We had 24 fast break points?? Listening to post-game. Wouldn’t have guessed that.

Grünloh finished with 8 blocks in 18 mins?!

the T-Rank box score says he had a 50% block rate which seems like a made up number. Team as a whole had a 34% block rate (12 blocks on 35 NC State FGA)

Him and Onyenso had 12 blocks combined!

Damn, that was fun. Incredible finish.

It was already an awesome game and then Gertrude went and did that dunk.

Yeah we’ve already reverted back to needing to give him more minutes again lol.

Grünloh’s freshman wall was short lived

Guys, Will Wade believes in this Virginia team. Do you?

You can really see X looking over at the guys on the bench from this angle.

Would love to always have rotating elite shot blockers at the 5

Great sequence in the second half:

NC State drains a three. We hit a three of our own.

NC State drains another three. We score… 4

NC State drains another three. We score… 4 again!

They hit 3 straight 3s and yet got outscored 11-9 on those three possessions.

Fresh. I know Gertrude is not leaving UVA. I do wish you could get him to work on his outside shot. How good would he be if he could start hitting outside jumpers regularly. First Team ACC?

Can anyone smarter than me determine if it’s as simple as we had two good shooting games and they had two bad shooting games or if we have some specific matchup advantage over NC State

I mean, Will Wade says Virginia is just simply better than his team. Really awkward situation for him if the Wolfpack have to face the Hoos in the ACC Tournament, though…

I think it’s size. They’re topping out at like 6’8” on playable guys and we can sort of bully them.

Probably some other more technical stuff too, but Grünloh getting one million blocks feels like it’s due mostly to size.
