UVA women defeated LaSalle 94-73 in Philadelphia

Brunelle started and led Virginia in minutes played with 22 and was one of six who had double digit scoring. Thirteen played, and all but one played at least 9 minutes. Three point shooting was disappointing as they made just 5 of 21 attempts, but they were 23 of 25 on foul shots. The defense forced 20 turnovers and had 9 steals. Virginia made at least 20 points in all four quarters.

Again don't get mad at the messenger but I saw this on some group boards that Coach Tony Elliott may be released.

UVA reportedly reaching out to several Candidates including the following:

1. VT WR coach Fontel Mines
2. PSU DC Anthony Poindexter
3. Former NFL QB Peyton Manning

Feel bad for Georgetown

They lost to TCU on a banked-in 3-pointer as time expired. Refs were able to review the play to see if he got the shot off in time, and on the replay, he is clearly seen stepping out of bounds before the shot. Refs said they couldn’t do anything about that because they didn’t call it live. But if they HAD called him out of bounds, then they would have been required to review it and could have given him the basket if they got it wrong. These rules make no sense.

I guess they don’t want every game to end with a review looking for something they might have missed, but when you are reviewing the play anyway and notice a mistake, it is asinine to say you can’t do anything about it.

Jordan Minor

Did anyone else notice the announcer say, during the aTm game, that Minor was battling through a knee issue? If this is so, then maybe that explains his lack of explosiveness and mobility. His film shows an athletic player and strong rebounder and thus far he hasn't been able to show any of that. Just curious if anyone else noticed that.

Important win for Virginia over Syracuse 84-62

It wasn't just the usual suspects who led Virginia to a blowout win. McKneely set a personal record with 22 points and was the leading scorer for Virginia, and he was second to Bond (6) with 5 rebounds. Beekman had another excellent game; he was second in scoring with 13 points and made 5 of his 7 shots. He was credited with 8 assists and 0 turnovers. Eight Cavs got at least 6 points, and eleven players grabbed at least 1 rebound as Virginia won on the boards 33 - 27. As a team, Virginia was 12 for 21 (57.1 %) from behind the arc and 12 for 15 (80%) from the foul line. Good shooting, good rebounding, and good defense all were factors in what was arguably our most impressive game.

Football coaches on the road today

UVA’s football staff is splitting time between Charlottesville and other parts of VA today, as they look to wrap up the 2024 recruiting cycle and turn their focus to 2025. Keith Gaither and John Rudzinski flew down to the tidewater to watch King George vs Phoebus (KG has Maryland commit Mekhi White, who UVa will keep recruiting to NSD). Coaches are headed up to DC later this afternoon too, making use of the jet today.

Class of 2025 big man Akuentok talks early UVa interest

Class of 2025 big man Marial Akuentok likes what he’s heard from UVa thus far. @HoustonWilson talked to him about his contact with the Hoos and how he's feeling about his recruitment thus far.

Something old on the court and something new

All five starters played at least 31 minutes and scored all of Virginia's points as they all were double figure scorers. In spite of A&M being at the top of the country in offensive rebounding, Bennett went with a small lineup. The result was that the Cavs were outrebounded 42 to 30. The team more than compensated for the rebounding deficit by better defense and higher percentage shooting. Dunn had 5 blocks, and Beekman had 2 of the team's 8 blocks while the Aggies had only 1. Virginia also forced 16 turnovers while committing 10. The team out shot A&M in field goals 41.5% to 30.4%, three pointers 36% to 17.4%, and foul shots 100% to 75%. The result was a Cavalier 59 to 47 win against the #17 team.
