On this day, Feb. 17, in 2014, UVA was looking back on its game on the road with Clemson on Feb. 15, having used Malcolm Brogdon's 6 for 6 from the free throw line in the final 1:21 to escape with a 63-58 win. That improved UVA's overall record to 21-5 (hmmm, sound familiar?) On this day last, year, UVA was learning to play its first games without Justin Anderson, and came off a week that saw them squeeze by on the road at N.C. State (51-47 win), avoid an upset loss at home to Wake Forest when Codi Miller-McIntire turned the ball over by dribbling it into Malcolm Brogdon with 2 seconds to go to salvage a one-point win for the Hoos (61-60), then pull it together for a nice road win over Pitt on 2/16/15 by the score of 61-49. The lineups for those games looked the same as this year's lineup with the exception of Darion Atkins. That Pitt victory improved the Hoos record to 24-1.
I thought it interesting to look back on the past two years to compare where we are now, and, given our tougher schedule this year, I think, considering the overall body of work to this point in time, this team has performed as well as those teams. Something to think about while we're waiting a week for another game.
