10: Obviously, the number of blocks recorded by Virginia’s Jay Huff. The most at UVA since Ralph Sampson had 10 in a game in 1979. Tied for second-most in a single game in UVA history. (Ralph had 12 in a game, also in 1979.) Most by an ACC player since 2014. Third ACC player in 20 players with 10 blocks in a game. First player in 20 years with 10 blocks in a game against a Top 10 team.

1-8, 4-6, 3-6, 2-9, 5-5: The ACC records of Virginia Tech, Syracuse, N.C. State, Pitt and Clemson since the weekend of Jan. 25-26. Tech and N.C. State (at 5-3) were each a game ahead of Virginia (4-4) in the ACC entering that weekend. Syracuse (6-3) was a game and a half ahead of Virginia. Pitt (4-4) and Clemson (4-4) were tied with Virginia entering that weekend’s games.
