This game will get the LRA bump… easy game!
Fact Hoos roll
Ralph’s place around 1800 on Saturday…
If Burton doesn’t leave Charlottesville with a $2 million offer, then the game is a loss regardless of actual outcome
They best hope Fresh doesnt meet him
Let’s get a win streak going!
Back-to-back wins this year will be a noteworthy accomplishment
It’s called a winning streak
Not sure who guards Burton, but hope we can contain him, and gut out a win.
Also hope to see more of our 2-Big lineups. Love having Cofie and Blake, or Cofie and ARob, on the court together. Allows one to do the hard hedging while the other protects the paint and the rim. Also creates matchup problems for the other team if we stay big (with Saunders at the 3).
Go HOOS. See y’all Saturday.
I hope Ron pulls Dai Dai aside and asks him to be a role player for this game and focus on making things difficult for Burton without fouling him. Ron’s conversations with Buchanan, Cofie, etc about rebounding seems to have had an effect, so maybe Ames can be a real key for us winning this game.
Best role for DD and the way NOT to foul Burton is for DD to be on the bench. He will get lt up and will put a lot of stress on our bigs when he gets beat off the dribble by Burton. Fortunately, most of the time DD gets beat, his man has a pretty straight line drive to the basket.
Best strategy against Burton is for Rohde to bait him into a flagrant 2
Ha. Get him tossed!
Maybe we can make elbow flopper a thing
We will have to sacrifice one of our starters of course, maybe it could be a rotation so DD this time? We will only have about 30 seconds to decide who to use in the inevitable retaliation F2.
So, for some of you old timers, we need to arrange a meeting between Dai Dai and Ed Shetlick to find out how it’s done. ( He’s going to hate me for bringing that up but he’s still my hero for getting Kenny Carr kicked out of the game way back when.
Pbp - Wes Durham
Color - Dan Bonner
I like Bonner. Bonner is a pro. Cmon at me Bonner haters and give all your whiny Bonner takes.
“Wah, wah, I don’t like one of the best color guys over the past few decades, AND UVa’s own, because one time he said something nice about the Hokies!”
Too quiet around here…
I also like the fact that he’s one of those old school guys that works for whatever network he wants.
“No, no! But I like corporate stooges and yes men!”
I bet you do, Bonner haters.
Love Bonner. Of course I was in the minority that enjoyed him and Reggie miller in the ncaa tournament.
