Do you remember when Clemson was leading the ACC in scoring defense and Virginia dropped 85 on them? That was fun. Do you remember when Syracuse was leading the ACC in scoring and Virginia held them to 58? That was fun too.
Virginia gets back to it Saturday against Virginia Tech, who are currently ranked 19th in the nation in the coaches poll. While they are the third highest ranked ACC team (Florida State is 16th) in the polls, they are seventh in the ACC on KenPom’s rankings (45th overall). Yes, they beat Duke and Villanova, but they were also blown out by Syracuse and Penn State.
