How to watch Virginia vs. North Carolina Central basketball game
The #18 Virginia Cavaliers and the North Carolina Central Eagles will face off at 9 p.m. ET November 7th at John Paul Jones Arena to kick off their 2022 seasons. Virginia ended up 21-14 last season and got to the NIT quarterfinals before being knocked out by the St. Bonaventure Bonnies 52-51. Meanwhile, last year was nothing to brag about for North Carolina Central (15-15), so the squad is looking forward to a new start.
A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Cavaliers were 10th best in turnovers per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season with only 9.7 on average. But the Eagles ranked 11th in college basketball in takeaways, closing the year with 16.9 on average (top 3%). These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
Virginia has the odds in their favor, so they’ll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
