• The line for this game is Virginia by 3 points.

• Fourth-ranked Virginia takes its pack-line defense on the road as it visits undefeated Maryland on Wednesday evening as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Cavaliers are also perfect through six games and most recently earned a hard-fought 53-46 win over No. 22 Wisconsin on Friday to win the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. The Cavaliers were able to win a Thanksgiving tournament for the sixth season in a row after building a 33-18 lead at the break and then holding on despite shooting just 26 percent in the second half. De’Andre Hunter earned MVP honors and was also named ACC Player of the Week after averaging 19.3 points in the Bahamas, including a 20-point, nine-rebound performance against the Badgers.

• Maryland stayed perfect on the season in dominant fashion with a 104-67 rout of previously unbeaten Marshall on Friday as Anthony Cowan Jr. poured in 26 points. “I’ll state the obvious: This is the best we played this year. [Marshall] was a really good offensive team that we guarded really well. And when you make shots, everything looks better,” coach Mark Turgeon told reporters after the game.

• Virginia’s starters were put to the test against Wisconsin as only center Jack Salt played less than 30 minutes in a game where coach Tony Bennett used just two players off the bench. Junior guard Ty Jerome added 11 points, four rebounds and five assists and is second to Hunter in Cavaliers scoring with 14 points per game. Hunter, a 6-foot-7 sophomore guard who is in the conversation to be a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, was eased back into things for the first three games as he recovered from a wrist injury suffered near the end of last season but has averaged over 36 minutes in his last three games.

• The Terrapins shot 57 percent from the field, including 9-of-16 from the 3-point line, and held a 52-30 rebounding advantage over the Thundering Herd. Cowan, a junior guard, leads the team in scoring at 16.8 points per game and is also contributing with five rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals. Bruno Fernando, second in team scoring at 16.2 points and the leading rebounder at 9.3 per game, had 18 points and 16 boards against Marshall for his second double-double of the season.

• Maryland is averaging 84.8 points per game while Virginia is allowing just 49.3.

• In their first five games, the Terrapins shot just 27 percent from beyond the arc before breaking out against Marshall.

• Virginia has held its opponent below 20 points in the first half in four of the six games this season.
