Your Virginia Cavaliers won the ACC regular season outright and the conference tournament. They’re also ranked unanimously as the No. 1 team in the country, and there’s simply no team in the country who has been as dominant as the Cavaliers, start to finish throughout the season. So with that as context, there should be no surprise whatsoever when you read the following sentence:
Rounding out the four No. 1 seeds are, in order, Villanova, Xavier, and Kansas.
The Hoos are headed to Charlotte, North Carolina for the first weekend of games and will face UMBC on Friday, and assuming all goes as planned, the Hoos will face the winner of Creighton and Kansas State for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.
