Ahead of the start of the 2022-2023 college basketball season, the ACC has released its Preseason Media Poll along with preseason picks for the All-ACC First and Second Teams, ACC POTY, and ACC ROTY.
The Virginia Cavaliers weren’t too prominent in the polling, picked to finish third in the ACC behind North Carolina in first and Duke in second. Granted, the ‘Hoos did pick up the second-most first place votes with six compared to North Carolina’s 90, Duke’s two, and Miami’s two. Not that this means all that much.
Jayden Gardner was picked for the All-ACC Second Team and was the highest vote getter of that group as he was just three “points” behind Duke’s Jeremy Roach who was the fifth guy on the First Team.
