Projection: need to automatically qualify
Virginia's early season performance has been marked by a solid defense, evidenced by their impressive rankings in that area, but their offensive struggles raise red flags. Victories against teams like Campbell and Coppin State were expected, yet the loss to Tennessee highlighted significant gaps in their scoring ability against top-tier opposition. The upcoming game against Florida, a respected opponent, will be crucial. Winning that could boost their profile significantly, while a poor showing could further expose their offensive deficiencies. Making the most of matchups against middle-tier teams like NC State and Louisville will also be vital in building a more convincing tournament resume.
