Doug Gottlieb says the Virginia Cavaliers should be the No. 1 team in college basketball right now.
Gottlieb explains that Virginia is tops in points per game allowed and second in field goal percentage defense. He adds that they have wins at VCU, Maryland and Notre Dame.
Meanwhile, Kentucky has wins over Kansas, Texas, North Carolina and Providence. The Wildcats also have a road win at Louisville.
Both teams have ugly double overtime wins in conference road games against lesser teams. Kentucky’s came yesterday at Texas A&M. Virginia squeaked out a double overtime win at Miami (FL), which lost at home to Eastern Kentucky University earlier this season.
#UVA #1 in PPG allowed #2 in FG% defense – wins at VCU, Maryland, Notre Dame – that is why I said they are the best team right now

Kentucky is 15-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play. Virginia is 15-0 and 3-0 in the ACC.
Who should be No. 1?
