After a year’s hiatus, Virginia will be back in the NCAAs in 2023, and there’s a pretty good chance that the Cavaliers end up winning the ACC regular season as well. They’re definitely the best team in the league, though that’s a low bar this year: they’re the only ACC team in the top 30 of the Pomeroy Ratings.
Virginia returned pretty much all of its meaningful minutes from 2022, so the Wahoos were bound to get better, and they’ve been more effective at both ends of the court, albeit unexceptionally so. And this is still the slowest-paced team in the league.
