The Virginia basketball team made its return to the John Paul Jones Arena floor this past weekend, playing in front of the home fans for the first time since Senior Day against Louisville back in 2020. With the roster divided into two teams for the Blue-White scrimmage, the Cavaliers played for approximately 30 minutes in separate segments. Some players flipped teams approximately halfway through the event.
