With No. 3 NC State’s 77-67 victory on Monday night over No. 15 Louisville, the No. 16 Hokies stand alone at the top of the ACC standings with seven regular-season games remaining.
The ACC has eight teams that are fewer than three games behind Virginia Tech (18-4, 9-2). Five of those squads feature in the latest AP Top 25 while the other three received votes:
- 3 NC State (11 in NET rankings)
- 12 Notre Dame (8)
- 15 Louisville (20)
- 16 Virginia Tech (18)
- 23 Syracuse (40)
- RV North Carolina (29)
- RV Florida State (43)
- RV Duke (23)
