Winners of eight in a row, Virginia Basketball is clearly the hottest team in the ACC. The second hottest team may be the Pitt Panthers, who’ve jumped 17 spots in KenPom’s rankings in a month. That includes wins at Duke, Georgia Tech and NC State (along with a loss at Miami). They’ve won three in a row, and are coming off that road win against NC State, way back on Wednesday. A week off isn’t always welcome when you’re rolling along.
Virginia’s improvement has largely come on the road, as the team was already playing very well at home…most of the time.
