UVa men’s basketball now in post-Bennett era + tracking women & pro hoos. Hot takes, deep cuts, civil discourse, evidence of Duke’s moral decay. Unafilliated.

Don't get me wrong i LOVED the CTB era ... not sure we can ever touch '14-'19, or need to -- but it was hard work & a model the game has moved on from. So.. i can be glad for how this is shaping up NOW, while still holding Tony Bennett up as my all time biggest sports idol.

"Virginia ripped off runs of 9-0 & 11-0 to hold off a frisky Wright State that shot an uncharacteristically efficient 13-31 from 3. But the Hoos had too much firepower .. Jacari White led all scorers with 26. Raiders scored only 3 points over final 5:30" nytimes.com/athletic/71294…

I'm excited for GT I think they nailed this one. Former Troy head coach Scott Cross has a this-level winners vibe. Great for the ACC.

@HeavyLobster43 you may be right about that.

@UVaHoopsRiffs Hubert's problem is he's a good coach at a program that demands greatness. Carolina CBB coach is not a job you take if you're looking for reasonable expectations.

UVa Hoops Riffs@UVaHoopsRiffs·9h

Yeah i think the players had something to do with that. I like Hubert and regardless, he's not going anywhere.

Virginia and UNC were in similar games with 5 minutes to go with feisty, solid mid majors. Davis went into deer in headlights mode Odom said I'm going to attack with my bigs where I have an advantage Davis and UNC lost Odom and Virginia won going away

@monta10235 @nmcronk87 he NEEDS to dribble, it's what he does. no choice -- but DUMB head down dribbles into traffic... lordy. but there zero TDR offense w/o dribbles so 🤷🏽

Jorge@monta10235·10h

@nmcronk87 @UVaHoopsRiffs See what I mean about TDR dribbles?

we just lose dribbles constantly.

Blake Buchanan w 11 points 7 boards EIGHT assists (!) today for Iowa State beating former hoo teammate Dante Harris (11p 4a) and Tennessee State. Here's hoping Blake has another UVA matchup next weekend. #WahooDiaspora

Jacari White is one of the easiest guys to root for. He works so hard, and he’s just such a nice guy. He is always down to do work in the community like visiting the animal shelter (he adopted a kitten!) or read to kids. Just the best.

Vince Wolfram@vincewolfram15

Have your moment, Jacari White! 26 points leads Virginia to an 82–73 win. The OG leader of the Jacarmy shows out.

Thijs de Ridder and Johann Grünloh are in the stands scouting this Miami vs Tennessee game.

Tennessee looks VERY good. Tho on paper we are a good matchup, they have the kind of athleticism at both ends that bothers us. TEAM DEFENSE on perimeter and Turnover / Foul avoidance will be essential. Letting Gillespie get inside for dumpoffs to bigs / open treys = big fear.

@therealbdsimon thijs is our all acc guy - anything less than an A game is not good. need better from him, love to see ONE game when he didnt lose it dribbling in traffic. agree w/ you about malik but we don't win much more w/o mistake free ball. starters committed 13 turnovers!

@UVaHoopsRiffs De Ridder played well when he passed off the double. Mallory was bad all game. Thomas had good moments and awful ones. Agree with burning the tape.

If Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson can’t go… this changes everything. With him on the court, Iowa State plays like the best team in the country. Without him? They drop to 101st. That’s the 3rd-biggest net rating swing in the Big 12. And he just left with an ankle injury. 😳

@sc_hoo_1 Hall was no day at the beach. Guards other than Jacari must all play better.

ML@sc_hoo_1·12h

@UVaHoopsRiffs Mallory looked like a freshman today. Glad we had Hall back in second half to steady us.

English

UVa Hoops Riffs@UVaHoopsRiffs·13h

This team IS good / their guards are fast and aggressive on D ... Mallory dribbling looks human against them and needs to adjust or play less. Gotta RUN the offense and open up the inside. Jacari at the 18 minute mark / play him until he drops. NO TURNOVERS.

Hmmm. Unfortunate reason, but the Midwest region just got a tiny bit more open on the lower half of the draw.
