Virginia pulled him out of Charlotte, completely unheralded. He was downright horrendous as a freshman. He has put in so much hard work, it's mind-boggling how much he has improved. Mitchell is the poster child for UVA's program under Bennett.
I'm talking Defensive POY, not POY. No one on UVA got first team ACC because they score so evenly.

Joey Buckets for 3!!!!!
DPOY stats is what I'm talking about. His stats don't pass the eyeball test for rebounding, steals or blocked shots. Maybe if you watch UVA all the time and realize how special their team defense is with him being the key guy to make it work you can get there, but that award usually goes to a guy with more flashy stats. Who won it, btw?

38 years of waiting is over. Couldn't happen in better fashion than beating Duke on Tobacco Road and having Duke being sore losers. Not many teams have pulled off winning ACC regular season + tournament. It's elite company. Really think Virginia deserves a 2 seed.
Good for UVA, been a long ass time for them and they were the better team.
It's nice to see UVA win this tourney, congrats to them. They showed a graphic a few minutes ago that this is the first time ever that it's been 3 straight years without a team from the state of NC winning the ACC tourney.
CVille, I can't imagine that UVA won't be at least a 2 seed

Should get a 2. If Michigan loses they deserve consideration for the final 1 seed. My guess is 2 though. Thing about UVA is this isn't a one year deal like Miami last year. Bennett is building a giant.

ACC Tournament MVP: Joe Harris. Bennett's first recruit, pulled out of little Chelan, WA
The deserving team won. They should get a #1, although it doesn't make that much difference.
They're better than Michigan.

Hard to tell from TV but seems reasonable from what you could tell. And I'm sure fans of any of the other schools that were in attendance were pulling against Duke.

The more I look at it, the more I think Virginia really deserves the 1 seed if Michigan loses. It's not like any of Virginia's losses are actually "bad" or close to it. 28 wins, one of the rare teams to win ACC regular season (and by a large margin) and tournament title. Wins over Duke on a neutral court, Syracuse, North Carolina, road win and neutral win over Pitt, neutral win over SMU, 3 wins over FSU, 31 point win at NC State. Just don't see how anyone else is really any more deserving.
I'm leaning that way, too. I'm going to update the other thread if Michigan State wins. Nova's SOS is only 30 and if we go by AP I think UVA would be ranked #4 on Monday (1 Florida, 2 Wichita State, 3 Arizona, 4 Virginia). The other team that might get the AP vote is Louisville, but their paper resume is just so bad that I don't think the committee can pretend it uses objective criteria as the driver in its selections if they were to vault them to a 1-seed.
I know I've been saying that UVA should be considered for a 1 seed but the things working against them is their SOS is a little weaker than Michigan's and they only have 4 top 50 wins. I guess it would be 5 now.

After UVA beat Duke, I really felt like it was going to come down to UVA or Meatchicken getting that last #1 seed, depending on what happened in the B1G game. There's just no other really inspiring candidates
Growing up in VA, I was born hating Duke and especially NC during the Dean Smith days. I grew up watching Terry Holland and the boys never quite get to the top of the mountain, in conference or in the NCAA Tourney. Just so it is clear, I ****ing hate both of those blue clad **** bag teams.

Add this to the long list of reasons I am not a Duke fan at all and ESPN pisses me off when they use headlines like this too-

I know you should be an advocate for your conference but Coach K doesn't watch enough PAC 12 Bball either.
