Out of the 120 minutes of game action so far, I have visually seen around 25-30 minutes. I have listened on the radio around 40-50 minutes. I have missed the rest. I have read in detail about the team and examine boxscores. I didn't get to watch the GW game but I know a 6-0 lead was given up quickly and GW took control of the rest of the half. Gleaning from that, the early Morgan State struggles, and tonight's 22-19 deficit to Bradley, this is a team that is still searching for a fluid identity and the more they play together, the better they will get. The first and the third games produced near knots or deficits at the 20 point mark only for UVa to cavalanche most the rest of the way. This is going to take time. Two key cogs are gone and the team has to learn who they are. The good thing is, there are some amazing parts. Even if UVa had no one else, Brogdon/Gill/Perrantes are going to get you 20 wins and to the NCAAt. The keys are how well Wilkins/Hall/Thompson/Shayok progress this year. If they can steady themselves and produce the 22 ppg and 14 rpg (rough estimates) we are missing from Atkins and Anderson's departures, we will end up being damn close to as good as last year in the end. I think UVa will win this tourney and get to 5-1. I am really looking forward to the real road test after that against Ohio State.
