• The spread for the game is Virginia by 1.5 points.

• Junior forward Jordan Nwora had one of his more complete games in Sunday’s win with 22 points and a season high-tying 12 rebounds, and he ranks second in the ACC in scoring with 18 per game. Senior center Steven Enoch is second on the team’s scoring list at 9.4 after collecting eight points and 11 boards versus Virginia Tech. Fellow big man Malik Williams (8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds) missed the contest due to a sprained ankle and is doubtful to return Saturday.

• Forward Jay Huff’s play has been critical in surviving the last two nail-biters, as the 7-1 junior had 15 points, a career-high 10 blocks and nine rebounds against No. 11 Duke before notching 17 points and nine boards at Miami. Senior forward Mamadi Diakite added 14 points and 10 boards against the Hurricanes to push his averages to 13.6 and 6.7, respectively. Guards Kihei Clark (10.6 points) and Braxton Key (10.0) are key contributors, and junior Tomas Woldetensae had 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting in the first meeting with Louisville – an 80-73 win for the Cardinals at home.

• Louisville’s win over Virginia on Feb. 8 snapped a nine-game losing streak in the series.
