Is this regular season? Or a tournament?

Regular season, the last two games are next week at home Friday and Sunday bookending Homecoming. Conference tournament after that.

Their record is now 12-4

I was just coming on to post this. Beating #7/8 (there are two polls) is huge. Is this the first win over a ranked team before?

They play at home Friday and Sunday.

First Top 10 win in program history. They've beaten Top 25 before, but it's been a while.

As soon as I posted this I read on Facebook this was indeed the highest ranked team they had ever beat. First win against an ACC team since 1999.
