The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball program represents the University of Virginia in the Atlantic Coast Conference in Division I of the NCAA. The team is coached by Tony Bennett. Since 2006 the team has played at John Paul Jones Arena, an on-campus arena on the North Grounds of the university, in front of 14,593. A consistent winner in the early years of college basketball under the tutelage of Pop Lannigan (254–95 from 1905 to 1929), the Cavalier program lay mostly dormant between 1930 and 1975 before Terry Holland arrived to win their first ACC Championship and earn their first NCAA Tournament appearance in his second year. UVA has since finished first in the ACC basketball standings nine times, third best all-time. They have won the ACC Tournament three times.

This Virginia team featured a vaunted Bennett defense along with the three-pronged offensive attack of De’Andre Hunter, Kyle Guy, and Ty Jerome. The Cavaliers began and ended the season ranked in the AP Top 5 with a 28–2 regular season. One noteworthy event along the way was when No. 4 Virginia soundly defeated No. 9 Virginia Tech 81–59 after Buzz Williams had turned that squad into the first AP Top Ten Hokie team Virginia had ever faced in history. In the ACC Tournament, Virginia defeated bubble team NC State 76–56 before being physically overpowered by a very tall Florida State team, 69–59. This was only the third loss of the year after two defeats to Zion Williamson and his Duke squad featuring several one-and-done rule NBA lottery picks. The two UVA–Duke matchups were the most watched nationwide college basketball games of the regular season with 3.8 million and 3.3 million viewers for their games in Durham and Charlottesville respectively.[14] Entering the NCAA Tournament, Duke was then the number one overall seed and placed in the East regional while ACC teams Virginia and North Carolina also received No. 1 seeds in their respective South and Midwest regions. The only No. 1 seed from outside the ACC was Gonzaga in the West, later to be defeated by Texas Tech in the Elite Eight.
