Always Taine Train if for no other reason that he stuck around 4 years without much PT and always played aggressively when he did get in.

He needs to be in our rotation all year.

Thought the same thing but I am old. Also- they snuck those in.

Basically the only positive case you can make for the orange uniforms is that they are so hideous they blind the other team’s shooters.

Not to jinx but we don’t fare well in Taine games

I’m worried our free throw virus has infected Dai Dai

Happy we’re winning but I’m not watching this thinking we can’t lose this ā€œcoreā€ Really want to keep Cofie and sharma though.

Oh and ARob is night and day compared to Buchanan

I think ARob is the greatest enigma currently - was he at the level he’s shown tonight and that one previous game, at the beginning of the season? If so, how the HELL can you justify not playing him at all over Buchanan? I don’t get it… his physical presence and motor is exactly what we lacked in our 4 loses. He’s unpolished, but Buchanan isn’t?

edit I do recall him spazzing out in his first appearance.

Chris Shitola…dookies are everywhere. It’s like them stacking the Supreme Court in basketball- NBA GMs, Coaches, ACC network, Game Day announcers, etc.

Up 9. I will take it. Is it us or them? They seem out of sorts but trying to believe we are the active part of it. Leave Robinson in. He calmed shit down inside. Sub in Cofie and Blake around him.

I was going to say it more impolitely. If we are going to play a Offense negative in the front court let it be the guy who rebounds and defends.

Certainly you expect them to shoot better than that, but our D is really in their faces. Has a lot to do with the misses.

He looked lost as hell his first few apperences but the lights seem to be turning on now.

Exactly!!!Arob is playing like a foundational UVa player from 2011-2015 (pre- National Championship Team).

Let’s just get some more athletes out there that intimidate, rebound, push, block shots and yes even foul- let us know you have fight!

Once you soften up the other team and deter them from driving the lane and getting all of the rebounds then they get a bit flustered and conversely someone like Taine gains confidence and is able to go off.

We played really well with Rohde and Blake sitting.

Would be nice to reward at least Taine coming out of the break.

But scoreboard says we’re back to the starting lineup.

Will be idiotic to do anything but play him at least 16 of the final 20 mins.
