UVA stunk up the joint of Saturday afternoon at FSU. Singletary was resigned to wild drives to the basket and fallaway three pointers. There was little ball movement, UVA didn't find it necessary to dictate the pace of play, and was run out of the gym by the only advantage FSU possessed, athleticism.
I don't know what I was expecting last night, at home, against BC, but Virginia played an energized game, making early stops, building a comfortable first half lead, and trading 2nd half baskets for a 14 point win. UVA shot well (52%), and was 12-21 from 3. Sadly, the game was preempted for the Wizz on Comcast, but I taped the replay and plan on reviewing tonight (hopefully) to see if ball movement led to open shots, or we were aggressive on the boards.
7-6 in the ACC, I am shocked. Leitao may receive a 10 year extension.

ESPN did a compare & contrast two "mystery" teams tonight.
The teams had comparable RPIs, Team B had a slightly easier SOS; the records vs the top 50 RPI were similar (3-8, 2-8).
Team A was Arkansas, Team B is Virginia.
Arkansas, by most accounts, are on the bubble but in. If they are in, then Virginia is close behind. A couple more may do it.
