VIRGINIA'S ADJUSTMENT
Virginia is the 4-seed after sharing the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title and before losing to Duke in the ACC Tournament final. But the Cavaliers lost starting forward Ben Vander Plas on the eve of the ACC Tournament to a season-ending injury, which has forced coach Tony Bennett to make a late-season rotation pivot that could be a factor in March.
That has meant more minutes for 6-foot-11 redshirt junior Kadin Shedrick, who went from not playing at all for the last two regular-season games to playing at least 17 minutes in three ACC tourney games.
Just confirmed by #UVA, the Cavs 1st round NCAA tournament game against Furman will be at 12:40 pm on TruTV.@CBS6 @UVAMensHoops
