After dispatching Wake Forest 59-49 on Sunday night for a 10th straight win, No. 2 Virginia returns home to face No. 18 Clemson on Tuesday night in a pivotal Atlantic Coast Conference showdown.
Virginia (18-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) currently holds a two-game lead over Clemson (16-3, 5-2) and owns a six-game winning streak over the Tigers.
Clemson will be the first of two straight ranked opponents the Cavaliers will face ahead of their Saturday showdown with No. 4 Duke.
The Cavaliers are perfect at John Paul Jones Arena this season (12-0) and will face a Clemson squad that wrapped up the weekend with a positive, but a big negative.
