After beginning February with a 27-point destruction of Duke, Clemson dropped four of its remaining seven games in the month, closing it with a 73-66 loss at Florida State on Saturday.

The Tigers are 12-3 at Littlejohn Coliseum, and they haven't dropped three in a row overall since a four-game slide Feb. 14-24, 2007.

Virginia's biggest win of the season was an 85-81 overtime upset of the Tigers on Feb. 15, but the Cavaliers have dropped three straight games.

If Virginia, which is 1-8 on the road, is to complete a season sweep, it will also need a better effort from leading scorer Sylven Landesberg, who was held to 10 points in their last game. Get all your college basketball betting in the Bodog Sportsbook.
