Gotta avoid the bad losses this year. They showed last year they can compete no matter who they’re playing, but consistency is the biggest issue.

They’ve also given her a signature sandwich, so I gave it a try. Thumbs up.

Not a drill, Torvik now has WBB analytics up: NCAAW T-Rank - Customizable College Basketball Tempo Free Stats - T-Rank
Has UVA #33 preseason; we finished at #64 last season in his rankings. 2024 team page here: https://barttorvik.com/ncaaw/team.php?team=Virginia&year=2024
Lots of essential stats on his pages that are hard to find otherwise in the WBB media space, both at the player- and team-level. We had a much better turnover rate than I thought and much better offensive rebounding than I realized.
Just browsing, and Caitlin Clark’s player page is hilarious: T-Rank Player Stats - Customizable College Basketball Tempo Free Stats - T-Rank
She attempted 500 3s last season (20 attempts per 100 possessions)! She was at 40% usage!

Clark’s stats are just goofy.
Edit - Her consistency was otherworldly. She had 7 games all season in which her Ortg was as low as Kymora’s season average (which was not low).

Digging a little more, saw some surprising things on the team history page:
The 1-year turnaround from Tina to Mox is remarkable. That 2022-23 season grades out better in these ratings than I expected; maybe says more about how bad Tina’s teams were.
Relatedly, there’s less of a jump from 22-23 to 23-24 than I expected. But I think it was still a positive year in terms of the long-term view, with getting a decent chunk of minutes to the building block players for this season and next.

Ah okay so she was suspended because she got into an argument with someone on the staff because she did not like the way the staff “spoke about her”

Don’t know her on a personal level, but just from following the team social media page, it seems like she’s very popular with all of her teammates.
We gotta get Mr. Serena Williams to drop some money into UVa’s NIL.

I don’t know how much Reddit ownership he retained, but the share price has doubled since it IPOed this summer.
As for the reported conflict between the coaching staff and one of the players mentioned above, I’m just gonna hope it gets worked out. I really hope that our coaches aren’t bullying our players and I hope our players aren’t doing anything to get themselves suspended or dismissed.

As far as the Olivia situation goes it’s tough to make comment or judgement without having the full story or context. It doesn’t sound like a good situation for either party ans hopefully level heads will prevail.

Yeah there is clearly some sort of info missing. We may never get it, but without it it’s impossible to assess whatever exactly this situation is.

Pretty clear where @Cindylouhoos stands but like most things in life I like to have my own verification. And while everything they say might be true. That’s not been mt experience and I’d like to hear the complete story before I come after the entire program.

Right. Coming out of the woodwork after 10 months without posting just to start being cryptically critical, repeatedly so, about a program scandal no one else has yet even hinted at… obviously there may very well be an issue here, and we’ll find out about it soon enough. But clearly there’s an agenda from our recently resurfaced poster friend here; it may be a legitimate agenda, but always wait for details before letting vague accusations get carried away.
