UVA basketball climbs to No. 6 in AP Poll
The ’Hoos enter the top six after a convincing win over Arkansas.
The Virginia Cavaliers soared to No. 6 in the latest AP Poll following a convincing 19-point victory over No. 12 Arkansas in Washington, D.C. on November 8. The win, during which Johann Grünloh contributed 15 points, five blocks, four rebounds, and two assists, propelled UVA up three spots from their previous ranking. This marks the Cavaliers' highest position in the AP Poll since February 2023, when they were ranked 6th for the final week of the 2022-23 season.
Virginia's ascent to the top six comes on the heels of their dominant performance against Arkansas, who dropped to No. 19 in the rankings. With three ACC teams currently ranked—Duke, Virginia, Louisville, and Miami—the Blue Devils are set to face Michigan State in the Champions Classic, while UVA will take on Bucknell at home and travel to Maryland for a game against the Terrapins.
