Virginia Duke's Shocking Book Bonus: The Unexpected Fortune That Changes Everything

Virginia is not a team that you’ve probably heard a lot about this season. They don’t have any dominant freshman that a lot of other squads have. They don’t have a ton of big-name wins over powerhouse schools. However, they do have a very consistent team that is currently 25-3 for the season, and 13-2 in the ACC. Part of the reason you haven’t heard much about them is that they’ve only beaten one ranked team. In fairness, they’ve only played two this season, with the win coming over Louisville and the loss coming against North Carolina. The other two losses that Virginia has taken were against Virginia Tech on the road and Butler on a neutral court. Virginia Tech isn’t exactly a great school, and Virginia seemed to run out of gas in the game, losing by ten in triple overtime, which seems difficult to do. The big note about this Virginia team is that they are not the same slow, methodical team that you’ve seen a few years ago. This team scores and can do it in bunches. They are averaging 82.3 points per game this season and shooting 47% from the field.
