🏀 UVa Men’s Basketball - February 2024

And they were 8-10 last night.

Good to see Rohde 2-3 (3-4 had the pass gotten to him a half-second earlier).

7 games left in the regular season, how do we see this playing out?

I’m going with:

Pitt: W
Wake: W
@ VT: L
UNC: W
@ BC: W
@Duke: L
GT: W

Will UVA be in this week’s AP Top 25?

The teams ranked 16-25 all lost this past week, as did 2 of the 5 unranked teams in front of us. Only St Mary’s, Indiana State, and Colorado State did not lose. We went from outside the field of 68 last week in Bracket Matrix to a consensus #9 seed going into last night’s game. Hard to imagine not being ranked this week.

We’re 16th in the country in overall 3P% (38%).

But 297th in the country in 3P rate (only 32% of our attempts are from three).

I though we would split @ FSU, @ VT, @ Duke, @ BC and I thought FSu and Duke would be the losses.

I am sure VT will have their best game of the year against us, but I feel surprisingly confidence that we win there and @ BC. We will see about Duke.

If we went up against a team with two ~50% 3pt shooters (Groves ranks 4th in the country; McKneely is 11th), plus a bench guy who’d be up there as well if he had more volume, I’d be more than a little worried. If that team also had two likely draft picks – and not the 3pt snipers, but two other guys – and you told me the team is also a beast on defense… well, that sounds like a team that’s going to beat us.

I wouldn’t want to play Virginia right now.

I think VTs season ended yesterday and I hope they lose some of their urgency now

Reece just needs 5 more steals for the UVA career record. He also has a real chance at Crotty’s single season assist record, would need 4 postseason games at this pace.

Post season include ACCT? Going to miss Beeks next year

Yeah…31 regular season games. He’d need 35 total at this pace to catch Crotty. Actually at the current pace, he’d fall one assist short…but he’d get it haha.

Difference is Crotty only had 32 games in his record season. Averaged 6.7 to Reece’s 6.1.

What pace did Crotty teams play at though?

Setting 3PA threshold to 25, these represent the ACC’s top three 3P%.

Good point. 2 of 3 non-seniors on list are Hoos. That’s cool.

Those guys have their tails between their legs after the Cooley stuff. They’re looking for friends. Ain’t gonna find any here.
