This season, the Virginia Cavaliers’ men’s basketball earned a No. 1 ranking for the first time in over 35 years, has earned the top-seed in the ACC tournament, and has clinched the ACC outright for the third time in five seasons. Head Coach Tony Bennett has taken his squad from unranked and picked to finish sixth in the ACC to the top of the polls and a shoo-in for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The Cavaliers’ success is thanks in part to the leadership of its trio of captains in Devon Hall, Isaiah Wilkins, and Jack Salt.
