šŸ€ Virginia vs Louisville, L, 70-50, 8-6 (1-2 ACC), Saturday, 4 January 2025, 1600, ACCN

Seems like Louisville got more bounces and rolls in the first half. Keep grinding and maybe those will go our way in the second half.

Switching on defense has put Saunders and Buchanan in some interesting 1x1 defensive matchups today! (We’ve dodged some bullets there.)

Eh.

Put someone like Ty Jerome (facilitating and scoring) or even Reece beekman (penetration and defense) on this team surrounded by those shooters and Saunders and Cofie in the post?

I think we’d be top 3 in the acc and a March madness team….at a minimum.

Our best offense is when Rohde or Murray touches the paint. Or if Saunders get the ball in the high post.

Put a pg who touches the paint at will to either score or kick out to a shorter….and you have a much more ā€œcompleteā€ team offensively.

Still missing defensive athleticism and rebounding….but you are a tourney team with that kind of pg.

Would argue that those two are far better than just decent PG’s, but that’s more semantics. Ty would absolutely will this team to a comfortable NCAAT spot, but I think that says more about how good he was than how good this team could be.

Did Bliss shave his head?

Team has talent but not experience.

Eh not sure from an ACC perspective. Would be call Blake talented? Rohde? Taine? IMac is one dimensional but a talented shooter - every team has one. Look at Cards dude. Cofie and Saunders are legit.

Taine just turn your body around the box out!

Dumb foul by Cofie

Came out sleeping. Thank you iMac.

IMac is so polarizing lol. He does so many things that frustrate you, but then makes up for it with his absolute flamethrower of a jumper.

Good things happen when you run.

We look very tired on defense but awesome run!

Love that Saunders dunk! He’s got some NBA potential

I swear to God if Ron pulls Cofie and puts in Blake right now I will black out.

Cofie and Saunders are some dawgs. That’s what we need, Louisville is soft-ish inside.

I think I see ARob at the scorer’s table on TV?

Love that he drove to the hoop and Taine set him up. Lville (understandably) thought we were setting up the half-court, Saunders caught them napping

Moving screen on the guy setting it on iMac

WTF

Why is Power in ugh
