Jake Heidbreder (Floyds Knobs, Ind./Floyd Central). Chase Hunter (Atlanta, Ga./Westlake) led all Tiger scorers with 15.
