Whatever you do, don’t look ahead on the Virginia basketball schedule around Tony Bennett. No. 3 Virginia and No. 2 Duke are set to clash again on February 9th, a little under a month after the Blue Devils held on for a two-point win over the Cavaliers at Cameron Indoor in their first meeting.
Expectations and hype are already starting to build, even though Virginia still has Miami (2/2) and Duke still has St. John’s (2/2) and Boston College (2/5) to play before the two meet. The game has implications for ACC standings, national polls, and NCAA tournament seeding, but is also just a matchup of two of the best—if not the two best—teams in the country.
