Three former UVA basketball players to watch for in the NCAA Tournament

In the era of the transfer portal and unprecedented player movement, it’s easy to find reasons to root for — or against — teams with former Virginia players on their roster. Especially following last season’s frontcourt exodus which saw every returning power forward or center not named Ryan Dunn enter the portal, there are plenty of ex-’Hoos out and about in college basketball, including three on NCAA Tournament rosters: Isaac Traudt at Creighton, Kadin Shedrick at Texas and Casey Morsell at NC State.

Here’s a roundup of how the eight (yes, eight!) former UVA basketball players in college hoops fared this season:
