Although the nail-biter wins over Miami and Louisville were exciting and fun, there’s a different joy that comes with an easy win. The Virginia Cavaliers got that easy win last week, and were able to breathe a little easier. Virginia had won six straight against Duke, including four straight at home.
They remain home this week to face Georgia Tech. The Hoos have won three straight at home over the Ramblin’ Wreck, but this year’s Jackets are 3-3 (2-2) and coming off a bye week. The Jackets have lost at home to a MAC school, crushed UNC at home, been crushed by Pitt at home and then won a squeaker on the road over Duke.
