The five on five series begins with Duke, which beat Virginia in the 2026 ACC Tournament Championship Game and went on to lose to UConn in the Elite Eight. This time around, Virginia and Duke play twice during the regular season — one home and one away — and always have a chance to meet in the ACC Tournament. However, Sarr’s elite defense must be accounted for (2025-26 ACC All-Defensive Team). Virginia should still probably have a slight advantage, but this is most likely an even matchup. De Ridder’s 2025-26: 36 GS, 36 GP, 27.7 MPG, 15.6 PPG, 1.6 APG, 6.2 RPG, 50.8% FG, 35.7% 3PTWilliams is one of the top recruits in the country.
