Jan. 21: VA Top Five

As is the custom at SLANTblog, each Monday our Virginia Top Five for men’s college basketball is published. It attempts to rank what seems on that day to be the best five teams from among the 14 Division I programs in the Commonwealth.

This week VCU and Mason exchanged spots and Hampton replaced James Madison.
