Since our last update, the UVA Basketball team blew a 16-point lead in a home loss to North Carolina, then rallied from 19 down to win in two OTs at Notre Dame.

No sins committed either way there.

Carolina is a sure-bet NCAA Tournament team; Notre Dame won’t be, but that’s still a Quad 2 road win.
