Favorite game of my lifetime outside of the ncaa tourney. The energy in that building was unlike anything weāve seen since and we capped it off with a buzzer beater. Perfection

Loved that game a hamdful of us from my HS team went and when we walked into school the next day you would have thought we won the game.

Surprised this one hasnāt come up yet but the Joe Harris game against Duke in 2013. Legendary performance and got to storm the court (the horror 
)
Cuse the next year and the Brogdon senior year UNC game already mentioned are also on my list

My wife was pregnant with our now almost 23 year old that game, and when Hall dunked I scared her so bad it caused the baby to start kicking

Some (ok most if not all) remember that as the Joe Harris gameā¦.
For me it was the Justin Anderson (post)game

Not in Hooville but mine that I was at are:
-
2016 NCAA round of 32 game against Butler in the madness. Butler center - Andrew Chrabascz was killing us in the first half and early 2nd ā 24 points in first 23 minutes of the game ā and finally Brogdon told Coach he was going to guard him. Hoos came back behind Brogdon, Gill and Shayok to score 54 points in the second half and pull it out. Those 3 scored 39 combined in the 2nd half. The most amazing offensive half of basketball against a really good team in a high-pressure situation, after being held to 23 in the first half.
-
Tomas Woldetensae game winner at UNC in a sea of baby blue. A very quiet 45 minute ride home with my Tarheel friend driving. I tried to feel bad for him, but I was smiling inside profusely.
-
2023 ACC semifinal blowout win over Clemsonā¦ simply enjoyable from start to finish.
-
OT win at Wake when Huff hit a huge go ahead 3 in the last minute.
Edit - I will also say the first round game in 2016 against Hampton (my home town) was so enjoyable as well and a ton of Virginia fans there to celebrate with.

Lot of choices but one that stands out is January 1989, beating UNC at U-Hall 106-83. The Richard Morgan game (39 points).

This isnāt relevant to UVA but Iāll always remember #4 cause about 15 mins later the news broke that Kobe passed away. Iāll always remember where I was during that game and that moment.

Shouldāve included this in my earlier post but one of my favorite memories wasnāt a huge game or anything. Just went to the November 2017 Monmouth game with a friend who doesnāt follow as closely as those on this board. Watches most games but has no idea about recruiting or draft projections or anything like that. The guy saw DeāAndre hunter in shoot around and said something to the effect of āthat kid is a future first round pickā. Lo and behold Dre put up 20+ that game. And as we all know the rest is history

Man I am such a hater right now but Iām so confused how a player who plays regularly can be -9 on the season on a 20 win team.

Shoot like we did 2nd half vs BC and replace Harris with Gertrude and we make the final four. Kinda kidding.

I really like prediction markets. People put their money where their mouth is, and you figure out who knows whatās going on in the world while also having the best predictive data for future events like who will win the presidential election.
I would love if we had a score keeping system of sorts on this board for the many types of predictions we see. And Iād love if people would put probabilities on their predictions (instead of the dreaded āI think itās more likely than people realizeā oh my god what is other peopleās probability estimate and how much does yours differ by?).
So when I joked about starting hoosbets.com and saw that several people clicked on the non-existent link I decided today to create a prediction market for the UVA/Duke game. Not the result, Vegas odds give us that probability, but the more important question:
Will Gertrude play any non-garbage time? (definition in the market description)
I used a site called manifold markets which is just play money bets. The market seems to automatically start at 50%. I bet a small amount āNOā and that pushed it to 47%.
Click above and sign up and you can make your bet. If this market gets any interest (longshot, Iād put the odds at 5% ) I will post more markets for the season results and other games.
EDIT: This is different than and better than a poll because if this were asked as a poll, everyone who thought the odds were 51%+ yes would vote yes and the 51%+ no people would vote no. But we wouldnāt actually get an estimate of the fansā probability. That is to say, 90% of people voting yes wouldnāt imply a 90% probability at all.
Who are the top 3 in plus minus per 40?
