Virginia Tech’s crushing of Virginia in Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon juggled the Top Five for the week. Surging ODU’s victory in Norfolk over VCU didn’t, but it certainly sent a message to the CAA that the Monarchs are a serious contender to win the tournament, Mar. 2-5, at the Richmond Coliseum.
The all-state team this season won’t be easy to pick, because there are so many good guards in the commonwealth and really no outstanding big men. That chore will come later. Anyway, here’s this week’s list of the five best men’s Division I basketball teams in Virginia:
The Virginia Top Five
No. 1: Va. Tech (17-7, 7-3 in ACC)
No. 2: UVa. (16-7, 8-3 in ACC)
No. 3: VCU (21-5, 13-2 in CAA)
No. 4: ODU (19-7, 12-3 in CAA)
No. 5: GMU (13-12, 7-8 in CAA)
