UVa, with Tennessee, Baylor, and St Johns (coached by Pitino, Sr).
This should be a great, great tournament.
I just bought tickets for myself, my wife, my two grown sons, and my daughter-in-law, along with flights and hotel. A relatively massive expenditure, but I love watching UVa play in person (I live in Nashville so the opportunity rarely presents itself). I am a UVa grad (1980), and although my sons were educated elsewhere, they may both be bigger UVa fans that even I am.
We saw UVa play 6 or 7 years ago (when Jerome, etc were 1st years) when they played in another November tournament in/near Ft Walton Beach. We literally sat 1 row behind the UVa bench. I recall we beat Iowa and then Providence. My boss at the time (an Iowa alumnus) was there a few rows behind me so I had to temper my enthusiasm somewhat. Not this time.
Cannot wait!!!
