🏀 UVa Men’s Basketball - February 2024

It’s not the colors that make me sad. It’s that the old jerseys had the faded rotundas on the back and I thought that was such a cool and unique touch. Individual flair and personality to the jerseys.

The ones currently are literally generic nike jerseys. Like the hokie jersey is literally the same as ours but just color swapped.

Just seeing this conversation. Yeah, our uniforms totally suck. Look like a form of UConn. No orange at all.

Precisely - these uniforms inspired and had character that was deeply personal to the University. Not a lazy cookie cutter cut and paste.

I’m still chuckling at you calling everyone on this thread “lame” “dweebs.” The old fart is coming out guns blazing :joy:

I said it was lame, not that you can’t talk about it. Talk all you want — that’s all you do anyway.

Road woes = 69% on the road vs. ACC teams in the past 10 years. If that’s woeful….

Most teams would kill to win 7/10 at home vs conference opponents.

@brainfish2 give this a listen, at about the 6:30 mark Tony is talking about the guys who have worked into the rotation (Taine, Jordan and Dante back from injury) says Dante is “still recovering” so you may be right over in the other thread about his ankle.

I was speaking of a few blowout road losses this season. You probably remember them.

Did you just get fired or broken up with? Figure out you’re being cheated on?

You took my post way more seriously than I did. Relax. It’ll be OK.

I don’t think I called any specific poster, or everyone, anything. If someone felt that the remarks were directed at them, I can’t help that. That said, I’m out of this until the discussion returns to UVa basketball.

In that case, forgive me for mischaracterizing. Thought you were having some lighthearted fun, but you were not.

Super angsty in here. Like a middle school bus ride. McKneely’s light saves all though

Interesting. Andy Katz doesn’t usually like us much, but he put us at #12 in his Power 36 ranking for the week. He’s high on the ACC and says Virginia and Dook are playing the best in the conference. For what it’s worth.

Bennett said on the coach’s show that Christian Bliss had surgery on his ankle. Said it had been planned for a couple months, timed for now so he could be fully recovered by June when summer practices start.

It’s around 31:00 or so in, talks about Bliss and Anthony Robinson a little in response to a fan question.

It must have been cool for the current team to get to meet one of the guys from the 2019 championship team. They’ve probably heard a lot about him
