The Virginia Cavaliers are quickly approaching the end of their regular season, and what a season it has been.

UVA Faces Brutal Stretch This Week

The Cavaliers have undoubtedly played a phenomenal season thus far, but the hardest part has yet to come. Defeating the Hurricanes over the weekend was a major step in the right direction, but now, the Hoos are gearing up to face NC State, soon followed by Duke—the toughest matchup on their schedule.

On Tuesday, the Cavaliers will welcome the Wolfpack to Charlottesville, Va., for tipoff, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. However, this weekend, UVA will be on the road to play the Blue Devils in Durham, N.C., at 12 p.m. ET. Not only is Duke an incredibly daunting opponent to take on, but being on the road will add to an already challenging situation.

Losing to either of these teams will throw the Cavaliers off track and disrupt their chances of clinching the title. Virginia will either sink or swim this week—which will they choose?
