ACC Basketball Power Rankings: Virginia, NC State rise & Virginia Tech, Syracuse fall
By Scott Roche
The Blue Devils put together an impressive defensive performance at Virginia Tech last Monday, but they allowed 93 points at North Carolina in a loss that head coach Jon Scheyer was not thrilled with. They have a pair of get-back-on-track home games this week.
Last week: No. 2
Games this week: Feb. 7 vs. Notre Dame, Feb. 10 vs. Boston College
I wasn't kidding last week when I said here come the Cavaliers. Virginia ran their winning streak to six games with an impressive road win at Clemson Saturday by a point. Jordan Minor continues to be big on both ends of the floor for the Cavaliers. This is a big week in Charlottesville with two final conference games.
Last week: No. 3
Games this week: Feb. 5 vs. Miami, Feb. 10 at Florida State
Yup, they lost at Georgia Tech, go figure, but they sent a message to the rest of the ACC with an impressive performance against Duke that it's going a lot to unseat them at the top. Right now, it's the Tar Heels and then everyone else.
Last week: No. 1
Games this week: Feb. 6 vs. Clemson, Feb. 10 at Miami
