Virginia Back in Atlantis, Onyenso Drafted | Virginia Cavalier Basketball News
Description
Virginia’s basketball team is returning to the Bahamas for the 2026 Battle 4 Atlantis, set for Thanksgiving week at Imperial Arena on Paradise Island—marking their second trip to the island hoops stage since their 2019 championship win. They’ll face stiff competition from Marquette, Texas A&M, and Xavier, with matchups still to be announced but guaranteed to be electric. Meanwhile, standout Ugonna Onyenso, who led the ACC in blocks and set a tournament record with 21 swats, was drafted 53rd overall by the Houston Rockets (expected to join the Pistons) becoming Virginia’s 11th draft pick since 2012—proof the program keeps churning out elite talent ready for the NBA.
