Notre Dame men's basketball has lost in all eight of the games it has played on Virginia's home court. Seven of those losses have come since the Irish joined the ACC in 2013.

The Irish (7-13, 2-13 ACC) will attempt to break that streak tonight at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers (15-5, 6-3) own Division I's longest home winning streak with 21 straight wins and 11 coming this season.

Notre Dame managed to beat Virginia in South Bend on Dec. 30 with a 76-54 rout. The Cavs are 5-2 in the new year. The Irish have lost six of seven since then.

Virginia is led by three double-digits scorers: 6-foot-3 guard Reece Beekman (12.9 points per game), 6-4 guard Isaac McKneely (11.6) and 6-8 guard Ryan Dunn (10.2). They combined for 35 points in the previous loss to the Irish: 15 for Beekman, 13 for Dunn and 7 for McKneely.

Carey Booth and J.R. Konieczny both scored 17 against Virginia.
