Moxball!
Sad i had to miss out on this game.
17 on the game now, so they improved a bit, and at least they have more Assists than TOs. Only hitting 50% of FTs, though. Close game late.
Edit - Hitting 44% now. If they could hit FTs, this game would be over.
I think they have hit 1 of 10 in the 4th so far… terrible FT shooting. Maybe 2.
Announcers just said no FGs in the past 5 minutes for either team. Not a good game.
GT is hitting 27% from the floor on the game. I’m going to assume UVA has been playing great D.
I know Amanze hit one and so did Mo. So we’ve made 2… ![]()
I mean, in the last minute or so, we’ve see UVA go 1/4, which means they were a blistering 7/14 prior to that. Ugh.
GT just had a steal then break away and two players both missed wide open lay-ups. When UVa finally caught up they got the rebound on the second awful missed lay-up.
There we go. Mo has the clutch gene.
Wow… what a stupid offensive foul by UVA.
Turned the ball over and no time off the clock.
GT has 14 seconds to tie it after the time out.
Lucky to come out with a win there.
Cant believe they pulled that out. Solid defense by Brown at the wnd.
5-0 in conference is huge
Was ugly start to finish.
Jeeez…. we had no business being in that situation.
But it’s a win. Fine. Move on. Get Smith back.
In-conference road wins are always valuable. Plus, GT’s somehow 2-2 in the ACC including a win over ranked ND so this might be a better win than GT’s record suggests.
Edit - Yeah, holy moly, GT had a rock-crusher of an OOC slate. Georgia, St Johns, Florida, West Virginia, Texas A&M, Princeton (currently leading the Ivy and ranked), and Jacksonville (3rd in ASun).
That GTteam is good they were d9wn double digits and came back to win. They play hard
Per Torvik, we’ve finally turned the corner on WAB – that number is positive for the first time all year (at 0.1). (The UMBC loss by itself was -0.98, and prior to these last 2 weeks we hadn’t done anything meaningful to claw that back.)
I also see that 9 of our 11 remaining games are against teams he rates at #53 or better. It’s about to get real!
Our Torvik game scores are all good (89 or higher)….until you get to that UMBC game score of 5. Just because I like kicks to the junk, I looked up our 2018 loss to UMBC and that was an 8.
The distribution of game scores is a little different in WBB on Torvik. For example, #20 USC women have a Barthag (essentially average game score) of .9829 while the #20 Iowa men are at .9294.
