Remember last week when I noted that Virginia's undefeated record and lofty No. 3 ranking in the polls were being viewed with some degree of skepticism?

Well, in the week since that post, the Cavaliers have managed to both remain undefeated and support the skeptics.

First, Tony Bennett's team trailed Davidson by as many as 14 points before prevailing at home 83-72. Then the Hoos blew an 18-point halftime lead before somehow escaping with an 89-80 win in double overtime at Miami.

Leave your stereotypes at the door: Virginia is winning with offense

As those final scores would indicate, these are not defensive slugfests that Bennett's 13-0 team is winning. Not only has Virginia scored 1.25 points per possession during the past two games, but Virginia has had to score 1.25 points per possession, or something close to it. Otherwise you're looking at a Cavaliers team that's 11-2 and ranked somewhere down in the teens.
