This could be a turning point for Virginia basketball. The Cavs beat NC State on the road, but then again, the Wolfpack aren't that great this season. But to go into Clemson and knock off the Tigers 64-63, especially after being down 16 in the second half, is huge for the Cavaliers. Plus, J.R. Reynolds continued his hot play. One has to wonder if three huge games in a row is a fluke or if Reynolds is finally doing what everyone thought he could throughout his career.

Don't look now, but Duke is getting better. The Devils have won five in a row after beating Boston College 75-61. Of course, Thursday night at Virginia will be a test. The Cavs are very good at home.

Here's something I didn't expect to be writing on Jan. 28 - Virginia Tech is in first place in the ACC. After the Hokies beat Georgia Tech Sunday and BC fell to Duke, Virginia Tech took over first in the conference. Not bad for a team that lost to Western Michigan and Marshall earlier this season.
