Any word on his face injury yet?

Four-star signee Elijah Gertrude talked to @HoustonWilson about coming back from his knee injury, the communication and support he’s gotten from UVa, his timetable for a return, and much more.

Wow, that was a great game with great execution by both teams. It shows that you really need a top line point guard to make everything click. Obviously, there was talent elsewhere.

Such a fun game to watch.

Was bored and went and looked up numerous videos of our new Transferred in QB, Tony Muskett. Some things that stuck out about him.

1.) He is quick on getting back, setting his feet and on the release pretty quickly.
2.) Really liked his accuracy both down field long passes and mid range throws across the middle.
3.) Loved how he kept the defense guessing when he looked like he would take off, he would step up and appear to take off to only buy time to throw it to a player crossing or in the end zone finding an opening spot.
4.) Like when he has the light go off he knows how to take off and run and doesn't hesitate.

Now granted we don't know what our O line will look like, but irregardless, it didn't appear he had lots of time to get rid of the ball on his previous team. Just really like that fake out move of appearing to take off long enough up to the line of scrimmage to buy time long enough for his offensive receiver to get separation for a nice strike and catch.

I will be pulling for him and hope the coaching staff allows him an opportunity to do and throw like he did at Monmouth.

That run up in the pocket up to the line to find guys open, and throw a dagger, will be his secret sauce. Let's hope the coaching staff incorporate it into their game plans as one of his strengths.

I see he's in the portal and we were on him hard coming out of high school. Is he someone who TB might take a look at? We've doing well going back and revisiting guys we missed on out of high school when they decided to transfer.

'Virginia scored 1 run in each of the first 3 innings. Gelof had a solo home run in the 1st. In the second , a single, a walk, and an error loaded the bases, and Virginia got a run when Rubin was hit by a pitch. Teel added a solo home run in the 3rd to give Virginia a 3-1 lead. Virginia added 2 more runs in the 4th when O'Ferrall hit a double after three consecutive walks. O'Ferrall drove in the final Cavs run with a single after Didawick reached base on an error and stole second. Hodges started on the mound and was relieved by Jaxel in the 3rd inning. Jaxel struck out 6 of the 8 batters he faced. I am guessing that he got the win.
Both teams had 8 hits. Virginia was led by O'Ferrall, who was 3 for 5 with 3 RBI and Teel who was 2 for 4 with 1 RBI. Virginia is undefeated in home games this year.

Last year our season ended on 3/22 and the three players that entered the portal did so (as best I can tell) on 3/25 (Poindexter), 3/28 (McCorkle) and 4/1 (Milicic). This year our season ended on 3/16 so I know it's still early, but hopefully it's a good sign so far that nobody has entered the portal yet. That's not to say someone won't soon, but would imagine if anyone is going to enter the portal they would do so soon to maximize their opportunity to go elsewhere.

Has anyone heard anything on which way Franklin might be leaning? I know he likely will only make an announcement if he is going to return, but hopefully he has confirmed things either way with the coaching staff so they can know what their needs in the portal will be.

I was watch this idiots in sports and Biggest mistake moments where they showed jerks in sports, people prematurely celebrating a victory early and bad calls by refs or officials; mainly soccer, baseball, basketball.

So at the 1:10 mark into the video, was Sam Brunelle (think they called her Sarah Brunelle) was what they called over charged foul on an opponent overhyping the injury. Was the FSU at the JPJ where the officials ejected her from the game on a player faking the injury.

Remember when I told you in that game the girl even walked out and did the mean girl wave with fingers closing to the palms/wave. Some of the calls in the video just highlight some really bad calls, but it was entertaining to see people so over confident pre celebrating to be passed at the line.

Felt bad for the guys that are racing to score in Hockey or the girl that falls down in the lead just feet away or soccer screw ups wide open.

Don't shoot the messenger for the page logo.LOL

Deep Dive: In Part I of his State of the Program feature, @justin ferber takes a look at how UVa has moved through three phases of the Tony Bennett era and outlines the ups and the downs.

Early started and gave up a home run on his first pitch but then went 6.2 innings allowing just 3 singles. He had a career best 10 strike outs. Hodorovich came in relief and gave up 2 runs on 2 doubles in the 8th. Tonas pitched the 9th and allowed 2 hits but 0 runs. Teel had 3 singles and 1 RBI in 5 at bats. Didawick had a 2-run home run to left in the 2nd and a RBi triple to right in the 7th. Anderson was 2 for 4 with a RBI, and O'Ferrall was 2 for 5 with 2 RBi.

Coon hit one over the centerfield fence in the first inning. Bigham is pitching for the Cavs and has 7 Ks and 2 groundouts. I am switching to baseball.

Is there a bigger whiner?

TN squashed them the last 8 minutes, and Coach crier was totally out coached by Rick Barnes, Was not close on the coaching. I suppose I am supposed to pull for ACC teams, but I can never pull for Duke, or VA Tech.

Don't get me wrong I wanted us to win and keep going but this team since about after the first 6 games has been so frustrating to watch that it has given me more frustration than pleasure watching them play. I was glad to see KS have a good game but look ay the opposition. He should have been dominate against this team. I hope he comes back but his still has to improve his game so much, All his points were on dunks and put backs and his foul shooting, which he is good at. He still must prove he can do that against a real center. Don't get me wrong I loved that he did what he did but he is a example of the frustration I feel with this team. We will be young next year and maybe that will free TB up some with his rotations of players and force him to play the freshman. We will see. On to next year.

Four-star forward Isaiah Abraham, No. 67 overall in the class of 2024, says #UVa is one of three schools he hears from the most. He talked to @HoustonWilson about his trip to UVa last month and what he thinks of the Hoos.

With an important offseason ahead for the program, @justin ferber looks back at the year that was for UVa and breaks down some takeaways from a year full of ups and downs.

Happy NCAA Tournament Day 1! UVa and Furman will tip off at 12:40pm ET from Orlando in their first round game!

We’ll have updates here throughout today’s game, as always, have at it!

So if you had to pick a player that you thought would jump first who would it be ? I will start ...CLARCK LOL

Well, at least one Virginia school won a national title (and a cameo from both Pete Gillen and Mike Brey who are doing the post game on CBS)

Almost two years ago I stopped attending and watching UVA basketball games. My frustration with Tony’s use of Clark was more then I cared to deal with. I did however track some of the games on the internet and on this site. No question, Kihei is a decent ball player and he has achieved some admirable stats. However I believe the trade off (over the past few seasons)has been a net negative to the overall team performance.
The two guard offense that CTB ran last season was supported by front line of NBA talent. And what did we a achieve, an early elimination from the NIT. Wow!
I look forward to next season. I hope most of our guys return. But most importantly I hope CTB reflects on his performance as our coach. He can and must do better.
I’ll we watching and attending.
Go HOOS!

thanks

Thank heavens for the 'Canes. Only ACC team left and frankly they have been the best conference team all year so not surprised they crunched Indiana tonight. I think they can beat Houston.

Miami beats IU comfortably scoring 85 points to 69. Least the acc got one team in the sweet 16. Got a difficult draw coming up with Houston and Texas if they make the EE. Miami plays REAL small ball, playing quick and looking to score. Nothing like our small ball—different speed than Clark, BVP, Gardner and company. High speed and no hesitation to shoot, continuously looking to score.

8 bids (no conference had more). 6 teams already out, with 2 to play today.

At what point are these computer rankings that rank that league so high during the season, going to be tweaked?

And I’m not advocating that the ACC should have gotten more in this year. Clearly we haven’t made a case that more should have gotten in than did.
