Expectations were high for the Virginia Cavaliers for their matchup against Boston College over the weekend, but despite their 73-66 victory, disappointment filled the air—allowing such close scores is a major risk for the Cavaliers.

However, a win is a win when it comes to college basketball; Virginia's overall record was boosted to 18-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play. Now that weekend games are in the books, how are the ACC standings shaping up heading into this week?

Virginia's next matchup is scheduled for Jan. 3 against Pittsburgh, and each game is only going to grow more intense. A few of their most grueling matchups will be against Miami, NC State and Duke later in February, one right after another.

The outcome of this month will be telling—does UVA truly have what it takes to compete in the long run this year, or will they start to fall?
