Geaux 'Hoos: Virginia Braces for LSU Challenge


At 7 p.m. Eastern, UVa (12-1) meets LSU (10-3) in a non-conference game that matches two of the nation's stingier teams. The Cavaliers are giving up an average of 50.3 points per game. The Tigers are allowing 60.4.

This is the final non-conference game of the regular season for UVa, which opens its ACC schedule Saturday night against Miami at John Paul Jones Arena. The Wahoos, who defeated LSU in Charlottesville last season, are coming off a victory over Towson, which stayed close for most of the game before finally succumbing 57-50 at JPJ.

NOTE: The game will be broadcast by the Virginia Sports Radio Network. It will be televised by Comcast Sports Southeast and also carried on ESPN3.
