🔼 Almost Time For Tipoff. Chance Mallory grew up going to University of Virginia basketball games at John Paul Jones Arena. Now, as a Cavalier, the 5-foot-10 freshman is about to play in front of fans at JPJ for the first time.

It won’t count as an official game. Those begin on Nov. 3 for UVA, which hosts Rider that night. But Mallory, a graduate of nearby St. Anne’s-Belfield School, is looking forward to Virginia’s second and final preseason exhibition. At 7 p.m. Friday, UVA hosts Villanova at JPJ.

🔼 Coaching ‘Em Up. Fralin Family Head Football Coach Tony Elliott was named to Bobby Dodd Trophy midseason watch list on Wednesday!

Elliott is among 24 coaches on featured on the list and one of three from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

🔼 Seminole Showdown. No. 3 Virginia women’s soccer begins its three-match homestand to end the regular season today, hosting No. 11 Florida State at 6 p.m. at Klöckner Stadium.

With three matches left until postseason play, the Hoos and Seminoles are tied in the ACC standings with 14 points.

🔼 Running At Home. The University of Virginia is set to host the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Southeast Regional Cross Country Championships on Friday, Nov. 14 at Panorama Farms!
