Virginia has now avoided their lowest-scoring tournament game ever. They scored 39 against Florida in the 2017 Round of 32.

I avoid assessing bid-worthiness (or, to a lesser extent, seeding) based on tournament performance. But Virginia has played this way nearly all season.
Four wins over tournament teams (only 3 that received at-large).
Nov. 10 Florida (neutral) 7 seed
Nov. 29 Texas A&M 9 seed
Jan 24 NC State 11 seed First Four
Feb 3 at Clemson 6 seed (road)
Had a few “quality losses.”
Got a lot of mileage from that Clemson win.

Clemson was out in front, but pretty much all the ACC mouthpieces were parroting it.
A couple players busted out frosted tips in their hair for the notorious UAB game.

NCAA game vs UAB. Some of our players came out with newly frosted tips and proceeded to lose to a 14 seed.
Nearly all of the tournament ahead, but at this point, based on Virginia's showing and how ridiculous the brackets are, especially the East, I think it is safe to say this is quite likely going to turn out to be the worst committee of all time in selecting the tourney teams/seeds.
Their non conference SOS was not great. And they got their ass best by anyone with a pulse.
Lost to Florida. Lost by 25 to Wisconsin. Lost by 23 to Memphis. Beat A&M.

As always, it depends on which Texas shows up. "Bad Texas" may show up, take them lightly, and not come to play their A game. I agree, "Good Texas" will whip them.
If you want an accurate seeding assessment, CSU-UVa was more like a 9 seed vs. NIT 1 seed.
That’s what I gathered but I still don’t get it. Do people think that’s somehow a sign they weren’t locked in or focused? That’s the part I don’t understand…
