Virginia and Cal have met twice before, playing a home and home series in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 seasons. Both games were thrillers, with the first going to overtime, and the two games were decided by a combined five points.

In the first meeting in Charlottesville, Malcolm Brogdon stripped the ball from Jaylen Brown at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime and then London Perrantes hit a three-pointer with just seconds to go to give the Cavaliers a dramatic victory. In the rematch in Berkeley the following year, Perrantes scored 14 points and Kyle Guy, now serving on the UVA coaching staff, scored 17 points off the bench to help Virginia earn a 56-52 road win at Cal.
