I always thought if a #1 loss, it would be an iffy, overseeded #1. But UVA was #1 ranked for the last few weeks, won the ACC tournament handily, and ended the year unanimous #1 in both polls and obvious #1 overall seed.
The Hunter injury hurt, but it shouldn't have mattered for this game. I'm not a UVA fan at all, and was cheering on the upset, but I feel kind of bad now for a lot of people I know. Also it would have been good for Charlottesville for their team to have a good run in the tourney after everything that city has been through.
