All the bracketologist want to talk about is what UVa didn’t do. How about what they DID do! Beat Florida on a neural floor and an outright 3rd place finish in the ACC, with 0 quad 3,4 losses. This is NOT a bubble resume. ACC disrespect is out of control! Unless you’re Clemson!
We’ll have a lot to talk about next pod. A painful day, but remember joy comes in the morning. Choose to support.
This team is simply not as talented as the dukes, Carolina’s, etc Be thankful they are even on the bubble! Be upset this is where the talent has fallen to. Both
Maybe it’s just getting older, but the losses sting less and the saying don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened rings through.
@UVABaseball
thank you for the wonderful season and memories! Go Hoos!
How about our Lady Hoos! Huge win over the Hokies! 4 wins over ranked teams this season. Also nice way to end for

Just interviewed one of the all time greats to wear the orange and blue! Podcast will drop soon. So many great stories about many different athletes! Thank you Junior for being so generous with your time!
Big game for the Hoos tonight. We must continue to protect our home court. Miami isn’t having the season they wanted but they are well coached and talented. It’s going to be a battle! Check out our predictions later.
What is tomorrow’s headline???
Survive and advance.. wasn’t pretty but it rarely is! 66-60 final. A lot of heart and resilience. Will have to be loads and loads better tomorrow or they’ll get embarrassed! Enjoy this 1 though!

.
“I just believe in the vision that they have.”
He explains his decision.
Kansas State transfer Dai Dai Ames has committed to Virginia, his agent Jack Lieb of Fraction told ESPN. Tony Bennett gets a former ESPN 100 prospect who averaged 5.2 points and 2.0 assists as a freshman with the Wildcats.
I’ve been around enough “football people” to know who’s in it for the betterment of the kids & game.

is doing it right! Such a heathy energy from the staff & players. Wishing them nothing but the best!!

Credit where credit is due. Taine was really solid tonight. Additionally, Coach Bennett didn’t force Rohde for 35 minutes tonight even though he struggled early. Here our complete thoughts on the episode that will be released Friday morning!
HOOS WIN!!! The Hoos open the Charlottesville Regional with a victory over Penn! We will face either Mississippi State or St. John's, Saturday, at 6 p.m.!

To kill time till tipoff, name your favorite UVa basketball player that most have forgotten! I’ll start the party with …. Todd Billett.. who you got?!?!?

What a wonderful win tonight for the Hoos! Big lifts from Harris, Minor, and Buchanon! He won’t get as much love as the others but some big baskets down the stretch in traffic. Shots he was previously missing or fumbling away. Beating Hokies never gets old! Go Hoos
I do not believe I have ever seen 1-11 from the foul line before. Lucky to get the win today. Dunn not much offensively, but his defense was fire. 7 Blocked shots! A win is a win.
Tell me a quarterback you expect to break out in 2024. It can be an established starter who has flown under the radar and is ready to pop, or a younger player from whom you expect big things.
I'll go first.
Anthony Colandrea/Virginia
He's nifty with his legs, can extend plays
Well, on to the next target. I never felt he was a great fit anyway. Those so upset, understand this, the scholarship will be filled by someone else. It isn’t as if we lost him and have no one. When we get “our guy”, we’ll all be thrilled! Go Hoos! In Tony We Trust!
The coaching staff is crushing the offseason. We’ll see how many wins that translates to next year, but something special is brewing. I hope patience isn’t required, but if it is, remember where the program was after the tragedy and just embrace the positive trajectory. Go Hoos!

To pass time till the big game, what’s your FAVORITE UVa V. Duke moment or game in any sport? We’ll start. The 95 team coming back from down 40-19 at half to win in Double OT! Go Hoos!
Virginia’s Malik Washington has constantly shown off his route running prowess at the East-West Shrine Bowl. Subtle movements and fancy footwork have made him a terror with his stem work.
20 minutes to show you want to play in the tournament.
Honestly, if you can’t get THIS one, while I still think deserving, will anyone believe we’re worthy outside of C-Ville???
Tough loss for
@UVABaseball
today, but 2 out of 3 is a good weekend. To state the obvious, it will be tough IF we get to Omaha to win it once we’re there IF our pitching can’t go deeper than a handful of guys. Physical mistakes are fixable but mental game is much harder to fix.
Well .. teased it earlier, but who wants to hear from
@WoolfolkJay
Jay Woolfolk?!?! Well that interview will drop tomorrow morning! Great kid! Super humble! You’re NOT going to want to miss this one! Go Hoos!
@UVABaseball
He loves us, he loves us not, he loves us, he loves us not. I’ll believe the Chrystal Ball when I hear it from him. It’s about the 643rd time this has happened with him. Didn’t celebrate yesterday, won’t mourn today! Go Hoos!
