The last months of 2024 were mired in disappointment for Virginia women’s basketball. Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s bunch was known for lackluster shooting on the offensive end, pedestrian defense and a knack for losing in frustrating ways such as a 41-point defeat or falling to mid-major programs. What’s worse, the Cavaliers (9-6, 1-2 ACC) entered the new year at 17th in the ACC.

After a 6-1 start, women’s basketball appeared to be on track to have a promising season. The lone loss was a smackdown at No. 10 Oklahoma, and losing to a top-10 SEC team on the road is not cause for concern. But over the past three weeks, the Cavaliers have gone from hoping to make the NCAA Tournament to barely avoiding last place in the ACC. Frankly, for Virginia women’s basketball, the great big problem is simple. This team cannot shoot the long ball whatsoever — and as a result, is on a collision course to a complete failure of a season.
