Virginia vs. Virginia Tech is shaping up to be a chess match on the hardwood, with both teams stacked with talent and grit. Point guard battle: Ben Hammond edges Chance Mallory, but Mallory’s breakout could flip the script. Wing duel: Jurian Dixon vs. Isaiah Elohim is a toss-up, with Dixon’s scoring edge tipping it slightly his way. Small forward: Sam Lewis holds a slight advantage over Jaylen Curry thanks to consistency. Frontcourt fireworks: Thijs De Ridder dominates the paint against Amani Hansberry, while Virginia’s size advantage at center with Johann Grunloh over Miles Heide could be decisive. Expect a close, hard-fought game — Virginia’s depth and continuity should win out, but don’t bet on a blowout. This one’s must-watch TV.
