KEY GAME INFORMATION
VIRGINIA: Last season: 31-3, lost in first round of NCAA Tournament
Nickname: Cavaliers
Coach: Tony Bennett, 10th season
Conference: Atlantic Coast
Who's gone: G Devon Hall and F Isaiah Wilkins
Who's back: G Kyle Guy (14.1 ppg, 83 3-pointers) was the team's leading scorer and joins point guard Ty Jerome (10.6 ppg, 132 assists) as one of the nation's top backcourt tandems. F De'Andre Hunter returns from a late-season wrist injury as the ACC's top sixth man last year (9.2 ppg in just 19.9 mpg) and F Jack Salt anchors a defense that is always one of the nation's best. Fs Mamadi Diakite and Jay Huff have shown flashes of brilliance, but will need to offer more consistency at both ends.
Who's new: Alabama transfer Braxton Key could be a huge addition if he returns to his freshman year form when he averaged 12 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the Crimson Tide. Slowed by a knee injury, his numbers were cut almost in half, but at 6-foot-8, he should be a valued rebounding addition, too.
The Skinny: The Cavaliers may have topped their Ralph Sampson lost to Chaminade legacy last season by becoming the first No. 1 seed, and the overall No. 1 seed at that, to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Bennett has said it's important to remember the feeling, but also their historic success and move forward. Bennett's team have largely underachieved in the tournament, reaching just one Elite Eight and one Sweet 16, a lack of success that has to haunt on some level.
Expectations: The Cavaliers are ranked fifth to start the season and picked second behind Duke in the ACC. With much veteran experience, they should again be able to give the young but talented Blue Devils a run for the ACC regular season and tournament titles.
S CAROLINA: Last season: 17-16, missed the postseason after a surprise Final Four run in 2017.
Nickname: Gamecocks.
Coach: Frank Martin.
Conference: Southeastern.
Who's gone: Guard Frank Booker, guard Wesley Myers, guard David Beatty (transfer).
Who's back: Forward Chris Silva was the team's top scorer, rebounder and shot blocker. He was named the SEC co-defensive player of the year and made first-team all-SEC. Guard Hasani Gravett is the team's leading returner at 3.6 assists a game. Forward Malik Kotsar averaged eight points and four rebounds. Forward Justin Minaya is the son of former Major League GM Omar Minaya who is the team's top returning 3-point shooter.
Who's new: Gamecocks counting on Georgetown grad transfer Tre Campbell to take control of point guard. Guard Jermaine Cousinard is among six freshman on South Carolina's roster.
The Skinny: South Carolina had hoped to back up their Final Four season in 2017 with a strong follow-up. Martin hopes the Gamecocks, picked 11th in the SEC, can take a positive step forward back into the NCAA Tournament this year.
Expectations: South Carolina could struggle through another season of growth with nine sophomores or freshmen on the roster in what appears to be a stacked SEC.
PREVIEW
No. 5 Virginia faces first test after finals week at South Carolina
 

After a 10-day hiatus to complete exams before winter break, No. 5 Virginia returns to action Wednesday night to meet South Carolina for the 50th time in both school's history while rekindling an old ACC rivalry.

The Cavaliers, who jumped up one spot in the Associated Press Poll despite not playing a game last week, are looking to continue their undefeated run and are off to their best start (9-0) since going 19-0 in 2014-15.

"I know going in against a team like South Carolina that they'll be very physical and very aggressive," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said of South Carolina. "They really have good pressure defense and just two years removed from a Final Four."

South Carolina (4-5) has gotten off to a rough start so far this season just before SEC play begins, and seeing a top-five team in Virginia heading down to Columbia spells trouble. The Gamecocks have lost three of their last four games and are also coming off a lengthy break after losing their last game to Michigan 89-78 on Dec. 8.

"I saw a different gear from our guys," South Carolina coach Frank Martin said after the loss to the Wolverines. "I was real proud that they stepped up to the challenge of playing such a good team."

Despite the loss, the Gamecocks became the only team so far this season to shoot 45 percent or better against Michigan as South Carolina knocked down 52 percent of their shots in the game.

Martin's Gamecocks will now face another stiff defensive challenge against Virginia, which ranks second in the country in fewest points per game allowed (51.2).

In Virginia's 57-49 win over Virginia Commonwealth, the Rams shot just 29.5 percent against the Cavaliers' stingy defense.

One piece that will be missing from Virginia's equation on Wednesday night will be freshman guard Kihei Clark, who underwent surgery to repair a hairline fracture in a wrist. Clark played with the fracture against VCU and scored nine points while making all seven of his free throws. The timetable for his return is unknown.

Virginia boasts three players averaging in double figures, led by sophomore De'Andre Hunter, who is 14th in the ACC at 15.6 points per game. Hunter ranks third in the conference in field goal percentage (.573) and is joined by juniors Ty Jerome (13.7 ppg) and Kyle Guy (13.4 ppg) to pace the Cavaliers' offense.

The Gamecocks are led by guard A.J. Lawson, who is averaging a team-high 14.3 points per game, and Chris Silva gives South Carolina a physical post presence. Silva is averaging 11.1 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

Virginia holds a slim 25-24 lead in the series. The teams are meeting for the first time since the Gamecocks knocked off the Cavaliers 74-67 in the first round of the 2002 NIT.

South Carolina was a member of the ACC from 1953 to 1971 and is no stranger to battling highly ranked Virginia squads. The Cavaliers narrowly edged the Gamecocks 50-49 in January 1971 just months before South Carolina left the conference and became an independent.

"It will be a challenging environment and good for our team to go on the road and play in this setting," Bennett said.

The matchup on the hardwood comes just 10 days before the schools meet on the gridiron in Charlotte at the Belk Bowl.
