Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s West Virginia vs Virginia game from Charlottesville online.

Surprise, surprise, the Virginia Cavaliers are one of the best teams in college basketball yet again. After earning another top seed in last year’s NCAA Tournament, this team is poised to make a deep run this year and prove the doubters wrong.

Virginia is ranked No. 6 in the AP Poll after a 7-0 start and they are without the guy who was leading the team in scoring — albeit it was only after one game — in Austin Nichols. The forward was dismissed from the team back in mid-November.

London Perrantes is the only player who’s currently averaging more than 10 points per game and he has a 40 percent three-point conversion rate. Despite the unbeaten record, this team still has some things to work out before it can be considered the ACC favorite.

West Virginia is clinging on to the last spot in the AP Top 25 after losing to Temple last week. The Mountaineers have the players to contend for a Big 12 title, but Virginia will be the toughest test of the season. If they can hang with the Cavaliers, that will prove quite a bit.

Looking to put together another win streak, West Virginia must rely on strong three-point shooting. The Mountaineers shoot nearly 40 percent from long-range and need to continue that trend against a tough Virginia defense.

Nathan Adrian, Esa Ahmad and Teyvon Myers all average in double figures and should be the trio that the Cavaliers should be watching for. Also, the Mountaineers need to win the battle on the boards and they’re usually a decent rebounding team.
