The Commodores and Cavaliers have faced off 21 times in their history, with over half of those matchups having taken place before the 1930s. The Commodores hold a 12-7-2 lead across that span and have won 3 straight in the series.
The last matchup between Vanderbilt and Virginia took place just over 50 years ago on November 1, 1975. The win was the start of a 4-game win streak for the Commodores, which ended the season 7-4.
