🏀 Virginia vs Georgia Tech, W, 75-61, 12-12 (5-8 ACC), Saturday, 8 February 2025, 1730, The CW

Was the whole TB ceremony in total darkness or just the huggin’?

I expected to see his parents on oxygen and riding Hoverounds based on the message boards.

The darkness is a metaphor for the next 4 years of UVa Basketball,

Tony really hates the spotlight and requested the ceremony be in the dark.

I know it matches the Holland banner, but the TB banner still looks like a memorial. Feels like they should be pairing it with some t-shirts with airbrushed TB pics and some inspirational message about being gone but never forgotten.

It’s hard to believe Tony was here for 15 years.

And even harder to believe that Kihei was part of 13 of those years.

I’m wearing my "Virginia Is Where the Banner Is’ t-shirt rn. The Tony Bennett banner.

I like how CW kept it on for the creepy TB solo spotlight dance portion and cut out for the interesting speech. Part. Thanks CW

Wonder if those former players told this correct crew that they’d best win this game tonight. I’d be nervous playing in front of that whole group.

If we were wearing orange, we beat our next coach’s team in 2018.
