Interesting. Vegas trying to generate activity, or a legitimate line?

I decided to watch our 2019 NCAA quarterfinal, semifinal, and final games. There were several common denominators in the games. We would go up against three of the better college players - Edwards for Purdue, Harper for Auburn, and Culver for Texas Tech. Edwards had one of the very best shooting games I have ever seen, but at the end of the game when Purdue had a chance to win the game, he threw a pass out of bounds. Harper had made 19 free throws in a row, but at the end of the game, he missed one that might have sealed the win for Auburn. Culver had been hitting shots well in the second half, but when he had a shot to win the game, it was blocked by Key.
On the other hand, against Purdue, Virginia was down 3 with just a few seconds left when we made "the play" when Diakite hit the missed second free throw into the back court, Clark ran it down and threw a perfect pass back to Diakite. who swished a jump shot to send the game into overtime. Against Auburn we were down 2 when Guy was fouled with just a couple of seconds left; Guy calmly swished all three free throws to get the win. Against Tech, Hunter made a couple of crucial corner 3s to lead the Hoos to the final game win. We might need similar heroics in the game in the barn today.

Currently UNC is in 4th in the ACC. A loss away from dropping a notch and missing a double bye. Duke is currently in 7th and quite close to missing a bye. There's a lot of basketball left to play but I'm wondering which you would rather see - UNC miss a double bye or Duke miss a bye?

High level game. Very chippy and physical. Pitt has a lot of swagger. They are a cocky bunch.

The men's and women's squash teams are getting a lot of coverage and videos on VirginiaSports.com. From that, I assume they are officially sponsored by the Athletic Dept. including scholarships, travel and other expenses. Is this money coming from VAF donations? The NCAA does not sanction squash, even though they sanction every other minor sport in which only a few teams compete. That is how teams like Stanford rack up all their points in the Learfield Cup. So are the squash teams just club teams? I am just confused about their official standing and justification since the NCAA does not recognize the teams?

Where did he sign if anywhere. He is still showing as Va on the Rivals site. Did he end up having to go to prep school. Not a word and some thought he was or best recruit.

Preview: Another road trip for No. 6 UVa, another chance to get a season sweep. @justin ferber gets you set for tomorrow’s rematch in Blacksburg between the Hoos and Hokies.

With the Louisville win tonight they are now tied for last with GT. One win each! It's gotta' be Pastner's last year there, right? Someone like Tony Elliott has nowhere to go but up (well...I guess he could go sideways - but let's hope not!). Pastner peaked early and basically has ridden his career steadily downhill.

ACC Storylines: Things are becoming more clear as the middle thins a bit. @justin ferber takes his weekly look at the storylines facing UVa and others in the league.

On Episode 495 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“Hanging Chads”), we discuss the 2023 recruiting cycle and where things stand for UVa before we move to hoops and the seven-game winning streak.

U.Va.'s ranking should rise a few notches due to other top ten teams' losses:

#2 Kansas (0-2)
#5 UCLA (1-1)
#6 Gonzaga (0-1 so far)
#7 Texas (0-1 so far)
#8 Xavier (1-1)

Maverick Morris has been the offensive line coach under Terry Bowden at ULM the last couple of years. He played and GAd at Clemson before that.

Coach Elliott is addressing the media now.

He added that they're looking to bolster the OL and perhaps Safety in the spring.

More coming.

Ask us - we are here and ready to answer for the next 30 minutes or so.

Is he stuck in portal with no home? Isn’t he running out of time?

56-49 Clemson did not make FG in last THIRTEEN MINUTES of game. Only 4 points during that run. Talk about scoring droughts!

Hoos and Orange tip things up at the top of the hour.

As always, have at it folks…

Got a call from one of my brothers and he had told me that Kymora's dad and granddad texted him and they were suppose to go together to see her play, but my brother came down with Covid.

I asked him how he knew them ( I was in the military overseas when was 9) and he said he's known her Granddad since her grandfather was 12 and they both played on leagues together and her dad also he's been friends and been playing with him in games for over 10 years.

Looking forward to seeing Kymora (5*) and 4* Olivia McGhee, another VA girl next season. Coach Mox is making some in roads in UVA Basketball!

update: took out names for their security.

It's going to be a tough start for the Hoos, who open with games against Tennessee, JMU, Maryland and NC State. UVa has two weeknight games; a home date with the Wolfpack on Friday, September 22nd, and a road contest at Louisville on Thursday, November 9th. Full schedule and release below, we'll get the TV designations for the first few weeks of the season late in the spring.

2023 SCHEDULE (Home games in CAPS)

Hmmm, interesting implications to this...ACC gives its football teams new guidance on scheduling non-Power 5 road games: Don’t

We continue to make the same mistakes down the stretch that doom the outcome. The first of the year we played unselfish, team ball that made us a winner. Now we have players that just make selfish mistakes that has cost the girls team in the 4th the last half dozen games.

Just trying to be honest about how things played out, but Smith decided to continue to drive being heavily guard to the rack and throw up non-makeable shots high off the glass. I think she was 1-8 at one point.

Valladay has issues with awareness and doesn't know when to pull up and has had several balls stolen from her from behind.

We still have players that can't hold on to a simple loose ball coming off the rim and lose it off their hands; turning it back over for VT to hit a 3pt shot.

Clarkson was good at bodying up on offense against 6'6" Kitley, but she and several girls continue to travel with the ball even out in open court for no reason.

Taylor tends to get still in foul trouble and she gets her points, but she also turns over the ball in crunch moments.

Brunelle simply was a ghost in this game with only one floor shot and 4 free throws. She didn't get the ball in any shooting opportunities when Smith, Vaughn and Lawson were trying to drive in just to turn it over or throw up a complete brick shot.

This team has potential and losing Mir hurt us, but to be honest Brunelle, Clarkson, Lawson, and others have to get in a gym and get into playing shape and build strength.

VT girls were running up and down the court, even their heavy players in 4th, 5th gear and even our fastest players couldn't stay up with them. Our bigger girls were extremely slow both getting over or on fast breaks. VT girls just blew right by for easy layups.

Again, we have potential, if we could get in better shape, go back to playing selfless team ball instead of players winding up at the top, over and over to throw up a complete brick for a layup that you can see on their release it with way too much velocity on the ball when it hits the backboard and doesn't even hit the rim.

We tend to make great runs in the 3rd Quarter to completely fall apart or go dysfunctional in the 4th. You can see the frustration in Coach Mox on the sidelines/bench.

You know eventually with two top players coming next year she will get this program on track in the near future!

Lastly, one thing the top girls teams have we don't is that 6'4", 6'5", 6'6" player that can score under the basket and get rebounds. We simply don't have any of our big 3 at 6'2" only, that can get off the floor or defensively keep them from scoring easy turn arounds one on one.

Preview: After beating BC on Saturday, it's a short turnaround for No. 7 UVa tonight when the Hoos head to Syracuse (7 p.m., ESPN). @justin ferber breaks down the rematch in the Dome between the two teams.

Anybody else remember when TB first got got here and we lost our best player ( Landesburg ) and then had our prize recruit KT Harrell leave?

Makes me think of Armstrong leaving and the OLine guys transferring.

Now I’m not saying TE is going to be anywhere near TB, BUT there are similarities. I really get the same vibes with TE that I did with TB. What are my fellow board members thoughts??

New thread as requested. Seems we’re just out of tournament right now.
