A little over a third of the way through the season, the Virginia Cavaliers’ men’s basketball team is projected to make the NCAA Tournament. Those projections are still largely based on the Hoos’ preseason projections and expectations.
As a refresher, when the NCAA Tournament committee convenes to set the NCAA Tournament bracket, they use the “NET” rankings to determine who receives the at large bids and seed lines. A team’s NET ranking is compromised of a formula with a whole host of computer numbers incorporated (KenPom, RPI, etc.) and the team’s schedule and results from that year make up the team’s NET Report.
