Elijah Saunders - Quality line in defeat Saunders had 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 81-67 loss to Louisville.
Impact It was the second double-double of both the season and league play for Saunders, who also put up his best scoring total of the 2025 calendar year. While Virginia has kept its painstakingly slow pace even after the departure of Tony Bennett, Saunders has still managed to be a productive fantasy asset, as he leads the team in scoring (12.1 ppg) and rebounding (5.4 rpg) through 18 games. The Cavaliers are on the outside looking in with respect to a potential NCAA Tournament berth, however, as they've lost five in a row and are off to a 1-6 start to ACC play.

Impact The Cavaliers looked overmatched Saturday, but McKneely delivered a solid showing on both ends of the court and thrived in the scoring department.

Prior to this game, he was averaging 8.8 points per game while shooting 33.9 percent from the floor over his previous six contests.

Cofie enjoyed a strong start to the campaign with double-digit points in his first three outings, but he's done it just three times in his last 12 outings since then.

Christian Bliss - Still considers himself unhealthy Bliss (foot) has the opportunity to return to practice and work his way back into games, but the guard reportedly doesn't feel good enough yet to return, Preston Willet of The Sabr...
Impact This is an interesting situation. Bliss, a freshman from Queens, New York, has yet to play this season. His head coach Ron Sanchez stressed to reporters that his absence from practice is currently a personal decision, as he's apparently be given the opportunity to return but has made the personal choice not to. It's unclear why exactly that's the case; if Bliss' injury indeed requires more downtime or if there's a personal matter he needs to work through. Either way, Bliss seems a ways away from making his collegiate debut.

Dai Dai Ames - Comes off bench Saturday Ames (ankle) supplied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 10 minutes during Saturday's 70-50 loss to Louisville.
Impact Ames was deemed a game-time decision leading up this contest as he dealt with an ankle injury but was able to give it a go. The sophomore guard logged 10 minutes and went scoreless for the first time this season. He will look to bounce back during Wednesday's meeting with California.

Dai Dai Ames - Not starting Saturday Ames is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Louisville and is suspected to have re-injured his ankle, Zach Carey reports.
Impact There's no certainty on whether Ames is actually injured, but he logged nine minutes in the Cavaliers' most recent appearance. Taine Murray is expected to see most of the minutes at point guard if Ames is forced to miss time.
