The Virginia Cavaliers are NCAA Division I college basketball programs and members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In the spring of 2006, Virginia's long-time home court, University Hall, closed its doors for the last time while, across North Massie Road, the brand-new 14,593 capacity John Paul Jones Arena opened in the fall of 2006, and is the current venue for the men's and women's basketball teams.

About The Virginia Cavaliers
Their official uniform colors are orange and navy blue. At its recent height in the 1980s, the men's basketball team was better than perennial power Duke and second only to UNC in that decade's cumulative ACC standings. The 1990s and 2000s have seen a bit of a slide for the program to the middle of the pack in the conference, but the hiring of new coach Dave Leitao along with the 2006 opening of John Paul Jones Arena have led to a return to prominence, with the 2006-2007 team winning a share of the ACC regular season title and making it to the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament.
The new arena is one of the three largest on-campus facilities in the Atlantic Coast Conference, with the only bigger arenas belonging to universities with far greater student populations. The previous facility, University Hall, was the smallest in the ACC until the addition of Miami (FL) to the conference.
