We're sensing a trend...
The Virginia men's basketball team has made the Sweet 16 two out of the last three seasons, including this year (in case you've somehow missed that). Apparently, when all the articles on boring basketball and ruining the game have run their course, something - or someone - else catches the media's eye.
In 2014, as Virginia prepared for their Sweet 16 matchup with Michigan State, USA Today's Nicole Auerbach highlighted Joe Harris's ability to capture the hearts of fans nationwide.
From that piece:
Teenage girls, women and now middle-aged men are not shy in sharing their love for Harris, the Virginia senior guard with a clean-cut look and faint resemblance to Zac Efron.
