The reason the media always brings up the case of Kenyon Martin is because nobody can think of a good example since.<br /><br />The problem for Virginia is if they lose a couple of games down the stretch and then they'll probably have to win the ACC tournament to earn that 1 seed. At this point it seems premature to assume Anderson will be back and at full strength for the ACC tourney.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767101715737129123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-55500485242192926842015-02-08T12:56:42.635-05:002015-02-08T12:56:42.635-05:00He's slated to return in time for the tourname...He's slated to return in time for the tournament. You don't think the committee will take that into consideration if (and it's a big if) they lose several games down the stretch? And beyond that: there is a sizable gap between them and #3/4. Everyone with a better SoS than they do has at least 4 losses. <br /><br />How many losses does it take to knock them off the one line (taking into account that Kansas, Duke, Arizona, etc. are likely to lose again), and how many do you honestly see them taking (even without Anderson) in their relatively soft final 8 games?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22972768.post-35799153229680535532015-02-08T03:06:20.311-05:002015-02-08T03:06:20.311-05:00Losing Justin Anderson for somewhere between the n...Losing Justin Anderson for somewhere between the next 3-6 weeks is why.

You do know that Arizona lost its 3rd game and that UVa just won 2 straight over top 15 teams, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
