1, 15, 41

I know there are numerous ways to memorialize the slain football players, but a thought came to me while watching the Ohio St and Michigan football game. What would be your thoughts if UVA coaches recognized great effort in a football game with a helmet sticker simply with the numbers 1-15-41? Would be an ever present way to memorialize these outstanding young men.

Preview: No. 3 UVa faces Michigan tonight in Ann Arbor

Preview: No. 3 UVa will close out its time in ACC/Big Ten Challenge with its first true road game of the season tonight when the Wahoos face Michigan (9:30 p.m., ESPN). @justin ferber has our breakdown of the matchup in Ann Arbor.

Did some scouting Houston's team and looking over last year's loss to them by 20pts.

So, I went back and caught some of the highlights of last year's game that we lost by 20 at the beginning of last year. Some things that stuck out from that game was Gardner struggled down in the blocks both on Defense and offense. Undersized against their athletic and taller forward. Both Franklin and Beekman were a combined 0-7 from 3pt land. Clarke was 2-2 from three and Stattmann was 2-3 from 3pt line.

Here was the scoring break down for the top 7 scorers with more than single digit minutes on the floor:
1 Franklin - 11
2 Clark - 8
3 Stattmann -8
4 Beekman - 6
5 Gardner - 4
6 Shedrick - 4
7 Cafarro - 3
The remaining 5 from the bench that came in had a combined total of 3 points (coleman-2, Murray-1)

Houston out rebounded us that day by 4 rebounds: Houston 10-OB, 24DB; UVA 10-OB, 20DB.

Here's Houston's stat sheet and roster for this year:

G - Sasser --------- 6'2" ------- 16.6 ppg
F - Walker -------- 6'8" -------- 12.4 ppg
G - Mark ---------- 6'5" -------- 10.6 ppg
F - Roberts ------- 6'7" -------- 9.4 ppg
G - Arceneax ----- 6'5" -------- 9.0 ppg
G - Shead --------- 6'1" --------- 7.2 ppg
G - Sharp --------- 6'3" --------- 4.3 ppg

They have only one person over 6'8" on their squad that is listed as a 6'9", 250lbs, Center named Bowser who averages 4 minutes a game, with zero points, rebounds, nothing.

I see this as a completely different outcome from last year's 20pt loss due to our core experience, along with shooting this year versus last year's bricks from the 3pt line. Also with Shedrick's play at 6'11" and their tallest guys are 6'8" and below should be like last nights match up against UMES with plenty of alley oop dunks from Clark feeding and others all night.

Add in BVP at 6'8" and scoring ability, McKneely scoring, Dunn's ability and size at 6'8" and Cafarro's improvement and size at 7'1". Our bench scoring is 10 times better than last year so I think if we play like we have the last 5 games we walk away with a win against Houston!

Houston reminds me of Baylor that use their athletic/physical play and aggressiveness with one on one style scoring versus team play like us.

If Franklin, Beekman, Clark, McKneely, BVP start hitting open 3s it should leave Shedrick and Cafarro one on one with smaller defenders to get into foul trouble early.

FREE THROWS, FREE THROWS, FREE THROWS!!!! Sam Brunelle hit 4-4 tonight to stay 12-12 perfect from the FT line! 8-0 first time in 30 years!

The girls are clicking and look like the Debbie Ryan style players. Love how they stroke on fast breaks.

Sam Brunelle a perfect 12-12 from the line this year!

Amazing how many 3pt assassins on this team.

8-0 to start was noted that first time in 30 years! GO LADY HOOS!

NCAA Soccer Tourneys

Starting a new thread just for men’s and women’s results.

The men’s team is up 1-0 at the half against Marshal in.the 2nd round. As the 4 seed, they can continue playing at home until the college cup if they avoid an upset.

The 3-seed women’s team plays 2-seed Penn St in the sweet sixteen at 5:00.

All games are being broadcast on ESPN+.

Fall Playoffs

The women’s soccer team is ranked 8th in country and seeded 4th in the ACC tourney . They host Duke today in the quarterfinals at 8PM. The game is on ACCN. If they win they play the #1 seed UNC on Thursday.
The field hockey team is ranked 5th in country and seeded 3rd and they host Louisville in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at 6PM. The game will be broadcast on the ACCN.
Men’s soccer is ranked 18th in country and seeded 4th so they have a bye in the first round. They’ll host the winner of NC St – Pitt next Sunday. I assume the game will be on the ACCN.
Panorama Farms hosted the ACC cross country championships the other day. (They’ll host the NCAA championships next year which is cool.) Men’s cross country finished 6th and the women finished third - though it was a distant 3rd – as NC State continues to dominate women’s cross country, winning their 7th consecutive ACC title. Regionals and Nationals remain though UVA won’t be competitive at that level.
The volleyball season still has a few weeks left and, while UVA improved this season they are still near the bottom of the table. They are .500 (overall) on the year and did beat VT the other day so the Hokies are in last place (and UVA got Commonwealth Cup point).

SO MUCH for the Mac Brown mystique!

ESPN darling Mac Brown's UNCheat team loses to NCState in OT despite State having tons of injuries. So happy for Mac and his overrated coaching. His team has folded at the end of the year again as he deserves. ESPN talking heads are about to puke. I have always said he is an overrated coach, all his 5 star receuits can not overcome his stupidity.
