4. Seeding

This is such an interesting topic to me. Virginia is going to get the 6th seed in the ACC Tournament. That in and of itself is crazy, considering how good Virginia is. They will be a tough match-up for anyone and, what should be theoretically an easier opponent, is now a team that could truly win the whole thing.

Virginia has disappointed their fans in the past when they’ve had high seedings in tournaments. It will be interesting to see what they do when the expectations and pressures are lessened.
