It takes a deep dive into the history books at Virginia and Virginia Tech to discover that the last time both teams had losing records when they squared off was in 1970.It’s happening again on Saturday as the Hokies (9-12, 4-6 ACC) travel to Charlottesville to face the Cavaliers (10-11, 3-7).The teams have played 81 times since that meeting in January 1970, when a 3-7 Virginia squad topped 3-5 Virginia Tech in Charlottesville, 81-71.Fifty-five years later, the teams are here again for the first of two meetings in a span of 15 days.Despite their lowly records, both are coming off road victories and have reason for optimism as they face the final five weeks of the regular season.Virginia has won two of its last three thanks largely to its 3-point marksmanship. In the three games, the Cavaliers have made 32 of 67 shots (47.8 percent) from deep.Isaac McKneely has hit half of those triples for Virginia in 31 attempts (51.6 percent), while Taine Murray has drilled 5 of 7 (71.4 percent).They were the standouts Wednesday in an 82-71 win at Miami. While McKneely had 26 points, Murray delivered career highs in both points (20) and assists (seven).
