12. Virginia Cavaliers

Previous Ranking: 13

Record: 16-4 (6-2 ACC)

Virginia nearly pulled off the road upset at Villanova, but ultimately fell late. They did beat Notre Dame on the road, however, to climb a half-game ahead of Florida State for second place in the ACC. The Cavs host Virginia Tech next.

Star London Perrantes has been up-and-down in the team’s past few games. He scored 22 against the Fighting Irish but struggled to just four points on 2-of-11 shooting against Nova. Perrantes is key to the team’s success so he has to continue to lead from the front. Some combination of Marial Shayok, Devon Hall or Isaiah Wilkins also has to consistently step up and support the senior point guard.
