Noticed this in a lot of games but I love the body language of this team. They’re always hyping each other up, high fives, small stuff. Can’t image a better team for Chance to learn to be a leader on

Twitter was having some fun with the 42-9 screenshots :joy:

Because of a combination of GT’s defense rates badly and this was a SUPER high possession game (79! More than the double OT Notre Dame game) this was actually rated as our tenth best adjusted offensive performance of the season on Torvik despite scoring 90+ vs a conference foe

Yeah - I’m certain that’s not length and athleticicsm and speed or anything different than our other guys.

On the other hand, 3rd best D performance despite giving up 68 to GT.

I think it’s hard to take anything away from this game other than Georgia Tech is really bad.

Also they are competitive with Ndongo on the floor - biggest plays of the game might have been his 2 early fouls - was 7-3 when he went out and was 24-5 when he returned and effectively over.
He had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in the 2nd half.

Georgia Tech was really bad. We played really well for a good stretch in the first half. Both can be true here.

Yes- I didn’t mean put all the bench players in at once. That doesn’t help anyone. 3-4 starters and 1-2 role players is a good combo for games like that. De-risk injury and get valuable mins for role players. Those sloppy-blowout games often end up with someone injured and we need to avoid that. Hoping Tillis just bumped knees. Go ‘Hoos.

Ndongo got eaten up when he played. Conceding fouls, getting his pocket picked, blocked at the rim… tripping over the back of TDR’s feet trying to chase him down.

His contributions were junk time.

This was a full-fledged throttling and then cruise control.

Hoop Explorer game report, including net pts (basically an attempt to divide up the credit/blame for the point differential): hoop-explorer.com/MatchupAnalyzer?adjImpactStats=false&factorMins=true&gender=Men&impactPerGame=true&showImpactBreakdown=true&team=Virginia&year=2025%2F26&

Dallin and TDR are the obvious headliners, but Grünloh with another good game.

They seemed to have completely given up TBH. It was downright sad at times. We were literally just calling our shots most of the game … do I want an open 3, a routine driving layup, lob pass, …. hmmm.

Yes that was maybe the worst power conference team performance I’ve seen.

Buuuttttt I’m not going to be sad about Thijs and Malik getting back in a groove. Nothing wrong with a slump buster, and we could very well look back at this next week and say this game was big for getting them out of their own heads.
