Virginia basketball prepares for Bucknell following win over Arkansas

The Virginia Cavaliers, currently ranked No. 6, are set to host the Bucknell Bison on Tuesday night at JPJ. This matchup follows Virginia’s recent victory against Arkansas, a game that featured notable performances from 2027 NBA Draft prospects.

In that contest, Virginia sophomore Johann Grunloh recorded 15 points, four rebounds, and five blocks. Arkansas players including Jordan Smith Jr., Miikka Muurinen, Billy Richmond III, and Abdou Toure also saw action.

Bucknell enters the game with a KenPom ranking of 344th and has suffered two significant losses to start the season against Maryland and Old Dominion. The Bison are led by head coach John Griffin and guard Alexander Pachucki.
