Virginia basketball isn’t always a thing of beauty. The Cavaliers’ have a tendency to win ugly; an insatiable yearning to torment their fans with nail-biting finishes over and over again. The ‘Hoos are 6-0 in games decided by one possession or less (including OT wins), with their latest narrow victory coming against Boston College last night in the ACC Quarterfinals.
Most bracketologists deemed the Boston College game a must-win or should-win for Virginia to feel good about their NCAA Tournament hopes. The ‘Hoos took care of business, but unfortunately, just about every other bubble team did as well.
