'' 5 -- Curtis Staples 44 -- Sean Singletary Rivalries Louisville Cardinals Following conference realignment, the Cardinals moved from the Big East to the ACC and were designated UVA 's rival, replacing Maryland. While the two schools had little previous history, having met only 8 times prior to becoming conference rivals, the series has been characterized by tight games and blowouts since 2014. The rivalry has taken on a similar feel to the old Maryland series, as both teams have acted as spoilers to the other with a Cardinal win in 2015 and a 2017 Cavalier win delaying or preventing an ACC regular season title, while an injury to star player Justin Anderson during the 2015 matchup derailed UVA 's national championship aspirations. The March 2018 matchup between the two teams ended with Virginia scoring 5 points in the final 0.9 seconds and dealing what proved to be a mortal blow to Louisville 's NCAA tournament hopes. Virginia leads the all - time series 11 - 4. The most recent matchup was a 75 -- 58 Virginia win in the ACC Tournament on March 8, 2018. Maryland terrapins Thanks to the proximity of these two long - time ACC members, and their status as Tobacco Road outsiders, Maryland and Virginia have a long - standing rivalry that spans many decades. Traditionally, these two schools would meet in the last game of the season, and they both acted as spoilers to the other as they sought conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances. This rivalry has been dormant in recent years however, thanks to Maryland 's move to the Big Ten Conference, though they did match up in the 2014 ACC - Big Ten Challenge. The most recent matchup was 76 - 65 win for the Cavaliers on December 3, 2014 in College Park, Maryland. North Carolina Tar Heels As two of the ACC 's oldest and most successful members, the UVA - UNC rivalry spans all sports and has persisted since the late 1800s. The 1980s were a particular highlight for this series as All - time greats like Ralph Sampson and Michael Jordan leading both programs to national prominence. While the Tar Heels have a significant lead in the All - Time series, the resurgence of both programs under Roy Williams and Tony Bennett has rekindled this once - fierce rivalry, as both schools have regularly found themselves at or near the top of national and conference polls during the 2010s. The most recent matchup came in the ACC Tournament championship on March 10, 2018, where Virginia beat UNC 71 - 63. Virginia Tech Hokies As the two Power Conference teams in the Commonwealth, the Cavaliers and Hokies have a long - standing rivalry. While the intensity has picked up since Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004, the series has long been dominated by UVA, with the Cavaliers leading the series 91 - 55 (. 623 winning percentage ). The most recent matchup occurred at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, with UVA falling in overtime 61 - 60 on February 10, 2018.
