JPJ is the Field Of Dreams for half court shots. It’s magical.

Teams are a combined 15/27 from 3. UVA is blowing them out, but what is even happening? Neither team can miss outside.

D looking a little more engaged.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen face mask guarding face mask before

Wow. Good thing UVA built up a huge lead, because the wheels are totally coming off.

Edit - Fordham press is giving Cuse flashbacks. UVA hasn’t scored in 7 minutes?

UVA eventually figured things out and won by 26, though they’d led by as much as 38. Huge game by Mo, 10/13 including 6/7 from 3.

8-3 in the noncon means we have to go 7-11 in conference play in order to finish with a .500 record and be eligible for the WNIT. (Or we could go 6-12 and win two ACCT games.)

I’m guessing we’ll be favored in 3-4 games, minor underdogs in 3-4 games, and major underdogs in the other 10-12… something like that (this is not a formal analysis). Such a brutal schedule. We’re gonna make it though!

Massey Ratings basically agree with your assessment of the schedule: Massey Ratings - University of Virginia Cavaliers/Wahoos

The poll voters may think I’m slightly optimistic. We have 9 games against currently ranked teams, and 4 more games against teams ā€œalso receiving votes.ā€

Yeah, a little over 2/3 of their remaining games are against, at a minimum, tournament-quality teams. Going .500 against that schedule should (but probably wouldn’t) get them into ā€œothers receiving votesā€ territory, if not actually ranked.

Lots and lots of clips of half court threes. They either need to start shooting those in games, since they make a few, or start posting practice clips of shooting regular threes since they make next to none of those.

Good to see Mir on the court again regardless.

The latest ESPN bracketology lists Clemson as the ACC’s automatic qualifier (coming in as a 12-seed). So that’s a bold prediction.

Fingers crossed I’ll get to see them play Thursday at GT if we can get a sitter

10 ACC teams! Clemson as aq because they’re the current conference leaders? But then again, why not FSU? Bold prediction indeed.

5 Likes

Yeah, they just applied a lazy algorithm for the AQ, it looks like. (Conference record, then alphabetical?)

More likely, the ACC gets 9 teams in (which is still a lot!), with Clemson nowhere even close. If we do get a 10th team in, GT is probably the closest to the bubble (no bad losses yet), with Virginia next in line.

So far so good!

Cam needs to not pick up any more dumb fouls though. We can’t afford to sit her.
