This is just me talking. I am 77, have been a student at UVA and longtime fan and sufferer but eternal optimist. I am down in the dumps about our sudden exit from the tournament for a lot of reasons. One is having to face another dismal football season next fall. This spring has been disaster in baseball(so far) plus our tennis teams while still good aren't as good. Our lacrosse teams are better but not like a few years ago.A resurgence in some of these sports in the coming weeks will help restore hope and spirits.
As far as the basketball team is concerned we lost to a better team on Sunday. I believe CTB and the players will learn from it and be better for it. We have a lot to be proud of, and the best is yet to come. We have a winning program not just a winning team. CTB has built the program for the future as well as the present. We are blessed to have him witness his COY award.
It is true our offense was off for the last part of the season. We need better three point shooting. We need JA to come back. His injury hurt our offense in some many ways. He was far from his normal self in the tournament. If everyone on the team works as hard as he did last summer to improve, great things are ahead for us.
Lastly, Michigan State put everything in our game last year and had nothing left in the tank. It will be interesting to see if they have anything left this year. If not, it shows that he put all his marbles in the Virginia basket last year and this year. Regardless, M State played a great game to beat us.
I do have a basketball hangover, but I have never been prouder of our team, our coach and our fans. Hold your head high
