Ok, time for some real talk.
If I’m being honest, I think #8 is a little too high for the Hoos.
(PAUSES FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m more bullish than most on this team, and if the AP poll had been released with Ty Jerome & co. behind Wichita State, Kansas, or Arizona, I’d be raising holy hell to everyone on the Twitters that would listen. But the fact remains, Virginia has beaten teams I expected them to beat, and lost to the one I thought they’d struggle with.
Somewhere around #12 would be where I’d slot the Cavaliers, but no one gives me a vote.
