The wrong team is being favored in this matchup. While Colorado State has undoubtedly impressed this season, their track record in tournament play, particularly within the Mountain West Conference, suggests they may not perform at their peak. Historically, the Mountain West Conference has struggled in the NCAA tournament, with a record of 27-59. On the other hand, Virginia, despite initial doubts about their invitation over other teams like Indiana State and St. John's, boasts of winning the Tournament in 2019. While their unexpected loss to Furman last season may have been a blip, it likely serves to sharpen their focus this time around. Their commendable overall record of 35-24 (59%) in March Madness underscores their capability in tournament settings.
