It has been 74 games since Virginia last lost back to back games (Wisconsin, Wisconsin GB). That's over two calendar years without dropping two straight. This was a tough and confusing week of basketball -- questions from TB's subbing patterns to our Seniors' heart to the team's collective will or interest in the game. Adversity is a good thing. And with a tough game coming against Miami, the skid may even hit L3. But the season is not lost. In fact, the regular season is only half over. For those with memories that don't stretch past last Monday, this same team we're declaring flat-lined after today has beaten Villanova, California, and West Virginia within the past month. I'm the first in line to amen everyone's suggestions that we need to rebound better, shore up rotations, see those not named LP, MB, or AG be more effective on offense, etc. But, it's early January. Areas to improve are to be expected. Sure, they seem more glaring today than they did after a great performance against ND last Saturday. But let's take a collective breath. These next few months are going to be fun to watch. We have a highly talented and experienced team and a highly effective coach. Growth will happen with a tough ACC schedule. Hopefully enough growth to give the team momentum come March to make some noise.
Trust the process.
