Due to inclement weather on the east coast -- or just your average winter day in Syracuse -- the Syracuse Orange traveled down to Virginia this morning to take on the Cavaliers. The game will air on ESPN2 and ESPN3 at 7 p.m.
Expect this to be a low scoring game as Virginia plays at a slow pace and is a top ten defensive team in the country; the O/U is at 125.5 with Virginia being a 9.5 point favorite.

While the Orange warm up, be sure to check the following:
- TNIAAM Virginia vs Syracuse Predictions & Poll
- Why Have the Orange Struggled Against Virginia?
- Stats to Know About Virginia
- Also head over to out friends at Streaking The Lawn for their preview.
We'll see if the ACC's two leaders in the steals category -- Michael Gbinije and Trevor Cooney -- can force a Virginia team that values the basketball to turn the ball over.
