PHILADELPHIA - Virginia's Cavaliers are dancing into March Madness with a No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region, and they're staying close to home on the East Coast. This decision has brought a wave of excitement to the team, as they gear up for the tournament.
Virginia guard Chance Mallory shared his relief and excitement about the seeding. "It was a crazy feeling because we didn't know if we'd be a three or four seed," Mallory explained.
"Seeing Virginia heading to Philly was a thrill. I wasn't keen on heading out west, so staying closer to home is fantastic.
Experiencing this with my teammates makes it even more special."
For Devin Tillis, this marks his first trip to March Madness, and the journey has been remarkable. "I've never been to March Madness," Tillis said.
"To go from being projected as a 10 seed at the start of the year to landing a three seed is incredible. It's a blessing, and I'm thrilled to share this moment with my teammates."
The Cavaliers are set to bring their A-game, and their fans are eager to see what they can achieve in Philadelphia. With their sights set high, Virginia is ready to make a memorable run in the tournament.
