At least with that bracket, UVA can finally avoid Michigan State until a possible finals matchup.

I know we were missing Valentine, but that Oakland team that MSU just played was as good as anybody we have played this season. Including Kansas (pre-Diallo). They are a definite tournament team if Felder stays healthy.

Only way they'll be able to make it is if they win the auto bid though(assuming they don't beat UVA). Just won't have the resume to warrant an at large bid.

If the PAC actually did get 8 teams in that would be amazing.

First thought I had also.

F that.

Playing a road game vs a Pac 12 foe in the tourney.

Heck, we're already doing that in our bowl game.
