The Virginia Cavaliers did something never done before in the ACC this week as the Hoos picked up a record-setting fifth road win over a top-25 ranked team and jumped up one spot to No. 2 the latest AP Poll as a result. Gonzaga took over the No. 1 ranking from Duke, which slipped to No. 3 after their Zion-less loss to North Carolina on Wednesday. The Zags got 44 first place votes, the Cavaliers 15, Blue Devils three, and Kentucky got two.
Gonzaga’s conference is not as strong as the ACC — the second best team in the WCC is KenPom 34 St.
