Damn that's the ACC player of the year.

This is definitely one of those things that offers the, "Somebody's gonna win 6 games in a row" reminder.

Wow, that's a big loss for Tech.

Sources: Ga. Tech star Wright out for first round

Anyone know what's going on with UVA? Any players expected to be out?

At least 1 and possibly more. We don't know which player, but do know he's in their top 8 rotation. Rest of the players had to quarantine until today. They haven't announced any additional positives.

Yeah, I can't decide if UVA is undervalued due to the covid scares or properly valued. All teams (& all of us) have some covid-related impact (long bus rides, limited practice time, isolation) very hard to gauge where it'll have a positive and negative impact. I'm kinda pro-UVA, but think Colgate is totally suspect due to limited schedule.
Some teams are going to be the Miami Heat and embrace the bubble, bond and dominate. Will emerge in games though. Best guess is pick what usually works in March: Great Guards., more experienced the better.
