Finally, exam break is over the HOOS are back in action tonight against Cleveland State! Vegas expects this to be a blowout in favor of the Hoos, but coming off the long break, and with the return of Darion Atkins from an injury, you just never know what will happen. Thankfully, Bennett's fundamentals-first basketball should be so ingrained that it shouldn't take long to shake off any rust.

UVA is seeking its first 10-0 start since the 2000-2001 season. The Hoos have held their opponents under 70 for a nation-leading 15 straight games.

And remember, if Virginia holds them to under 50 tonight, those of us who made the pledge will be donating to the One Love Foundation! Read more about the Pack Line Pledge here.
