🏀 2025-26 In-Season UVa Basketball Thread

Lmaooooo. You read that on here.
Capel is comically bad as a HC.

2 possessions IN A ROW with under 2 minutes left in the game, and Pitt lets over 20 seconds tick off the shot clock before fouling. That’s some “screw this, I’m getting my buyout money in March” level of floor coaching right there.

The Capel noise always seemed like something his camp was putting out

Took them money line in a 6 leg parlay. That was the leg that missed :skull_and_crossbones:

The NET? AP poll usually comes out around midday

NET were 16. Think he’s talking about coaches poll or something

Most models have us top 20. We should get ranked this week, but worried not enough teams have fallen out in front of us. A lot of people gunning for Kentucky’s spot lol

I’m an idiot. Thought this was a repost of the polls but it’s just their (Field of 68) own ranking

Ah, gotcha. But between that and Parrish, pretty good odds we make top 25.

Yeah, now that you say it, that’s how I remember it too.

If you can’t anonymously insult the hell out of someone on a message board, what are we even doing here?

The fighting Sharmas are in first.

Kyle Boone has us at 19 in his AP poll projection which seems generous.

Don’t really care, but it’s nice to have the number next to your name!

I like having the number because I don’t have to make an extra click to see our score or our schedule or all the stuff you have to do to see non-top 25 teams.

Congrats to the teams in the top-12 this week. One of them will win the NCAA Tournament.

I was 200+ posts behind on this thread and thought about an alternate scenario. The guys above (except Miles) coached by Sanchez vs this year’s team coached by Odom vs the small roster of alums in the NBA coached by Bennett.

Jerome, Murphy, Dunn, Hunter, Huff, Hauser and Gill. Adding Beekman and Guy would just make it unfair, so not them. Brogdon just retired. Is Key still playing in the GLeague?

Bennett coaching those 7 guys, college rules, 1 game and they slaughter any combination of the 30 other guys. But at what point in a 5 or 7 game series under either college or NBA rules would the 7 man alumni team get tired or Jerome/Hunter get hurt? I have no idea how good a basketball player 33 year old Gill is right now. This team could really use Brogdon as backcourt depth.

If every school fielded an NBA alumni team, that might be a top 10, top 15 team? Especially if you could include Beekman, Guy and Brogdon. Duke, Kentucky, Villanova, UConn, Kansas, Gonzaga, Arizona, USC, maybe UCLA, maybe Baylor, Michigan and Michigan State would have PG problems, UNC would have frontcourt issues, Florida would be really old, the all wing Arkansas lineup, the all injured FSU team, the all Centers Texas team. I’m not sure what other schools could even field a starting lineup.

The last few years I’ve picked 6 of the top 12 teams and put $10 on each to win the final. Haven’t lost yet. Payouts usually $90 - $200, so you still have a decent net.

I put bets down 1-2 weeks ago when you could kinda tell who was going to be top 12. I just looked at odds again and WOW. I think this historical precedent meant a lot of teams odds increased as of today. Wild.
