5 year 37 million with Philly. Nice work!!

This gives UVA fans one less thing to fret about.

There is no doubt in my mind that Brogdon will have his number retired. His body of work is already impressive enough, and we still have two big tournaments to go. He has represented UVA with class and is just a guy for which you have to cheer! He embodies UVA's focus on "Uncompromised Excellence." I'm just curious as to how long it will take, or must take, for this obvious honor to become a reality!

With that being said, Perrantes deserved better than honorable mention and AG should at least have been 2nd Team.

Voyager defeated South Creek 71-50 in the semi-finals on March 5. Huff scored 18 points and had 7 rebounds and 4 blocks and was named Player of the Game.

Hey guys!

Is the podcast gonna be on Tuesday? Anyway, I was wondering if you could cover whether or not GA Tech or Clemson is a better match up for us. Also, we're you surprised Malcolm was such a runaway winner of the POY? I heard several Carolina fans complaining about the Acc media. Hahaha! That's rich!

Personally, I think Clemson is a better match up. GA Tech has been hot lately, and most importantly they have better 3 point shooters.

Thanks as always!

I thought I saw it posted on here a couple months ago that Huff was now in the 150? I didn't see him just now.

Also something else interesting, I noticed Harvard and Yale have two commits in the 150. That is something you don't see very often. Did they start giving athletic scholarships in the Ivy league? I can't see passing over full rides to go there unless you have an athletic or academic scholarship. Then again, some families got it like that.

It was a big Senior Night for all five of UVa's seniors, including Evan Nolte. Getting his first start of the season, the Georgia native buried a pair of early 3-pointers and after the 68-46 win over Louisville talked about the feeling of being out there with his classmates and hearing the crowd at John Paul Jones Arena going crazy as he and the seniors closed out their last home game as well as how the team shifts its focus to the postseason.

North Central defeated Guy's team 59-50. Guy scored 28 points in the loss.

2nd team with that dude

Which coaching job was more impressive and why:

What Buzz accomplished at Marquette or what Tony accomplished at Washington State?

Go!

I know it doesn't really matter but I want the number 1 ranking in the two main polls. It has been over 30 years now since UVa could say it was ranked 1. Last year we had some first place votes and even earlier this year there was a week where we got 1 or 2 first place votes. Which leads me to my question. If Kansas, Michigan State, and Villanova falter in their tournaments while UVa wins, will we rise up to number 1 or is Kansas firmly entrenched there that they can soak up one loss and remain?

I have not seen a thread addressing Nolte's play, but for the bad PR and tough games he has had, i was ecstatic to se him have a good game on senior night. the look on his face coming down the court after his second "THREE' was priceless, and the reaction by the team and crowd was fitting. That is way he should finish at JPJ. We can only hope that this reckless abandon will carry into the ACC and NCAA tourneys. Class act.

We're playing as well as I expected. Dominating in <nojinx> what looks like an easy win </nojinx>. And I'm just thinking about what could have been.

What did we have, three losses by one basket? Five losses by five points or fewer. Give us one game. One basket. And we're ACC champs three years in a row.

I don't even think I'd have been that concerned if Miami hadn't opened that door early. Then I started to hope. <nojinx>I knew we'd beat Louisville.<no jinx> So all we needed was for Duke and the refs to do their job. Man.

But we're playing great tonight and played great against Carolina.

ACC tourney could almost be a home game. We don't have that lethargy we've seemingly had the past few years. These guys still have a lot in their tank.

I think we could win the ACC tourney and go deep in the big dance. That'll take away some of bitterness, that's for sure.

Go Hoos!

Doyle pitched 6 innings and gave up 8 hits and 4 tuns. Rosenberger pitched 1.1 innings and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits. Roberts pitched the last 1.2 innings and allowed 1 hit. UVA got 13 hits and 2 walks but managed to space them out, so we scored single runs in 4 innings. Smith went 3 for 5 to lead the Hoos offensively.

Miami (24-6 overall) shared second place in the final ACC standings and enters the ACC Tournament as the No. 3 seed. The Hurricanes went 9-0 in home conference games and are 5-2 against fellow ranked teams. Miami is currently ranked seventh nationally and has been ranked among the nation’s top 15 for a school-record 12 weeks this season.

In one of the most memorable Senior Night efforts in recent memory, Mike Tobey not only got the start for No. 4 UVa but went for 15 points and a career-high 20 rebounds in the 68-46 victory over No. 11 Louisville. Tobey talked about the experience, about his motivation, and about what it means for both him and the team going forward.

Getting ready to go here with UVa's Tony Bennett. Check this thread for notes in a few...

Kid has 17 rebounds!!! If MT can just play like this the rest of the month NO ONE BEATS US BTW that shot he threw up as the clock expired was a CLASSIC!

Think back to 2012, and the state of UVA hoops and the expectations surrounding the program. WE had just come off the first NCAA appearance since Singletary and Reynolds and only the third appearance since 1997. Mike Scott was gone, and all hope rested on a group of recruits that represented CTB's best recruiting effort yet: Justin Anderson (top 50); Evan Nolte (top 60); Mike Tobey (top100); Taylor Barnette; Teven Jones
and a transfer Anthony Gill

These kids started their careers with a loss at George Mason, and quickly followed with a loss to Delaware. The class had talent, but missing at PG (Paige, Ferrell, Gesell, Robinson) left a big hole in the lineup, and Brogdon's injury kept him sidelined as well. These kids went on to post more wins than the prior year and were one game shy of Madison Square Garden.

The next season, 4OOC losses capped by Tennessee... and then the team jelled, the SOs started to step up- JA was ACC 6th man or year. MB found his game and Gill becomes a threat beside Tobey. 30 wins- as many as any team in UVA history- ACC champs ACCT champs sweet 16, and Hoos hoops was becoming a force

Their 3rd year, and the core of MB, AG, JA and MT reach #2, behind an NBA Kentucky team. A key injury to JA cuts short a dream season: another 30 win season and ACC champs 2 years running, but the team comes up short in March. Justin Anderson departs to the NBA,.

This season Brogdon is ACC POY, Gill is Mr Double double Tobey and Nolte still banging away. Can't help but smile thinking of what these kids have accomplished: a complete transformation of UVA basketball from an also ran bottom end ACC program to a now perennial top 10 squad competing each year for the ACC and national championship

Tomorrow night we bid farewell to the greatest collective class in Virginia hoops history (Ralph was in a class by himself). Could not be more proud of these kids and what they have accomplished.
