Virginia extended their home winning streak to 22 games in a sound win against Notre Dame Wednesday night. The Cavaliers (16-5, 7-3 ACC) started hot from the field, as graduate forward Jake Groves matched the Fighting Irish (7-14, 2-8 ACC) in total three pointers — doing so with his five three pointers in the first half of play.
