Hoos Hoopin' S4E8: Guess Hoos Back in the NCAA Tournament, Virginia Finishes 2nd in ACC (Again)

About this episode

The episode discusses bracket projections, UVA's performance in the ACC Tournament, and predictions for the NCAA Tournament.

The guys are rejoined by resident bracketologist Fred Umland to discuss how he and Khari fared in their bracket projections compared to other notable bracketologist like Joe Lunardi. The guys give their thoughts on what the committee got right and wrong before shifting into UVA's performance in the ACC Tournament. With a couple minutes spent on praising the run the Hoos made and some time dedicated to venting about the final minutes of the championship game, the crew breaks down UVA's path and chances at cutting down nets this spring. To close out the pod, our trio goes over their Final Four picks, their national champion picks, and some upsets they think could happen in round 1.
