Result: Campbell 0, Virginia 0 | 20:00 1H

Virginia has announced its starting lineup for today's season opener against Campbell:
-Andrew Rohde
-Isaac McKneely
-TJ Power
-Elijah Saunders
-Blake Buchanan

Interesting that the Cavaliers are using Rohde as their starting point guard and not Dai Dai Ames.

A note on player availability before the game for Virginia: It appears that redshirt freshman Christian Bliss will not play in tonight's season opener against Campbell. Bliss is wearing sweatpants, along with Vanderbilt transfer Carter Lang and sophomore guard Elijah Gertrude, who, as previously announced, will miss the entire season due to a knee injury suffered in a scooter accident in April. We are not sure if Bliss or Lang suffered injuries that caused them to be unavailable for this game, but they will not be on the court for UVA in today's game. It's up to Dai Dai Ames and Andrew Rohde to take over the point guard duties for Virginia against Campbell.
