Yeah...Cooney..the man sposed to drain the 3's.....It's supposed to rain nothing but pure net.

The boy went 0-7...o-fer.

Christmas continues to play man ball putting up yet another double/double and lead the team with 21 points.

The bench continues to come up short.

I gotta feel bad for Rak in all of this. He is a man amongst boys.

Now that was a beatdown tonight against Georgia Tech. Really hope that they can put that much of a beating or worse on the Hokies Sunday in Blacksburg!

Virginia is great fun to watch...smooth and sure...pure sweet basketball.
How in futz my Spartys beat them last S16 is a major mystery.

UVA now with a 24% chance to go undefeated according to ESPN's BPI. That's actually quite stunning considering how tough their schedule is the rest of the way. 3 road games against top 50 RPI teams, and 5 total games against the RPI top 50. 7 total against the RPI top 100. Says alot about how good this UVA team really is. Last night's performance did nothing to change my opinion of them.

If UVA can get through their schedule, Have to call them the best team. I still like Kentucky when their guards play well. I think Calipari is not happy with the Harrison"s play.

So that means they have a 76% chance of being beaten in the ACC. I tell you what. I'll take the 76% and say they will lose at least once. I'll bet that in Vegas every single day of the week.

No way we go without a loss over the next 4 games. Wouldn't be shocked if we went 2-2. If they get through these next unscathed, they are definitely the best team in the country.

Really going out on a limb there predicting they'll lose. Odds are they will lose before the ACC Tournament. I mean its been almost 40 years since a power 5 conference team ended the regular season undefeated. I mean they are favored to win every game, and basically have a one in four chance of going undefeated. That's pretty incredible when you think about it. It says ALOT about them.

UVA_Guy81 · Jan 23, 2015

If UVA loses in that tough four game stretch, I'm thinking it'll be one of the road games at UNC or NC State. They play great at the JPJ arena.

UVA is insane. But what does games against RPI top 50 really mean? That they play games against teams who have good resumes, and nothing more.

I think @ND might end up being their most impressive win in the ACC. They will beat Duke down at home. Louisville just isn't very good. Notre Dame is a lot closer to Duke for the 3rd best team in the ACC than I ever thought they would be, and winning @ ND is one of the toughest road wins in the country. I guess UNC is playing well too, but.....ewwww. No chance they can handle such a disciplined defense.

I'm scared we might end up with UVA vs. Kentucky final. There might end up being < 40 points scored total in the national championship game.

an example of why i say this is VCU's rpi is 4. RPI means literally nothing unless you are comparing two seemingly even tournament or bubble teams

An RPI top 50 game is generally against a team that's going to make the NCAA Tournament or is in serious contention to do so. I would consider that a quality game/win.

Yes, VCU has an RPI of 4. Are they the 4th best team in the country, probably not. There are other metrics that could be put into question as well. Ken Pom has Florida at #42, which of course I don't believe they are. IMO the RPI is still a great way to measure the quality of teams.

I'm pretty sure trolly went into this last year, but an RPI rating says nothing about a team apart from what their schedule has looked like, or am I wrong about that?

is up with Va Tech today?

We have very quickly gone from a typical slow UVA game at 24-13 to a high paced Valo Tech run to make it 26-25.

What channel is it on? Can't find it anywhere

I wouldn't worry. We're still dribbling off our feet out of bounds. You're not scoring, but we're not getting shots.

Without Bibbs, I'll be pretty shocked if we keep it close in the 2nd half
