What is that smell? Ah yes, Newark, New Jersey.

Virginia is favored by more than a touchdown in this power conference matchup between the Hoos and the Dawgs on the hardwood in the first round of the Roman Legends Classic.

In the meantime, here’s what we had for you:

1. The BIG PREVIEW to start you off, obviously.
2. Kadin Shedrick continues to show signs of huge potential.
3. Five takeaways from Friday’s win over Coppin State

And to add to that, here are the takeaways the media guide wanted you to know:
