Virginia won at Virginia Tech on Monday night to improve to 23-2 on the season with both losses coming to Duke. And wouldn't it be something if the Cavaliers went 0-2 against the Blue Devils but still won at least a share of the ACC regular-season title? It could reasonably happen. All it would require is Virginia winning its five remaining regular-season games -- it will be favored to win each, for what it's worth -- and Duke losing once more, perhaps at North Carolina next month. If things go down that way, Tony Bennett would secure at least a share of the ACC regular-season title for the fourth time in the past six seasons.
Virginia is No. 3 in Tuesday morning's updated Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings. Gonzaga remains No. 1 for the third consecutive day. (The Zags' next game is Thursday against Pepperdine.) And Duke is in between Gonzaga and Virginia, at No. 2, heading into Wednesday night's game with No. 7 North Carolina that'll be played inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
