We shall see. Tourney isn’t until March so they have some time to keep figuring it out, though admittedly they’ll have to figure out how to integrate those bigs without disrupting a good thing on offense, somewhat on the fly.

Feels like a very flat year at the top, in terms of likelihood to win it all. Something about Marquette makes me doubt them… Not sure why…

I looked it up. That was not what I was expecting. A couple of names in between that I was surprised didn’t make it, but did get very close.

Monica Wright 2009-10!

For the men… yeah, not who I was expecting. I thought it’d be one of a handful of folks and they all fell just short.

Since we’re talking about statistical fun, I think we should all appreciate Jay Huff for being the only UVA player to have more blocks in his career than Ralph had in the '79-80 season.

My first guess was Sean Singletary which would be the answer if you round up - he had 19.8 per game in 2008.
He finished 7 total points shy of averaging 20.
He did average 21.5 pts per game in Acc play that year which is more impressive to me.

If I’m remembering that year correctly Norm and Curt were very good, and everything else was not good.

Donald Hand, Chris Williams were both there I think without looking it up. But that wasn’t a good team, as I recall.
CORRECTION–see @haney
