We didn't. So it's not relevant.

How did we get a 2 seed?

We had a really good regular season.

How do we go about using it to our advantage? That's what I genuinely want to know.

I feel like every year we have a debate about the same thing, i understand your frustration I really do. But when another user posts that we are not relevant after we got a 2 seed I’m gonna have to say something.

Understandable. And I agree that 2 seeds don't just magically happen. I just want to see us take advantage.

The fact that this is such a yearly convo is a problem. Or at least it should be at some point. Always something left to be desired. And the years just tick on by.

It is okay to be upset, but you are attacking every single post someone makes that is at all optimistic or disagrees with your doom and gloom attitude.

Take a break. Its 2 weeks after the season and Football doesn't start up until August. Get outside and smell the roses a little bit.

Virginia got the brakes beat off them from the tip.... both were huge upsets..CATS was a choke job tho... and every aspect of what needs fixed with the program came out in said choke job.

Interesting that the 2 biggest tournament loses were dealt to the 2 best defensive teams (with not much offense)? Could there be something to learn from that?

What makes you say those were the two biggest tourney losses? In terms of difference in seeding, X's loss was "bigger" and arguably more of an upset/surprise. And they're an offensive team.

so let me understand this, Virginia who I believe was the number 1 overall seed The ACC champion got the pants beat off them by a team who was one of the last to make the field and that wasn't a choke job? Now I will never argue that we didn't give the game to Nevada away but Virginia losing was every bit as historic as our loss.

Virginia had enough offense to go 17-1 i

Virginia had enough offense to win the ACC and be the number 1 seed. UC had enough to win its league and tourney, secure a 22 point lead with 11 minutes to go against Nevada. We had plenty of offense to win that game. We took bad shot after bad shot , quit guarding and turned the ball over.

Virginia had enough offense to go 17-1 in the ACC. They lost to a 16 seed UMBC in the tourney. You think them losing was a matter of them not having a good enough offense?
