Ooff. If you think things were bad for Virginia Tech Saturday, try being a Cavaliers fan. After beating Morgan State Wednesday, Virginia lost, 76-54, at Notre Dame. It was one of the most stunning results early in the season, to say the least.
Last week: No. 5
Games this week: Jan. 3 vs. Louisville, Jan. 6 at North Carolina State
9-3. . 448. ACC. . 1-0. 7. . .
Is the what we saw from the Demon Deacons Saturday against Virginia Tech the Demon Deacons we'll see all year long? Highly unlikely, but they are going to be a dangerous team if they can get the balanced scoring they got and with their pressure defense that caused havoc all afternoon for the Hokies.
Last week: No. 12
Games this week: Jan. 2 at Boston College, Jan. 6 vs. Miami
