Go Hoos! I know not a lot of UVA love on this board but hard not to like how those guys play. And I'm sure this board can appreciate what they did against Cuse then Pitt and now Duke this year. Would be great to see them at least make the Sweet 16. I wouldn't take it personally - I think most of the lack of "love" on this board for UVA comes from a general antipathy toward the ACC, for any number of reasons. There might be some old-timers with bitter feelings about the '82 game, I suppose  Michigan State looms as a very tough third-round matchup. I don't think Nova or Iowa State pose as much of a thread as a healthy Spartans team. Hah - yeah of course I don't take it personally. Let's face it, beyond a random decent team every 6 years or so, there has been no reason for anybody to take the UVA program seriously since the mid-90's. Just crazy to me that the program has been so irrelevant for the better part of the past twenty years given that it has a good foundation in terms of decent history, top notch facilities, access to recruits, etc. I think Bennett will keep the program relevant, but glad they were able to take home some hardware this year, regardless of what happens in the big dance. Hard to look ahead to MSU, but if they get that far and go down to the Spartans, I certainly wouldn't be disappointed. As we know too well around here, a Sweet 16 run would be a heck of an accomplishment. |
