With ACC regular season play in the books, the Virginia Cavaliers sharing the Regular Season Title with the Miami Hurricanes, and UVA slated as the #2 seed in this coming week’s ACC Tournament, the bracket is set with the Wahoos getting a relatively favorable draw. Pitt’s loss to Miami combined with Duke’s win over North Carolina and Clemson’s over Notre Dame has the Hurricanes, Blue Devils, and Panthers all on the opposite side of the bracket from UVA.

Considering that Pitt and Miami gave UVA the most trouble when the team was playing well earlier in the season (read: not during their five game skid in February), avoiding both of them potentially until the championship game is a plus.
