The No. 4 Virginia Cavaliers completed their non-conference schedule with 12 wins in 12 tries. That’s perfect. Now, they get into conference play, which will be much tougher. Right now on KenPom, there are six ACC teams in the top 25 and nine in the top 50. In all, 11 of 18 conference games are considered “Tier A” games by KenPom. That’s not going to be easy.
Things begin with Florida State coming to town on Saturday afternoon. The Seminoles are one of those top 25 teams, currently ranking 18th in KenPom and 9th in the AP Poll.
