The Virginia Cavaliers remained at #4 in the final AP Poll and Coaches Poll of the regular season.
Kansas held on to the top spot in the AP, taking home 63 of 65 first-place votes, followed by Michigan State and Villanova. Five total ACC schools are ranked; in addition to Virginia, UNC checked in at #7, Miami at #11, Louisville at #14, and Duke at #19, while Notre Dame also received votes.
The Hoos were ranked as high as #2 on 6 ballots, while Randy Rosetta had UVA at #8. (Danny Neckel, our resident Poll Police, reached out to Rosetta on Twitter and got a bizarre explanation for the ranking.)
@DNeckel19 Metrics don't account for winning conference championships. UVa didn't win one. Great season, great team,though.
