We played down to our competition. We tied for our 2nd lowest offensive production this year with our 61 points by shooting 17 for 34 on our two-point shots and just 6 for 18 from behind the arc and 9 for 16 from the foul line. Rebounding was even with 'Ville grabbing 1 more than the Hoos. The biggest difference between the two teams was the points off turnovers; Virginia had 6 turnovers which led to 5 points while Louisville had 10 turnovers which Virginia turned into 13 points. Once again the +/-was deceptive. Ellis was the leading scorer in the game with 21 points but was - 5, and Miller, who did not score, was +6. Vander Plas, who scored 10 points, was +8, and Clark, who had 14 points, was -6. I have to believe that most who watched the game would say that Clark was a big reason why Virginia won the game in spite of the -6.

Eaton hit a 3-run home run in the first inning to get the ladies off to a 4-0 lead. UNCG hit 2 solo home runs for their only runs.

Wisconsin forward Jack Daugherty is a 2024 prospect that UVa will be tracking this spring and summer. He talked to @HoustonWilson about his interest in the Hoos, his game, and his connections to Tony Bennett.

We can only presume the Louisville game against Miami at Miami and how well the Cards scored and played there caught the coaches and team's attention to the point where they they come to play Wednesday night. If not, an upset could happen, we need to hit 3s and guard the paint with some bigs -i.e. play Shed and Dunn a lot??? If I was the Cards coach I would merely foul BVP and see if he is still afraid to make a FT. He shot them like a grade school player.

Did anyone see the article that ESPN posted, about how the ACC said that the refs made the wrong call on the final play? In the article they (ACC) posted a rule.

Preview: @justin ferber gets you ready for tonight’s matchup in the Derby City as struggling Louisville gets set to host No. 7 UVa (7 p.m., ESPNU).

Class of 2025 forward Landon Vanderwarker talked to @HoustonWilson recently about his trip to UVa this winter and what stood out most about seeing the program up close.

So I know this is a sore topic for some posters that are unwilling to confront the obvious. But our guys are struggling with consistent free throw shooting, cause most have bad form.

Did you look at the schools with good free throw shooters? They can be a 7ft plus big man that hits feathery smooth free throw shots; over and over again.

Free throw shooting is like going to the gun range. Just showing up and shooting; neither will not make you better consistently; Technique will.

It's how you hold the weapon grip wise, breathing technique if you are using long rifles or sniper rifles, which is your weak eye or strong eye but you get my point.

No different when you grip the ball, how you tuck in your elbows, bend your knees, take a deep breath and focus and your release and follow through the same way.

You can shoot a weapon (I've logged in 1000s of rounds a year in 4 or 5 different hand guns, I was certified Expert in, a year for an entire military career; 1,000s of rounds in long rifles, sniper rifles, and military ARs my entire career; certified Expert in all my weapons ) tell the cows come home but if you are using bad techniques you will not make that great improvement.

I use the free throw shooting and or shooting a weapon to qualify (Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert) as similar myths that if you just show up and shoot alot of rounds or shots you will greatly improve; that's a myth if you have bad form or bad technique.

She had a no-hit win and two saves. Nice start for the Virginia first year.

The 2023 UVA commit was chosen for the Nike Hoop Summit Team. Very nice honor for the future Wahoo.

Can we just go ahead and change the name of this channel to the “UNC/Duke network “?
They have today and most days spent more time talking about Heels and Dookies trying to make the dance than about the Hoos getting hosed in the national polls or how good Miami might be. They change the subject to women’s lacrosse, and no mention of our ladies win as a ranked team though every other ACC ranked team got some love. When are they going to figure out that UNC/ Duke men’s basketball, though still pretty good, will never be as dominant as in the recent past. I’m over it.

ACC Storylines: @justin ferber is back with his weekly stroll around the league as he tracks some of the top storylines facing UVa and others in the ACC.

Is anyone selling reasonably priced tickets (need 3 one daughter is not yet 2, but will buy 4) to the game on Saturday? I have not seen any below $160 per ticket anywhere online. Let me know and we can chat off-line. Thank you!

Greetings from JPJ where the Blue Devils and 8th-ranked Wahoos will tip things up in about an hour and a half. I'll be back with notes and updates in a little bit.

As always, have at it folks...

He has put in the work to improve his shot and his confidence. All he needs is D Wayne's course on FT shooting and kid will be NBA bound!

Hard to pull for the Cheats but we need them to knock off the 'Canes. I notice though a lot of empty seats at the Dean Dome, surprising with them coming off their best win of 2023 and the game being on ESPN where they are worshiped.

On Episode 497 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“The Variance”), we discuss UVa’s win over Duke, the way it played out, the ending, the reaction, and where the ceiling sits for the Hoos.

Typical Kansas poll favoritism when they lost to #13 Iowa State and yes they beat #5 Texas and a weak Oklahoma. What got me is when they lost 3 ranked games in a row and dropped very little in the polls.

Also amazed at how Texas lost to Kansas and only dropped one spot from #5 to #6 right in front of us. Should we not have leap frogged them?

Apparently on official visit yesterday. Seemed like good atmosphere. wonder how it went.

If anyone has some to sell, please email me at bathey@congressionalcap.com. Looking to take my little boys. Thanks Brian

Hearing Northwestern beat Purdue today. But don’t have score yet

I am really happy for the coaches and team as we have been playing without key players and an already short bench.

of the tournament in Houston before finally winning the game 2, which had been postponed on Thursday, 14-7 over Houston. Impressive four wins by Virginia to start the 2023 season.

Unfortunately, she's struggled with injuries her whole career. Glad she'll be back and hope she finally gets a whole season under her belt next year.
