#1 Villanova 89, @Virginia 51
We travel to Charlottesville for a matchup against the struggling 3-6 Cavaliers, and only add to their struggles.
Charlie Lambert's 21-point, 5-rebound, 5-block effort earns him a PotG.
Sebastian Roberts adds another 20 point double-double (20p/12r).
Dane Barlow (13p/9a) and
Zayden Calhoun (13p/5a/3s) play well, and
Demetrius Reed (8r/2b/3s) makes his presence felt defensively.
Record: 11-0.

Player of Game: SG Zayden Calhoun (VLNV)
Zayden Calhoun shows us why he was one of the nation's top recruits as a high school senior, playing the best game of his young collegiate career.
It's the second-highest scoring game in school history, trailing only the 121 points we scored against Dartmouth in January 2036.
We're shooting .501/.414/.806 for the season, a pace I'd love to see us maintain (although I doubt we'll fare as well against Big East competition).
Record: 12-0.
