I love winning…It’s, like, better than losing.
The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team comes into this intrastate ACC matchup riding a three game winning streak. On the other hand, the Virginia Tech Hokies enter this matchup on a five game losing streak. We will see if it makes a difference, if momentum from game-to-game is actually a thing.
The Hokies entered the season ranked 20th on KenPom. They opened the season 11-1, with wins over Penn State and UNC. At that point, the Hokies had fallen to 29th on KenPom. This was due to a loss to College of Charleston (currently 18-1 and ranked), but also to a few closer-than-expected games against mediocre teams.
