A win is a win is a win, and this is especially sweet as the Cavaliers got swept by the Mustangs of SMU last season.  There were no heroics for Boopie Miller, author of last year’s defeat at the JPJ and last week’s dagger to the hearts of Virginia Tech fans.

It's Virginia, not North Carolina, that looks like the unquestioned second-best team in the ACC, and it's in the range of potential outcomes that Virginia, not big, bad Duke, has the best chance to make a run in the NCAA Tournament.

Like we told you last week, UVA Athletics is going to name the court at JPJ for former hoops coach Tony Bennett at the Jan. 24 UNC game.

Virginia picked up its first AP Top 25 win of the season against Louisville on the road at the Yum Center. It was a game they started on a 14-0 run and sent a statement to the Cardinals. The Hoos are looking to prove again that they are one of the top teams in the NCAA and the ACC.
