The Virginia Cavaliers play for a spot in their second Elite Eight since 2016 tonight as they face the 12th seeded Oregon Ducks. Oregon has been on a tear as of late, rattling off 10 straight wins to earn the Pac-12 tournament crown and a spot in the Sweet 16. While we already took a look at how the new-look Ducks matchup with the Hoos, it’s worth noting pace of play could be a huge factor in this game...just not how it usually is.
We knew going into the tournament that the South Region had a handful of teams that play on the slower side of things when it comes to adjusted tempo.
