Puts up 12 points with 14 boards Gardner finished with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 52-49 loss to James Madison.
Impact Gardner recorded an impressive double-double, and this was the fourth time he accomplishes this goal in the current campaign. The senior big man is averaging 13.9 points and 8.5 boards per game, establishing himself as one of the best Virginia players this season.

Scores game-high 15 points Gardner had 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 57-56 victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Gardner has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games and continues to settle as Virginia's main offensive threat. In fact, he has scored 10 or more points in all but two of his appearances to date. He is averaging 14.1 points per game, but surprisingly, that figure would be a career-worst mark for him given he put up 18.3 points per game in 2020-21.

Leads UVA to victory Gardner registered 21 points (8-9 FG, 5-5 FT) and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 58-40 win over Providence.
Impact Gardner was Virginia's most reliable scoring weapon and put up more than a third of the team's total-point haul while missing just one shot from the field. While he's not going to display these levels of efficiency on a regular basis, it's worth mentioning him as one of the Cavaliers' best players through the first weeks of the campaign. He's averaging 14.3 points and 8.3 rebounds so far this season.

Decent game against Georgia Gardner ended Monday's 65-55 victory over Georgia with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds across 27 minutes.
Impact Gardner has scored in double digits in all but one of his five appearances to date, and he has also pulled down six or more rebounds in four of those games. His contributions have been steady and is firmly settled as the team's second-best scoring threat behind Armaan Franklin.

Records double-double Gardner totaled 14 points (4-9 FG, 6-10 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 68-52 victory over Coppin State.
Impact Gardner carried Virginia on offense and now he has scored in double digits in three of his last first four games of the campaign. This was also his second double-double of the campaign, and he continues to be one of the best players for the Cavaliers on both sides of the ball.

Scores 18 points again Gardner finished Friday's 73-52 win over Radford with 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.
Impact Gardner ended just three rebounds shy of opening the season with back-to-back double-doubles, but it's worth noting he only logged 25 minutes in this one -- compared to 33 in the season opener. Gardner has averaged over 18.0 points per game in each of his last two seasons, and he's widely expected to be Virginia's go-to player on offense in most games.

Double-doubles in season opener Gardner ended Tuesday's 66-58 loss to Navy with 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes.
Impact Gardner was the best player for Virginia in the season opener, though that might not say much given how bad the team struggled on both ends of the court. He averaged over 18.0 points per game in each of his last two seasons with East Carolina, and he figures to have a big role with the Cavaliers as well.
