13. Virginia Cavaliers

Previous Ranking: 19

Record: 15-3 (5-2 ACC)

Virginia is on a four-game winning streak after beating Boston College and Georgia Tech last week, but get a stiffer test when the travel to Notre Dame Tuesday.

Junior Marial Shayok had himself a game against the Yellow Jackets with a season-high 19 points and four boards. His scoring output helped star London Perrantes who had just 11. Fellow perimeter player Devon Hall chipped in with 10. The Cavalier guards have been essential in keeping the team afloat as their interior play doesn’t have the constant threat it did before Austin Nichols was dismissed from the team.
