It didn't take a full half of basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers to confirm what some fans and analysts had already thought — they didn't look like an NCAA Tournament-caliber team. Virginia, ranked 54th in the NET with two quad one wins and a hard-to-watch offense, was getting pummeled in the 2024 First Four by Colorado State out of the Mountain West. Conversely, a team like Indiana State, which went 27-6 and ranked 28th in the NET, was left out of the 68-team bracket. The Sycamores had one of the game's most popular players in Robbie Avila, though the lack of quality opponents (a problem most mid-majors struggle with these days) kept them out of the tournament.
