UPSET ALERT
Saint Joseph’s vs. Virginia
What has ailed Virginia intermittently all season, even before the Cavaliers lost four in a row for the first time since 2013? An inconsistent defense.
So, to have the Hawks (12-3), winners of the Atlantic 10, roll into Charlottesville with three 30-goal scorers (Levi Anderson, Matt Bohmer and Carter Page) and an offense littered with slick sticks? It’s probably not an ideal setup for Lars Tiffany’s team.
Saint Joseph’s, with much of the same cast of characters, created all kinds of problems in an 18-16 loss at Yale in its NCAA tournament debut two years ago. The Hawks weren’t far away from pulling a surprise that day and are plenty capable of finishing the job on Saturday.
