Don’t forget, the women’s team kicks things off today at 5:00pm against George Washington on ACCNX. It’s a great night of UVA hoops all around.

Curious/excited/nervous about the season. Obviously a lot of great off-season/recruiting buzz so far, but there’s a reason we had to make a coaching change. Don’t want to expect too much from a one-year turnaround.
It’s national title or bust! Get on board!
But seriously, I just hope to see them grow over the course of the season and see Coach Mox get her system in place. If we somehow got ourselves to a winning record, that’d be amazing, but I won’t be bummed by really any outcome as long as the team seems to be buying in.
I’m expecting too much out of a one year turnaround. Hey, preseason is the time for inflated expectations.
Two minutes to basketball season!
Mox’s team scored their first bucket only 4 seconds into the season. The bar has been set, Tony.
I like the general look of the team so far, but the turnovers are completely undermining things. A number of them aren’t from trying to push it or anything either - just some sloppy ball handling and passes from a few players.
If this team makes the NIT this year that would be a HUMONGOUS turnaround. They havent won an acc game in two years and won like what, 3 games last year?
The 1st years are gonna make some mistakes but I like what I’ve seen from them so far.
I thought we won one last year
Can tell Sam Brunelle isn’t fully comfortable out there yet, but hopefully seeing her first shot go down helps, even if it was a bit of a wild shot.
I generally like what I’m seeing, but TOs and rebounding are the stand out problems. Also a lack of any real rim protection.
Hanging tough - down 4 at the half.
After a nice third quarter, UVA up 4 going into the fourth.
Hell yeah, pulling away now. 67-54 UVA with 7 minutes left in the 4th.
74-57 HOOS with 4:18 left. Kaydan Lawson has caught fire in the 4th.
Final score UVA 85, GW 59. For reference, this is a team we beat 62-53 last year. Coach Mox is doing wonders already!
Awesome fourth quarter effort - outscored GW 31-9! And really the whole second half. They cleaned up the turnovers and started hitting everything.
Congratulations to Coach Mox on her first of hopefully many to come wins! Loved the effort and enthusiasm. Returning to our former glory is a reasonable expectation in the next couple of years. Team was light years better coached than anytime since Coach Ryan. I am bullish on Coach Mox - she has the pedigree and love for UVA we have needed for so long.
Wow love it. Nice win, especially appreciate the second half effort!
