I don’t think I snuck into any background shots or B-roll, but here’s to hoping.

I love that we’ve got a couple of long-time Hoo fans on the team.

When I saw this tweet, I first thought @HoozGotNext was saying that Tony would be crying thinking about all this offseason hype. :joy: :joy:

Then after watching it a couple times I noticed Boeheim, and thought - “oh the Cuse game. They were talking about the Cuse game.”

Hearing them say “i was really young” about a game in 2014 really makes me feel old

Same exact feeling. I was like, that game was in 2014, which was only like 5 or 6 years ago…

This past week, I pulled out a portable hard drive on which I have stored multiple seasons of Virginia’s games using the MP4 format. I downloaded several of the 2014 games to a thumb drive which I can plug into my TV to watch. The Syracuse game remains a fun one. Especially with how loud the JPJ was for that game and its effect on Dick Vitale. I also really like re-watching the UNC game. I was there for that one, and I think that was the game when we knew Virginia was going to be really special that year. One of the downsides was that Mike Hogewood was covering one of the games. I had forgotten about him. Now I kinda miss him, too.

Will say the layout for these livestream threads on desktop is brutal. Just a giant void of blank space in the middle of the screen lol.

I am sure that it has happened before but nice humble brag though D.

That isn’t a humble brag (i.e., false humility), he is straight up proud, as he should be

Only like 5 mins in but I like the amount of practice content. And we get to see how Odom addresses things he doesn’t like in practice.

I was worried Malik Thomas could be the possible attitude problem of the rentals. That was incorrect.

Someone get Matt Hart a custom AI to help with his analytics tagging. Jessssuuussss that’s tedious.

The segment about his sister…man. Thought it was handled very well.

Also, going full tourist in DC - underrated! Museums are great.

Not sure computer vision is quite there with that yet, and I’m sure their tags are very custom to their style of play. Though I would guess he’s using Hudl Sportscode (or something comparable), which does employ computer vision techniques to help automate parts of performance analysis.

Also, salute to my man (and his spouse) for doing the I64 grind with coach’s hours AND peds ED doctor hours.

Yeah, it said Sportscode on the upper left. Which I knew because I paused it for 5 minutes to stare at the stats, every time they showed them. :eyes:

Elijah had the highest steal rate! (of the guys I could see)
