As mentioned, the Dukes lost their undefeated record against the Tar Heels by falling 80-64. In that game they did not play so well, although it was against one of the best teams in the country. Their figures did not come out on a good day, and they were dried up by North Carolina’s talent.
Mentally, they managed to shake off the loss and won the next two games, but surprisingly fell against Valparaiso 81-79 in overtime. They had not budgeted for that loss, and it took a deep toll on the team’s morale.
Terrence Edwards is the one who in recent games has had the team on his shoulder. He recorded 21 points against Valparaiso in one of his best games of the season, also contributing with rebounds and assists.
Betting on the Virginia Cavaliers
- Season record: 7-0

Undefeated and playing amazing: that’s the team’s status. So are the Cavaliers, who have 7 wins, which could have been 8 if the game against Northern Iowa had not been cancelled after an unfortunate event that rocked the University of Virginia.
Virginia’s most attention-grabbing win came against Illinois, which is one of the nation’s top teams. They won 70-61, and, in that game, Reece Beekman played at a high level, recording 17 points and 3 assists.
Virginia is one of the strongest teams in the country and the game against James Madison will serve as a tune-up because next is a game against Houston that will be their true litmus test.
JefeBet Prediction
The Cavaliers are on a higher level and should have no problem beating James Madison, which unfortunately does not have the personnel to beat such a powerful team, and their loss to North Carolina proves it.
They also play in Virginia, where they are undefeated and the Dukes, although they have won 2 away, lost one and that was against the Tar Heels. The evidence leads us to believe that exactly the same thing will happen against the Cavaliers.
