Chapel Hill. The whole world is waiting to see if UNC can win and get into the NCAA tournament.

Preview: No. 13 UVa will close out the regular season tomorrow afternoon against Louisville (2 p.m., ESPN2). @justin ferber breaks down the rematch between the Hoos and the Cards, this time on Senior Day in Charlottesville.

I was reading an article about last nights game against Clemson, and with out any intention of doing so coach Brad Brownell gave TB some advice on what could help UVA win more in the coming future. " I thought their two freshmen off the bench [ Dunn and McKneely ] were very big in the game and that was a difference " . I hope that CTB seen this as well .

Welp - the season's over unfortunately. They were only 4-14 in the ACC but finished .500 for the year. Huge improvement and a lot of very close games. I hopeful this is the start of a bright future for Coach Mox. She has some strong first years coming in and hopefully her recruiting prowess brings in a few more transfers that can immediately contribute next year.

If ND goes on to win this game it should assure us of the 2nd seed in the ACC tournament as long as we take care of Louisville at JPJ. If we had won either of those games - 3 point loss to Pitt or the 2 point loss to Miami, both at their places we would be the #1. As poorly as we have played of late, that would have been quite a feat. #2 not bad.

Apparently they have been interested in him for awhile. Hopefully, finds the right situation for his skills.

I just saw a conference bracket with Duke as a 4 seed. They are tied w Clemson and lost the only head to head game.
Is there a new tiebreaker for seeding?

On Episode 499 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“You Are Not Jim Nantz”), we discuss the win over Clemson, the tweaks UVa made to get it, the career of Kihei Clark, and much more.

Greetings from JPJ where UVa has a big one against the Clemson Tigers.

It'll be the same five starters for UVa: Clark, Beekman, Gardner, Franklin, BVP

We'll have live updates here, have at it folks.

In most statistical areas Clemson and Virginia were very close, but Virginia won the game because of one major factor - free throws. Virginia was called for 10 fouls, and Clemson made 4 of their 5 attempts. Clemson was called for 17 fouls, and the Cavs made 15 of 22. The disparity in the number of fouls committed was largely due to the last 2 minutes of the game when the Tigers played hack and hope. The stat was not obvious to me because in a close game, I tend to remember the shots that we missed.

Great profile
Why Trey Murphy III is the future of NBA’s ‘3-and-D’ archetype

NC State, led by Morsell's and Smith's woes from 3, jacked up a ton of 3s and mostly bricks and lost to Duke because of that; ESPN and NCAA Selection committee darling Kansas 5-23 late with a 3 point lead at home vs, mediocre late. It seems like a disease with teams going team cold in game, big time teams as well. zoner would think one or two players on these teams would be hoy from 3, but too often whole teams have the yips from 3.

Hearing this morning that our great coach and man has left us.

I liked the comeback by Mitchell.

in the first game Hylton once again hit a lead-off HR. Bressler gave up 1 hit in 5 innings pitched and was the winning pitcher. Virginia went long ball in the second game as Boggs hit one in the 2nd inning , and Coon, Gilbert, and Holbrook each hit one in the 4th inning. Layne was the winning pitcher.

Teel drove in all 3 runs for the Cavs with a two out, two-run single in the 3rd and a RBI double in the 7th. Early started and pitched 5 innings to get the win. Greene got 2 outs in the 6th before leaving with arm tenderness, and Tonas got the final out. Berry then pitched two innings without allowing a hit before Woolfolk retired the three batters he faced in the 9th.

Wanted to see if my eyes have been telling me the truth. Stats don't lie.

Over last 7 games (4-3) since VT laid blueprint for our small ball offense...

BVP shooting 39.6% FG, 25.9% 3s & an absolute garbage 33.3% from FT line (and hasn't made a FT in last 5 games). This while logging 28 mins/game.

Franklin not as bad but shooting 40.0% / 32.0% / 64.7% logging 31 mins/game. Problem here is he is your volume shooter/leading scorer but you can't trust him (like a Brogdon/Jerome/Guy types). He's had 3 decent games of last 7 as your lead dog. That don't cut it. Against weak competition I might add.

This team has flaws but is hurting itself continuing to play these 2 guys this number of mins in the roles they are being asked to play now. Mckneely is the one we should be running off more screens it seems.

Even if Shedrick can't return to November form (confident hitting 15 foot jumpers, catching lobs, stick backs etc) the metrics say our offense is far more effective with him on the floor. Move BVP back to 6th man where he might find a spark. And yes play dunn more. He got a stretch of about 5 mins in 2nd half and he was active and we just looked better. Coincidence that's when we played the best all night??? He went out and we scored 4 points in 10 mins after trying to mount a comeback.

BVP is a damn nice kid and was a major upgrade over what we had on bench last yr, but over last 7 games he's killing us with those damn near 30 mins.

Kudos to staff for changing things up and playing smaller, it was great for 5 games. They have to stop this. Or at least stop leading with it every game. We need to see some adjustments again. We lose to Clemson Tuesday this season is all but over. With some switching of roles again I think we might have bottomed tonight and could see a bit different team vs Clemson. Regardless of rotations, team has to play with intensity and at least that was there in the 2nd half.

Preview: After dropping two in a row on the road, No. 13 UVa looks to get back on track tonight at home against Clemson (7 p.m., ACCN). @justin ferber breaks down the matchup between two of the ACC’s top four teams.

Greetings from Chapel Hill where we’re about 30 minutes from tip-off between UVa and UNC. Still a ways til tip but a good atmosphere in here already. We’ll have updates here so have at it folks!

I was looking at some AAU basketball videos when I spotted Leitao. He is the head coach of the City Reapers team out of North Carolina. This is a very good team whose strength - surprise,, surprise - is running and gunning. If you care, he can be found on Family Business videos produced by the Ellis family.

ACC Storylines: As the last week of the regular season arrives, @justin ferber takes his final stroll around the league to check in on the storylines, seeding scenarios, and big games facing UVa and others in the ACC.

In the 8th Saucke reached base on a throwing error by the Columbia 3B. Anderson attempted to sacrifice but was credited with a hit when the catcher could not make a play on the ball. Godbout followed with a walk. Didawick then got a RBI on another walk. Rubin was robbed when the first baseman made a diving catch on a line drive. O'Ferrall hit a line drive through the third baseman's legs to plate 2 more runs. Gelof and Teel both reached on walks before Saucke hit a solid single to left field to score another run, and Anderson ended the scoring with a 3-run HR. Columbia got on the board with a home run in the top of the 9th to make the final score 9-1.
Woolfolk got the win after coming in with the bases loaded in the 8th and one out. He got a strike out and a routine fly to right field to end Columbia's bid for a win.

Listening to Sirius College this morning, they asked Jon Crispin what was wrong with our offense scoring 48 points last night. His thoughts were pretty good IMHO. He said we don’t look to score early, relying on “our efficiency will beat your efficiency”. Said we have multiple guys on this team who can score, probably better than many of our opponents. Saying we need to push the tempo, taking the opportunity to score. Said we need to play more like our 2019 team which looked to score, increasing our margin of error for winning.
