More On A “Developing System”
In Saturday’s game story about the UVa men’s basketball team’s 76-55 win against Oral Roberts, I wrote that there are “signs of a developing system. There is more screening action making its way on to the floor while the spacing continues to create opportunities...
Early Thoughts On Stanford
On the men’s basketball board, IkimHoo (and maybe others) asked about the upcoming contest with Stanford in the Cancun Challenge. Here’s what Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton and UVa coach Tony Bennett said about the match-up:

Some Final Thoughts On The USF Game
With such a varied reaction to the Hoos performance against the USF Bulls on Monday night I decided to treat it to a true game analysis and after watching the game three times and logging every play there were some interesting trends that are worth looking at for this team going forward...
A Hypothetical Question:
With his team sitting at 3-7 overall, dead last in the ACC Coastal Division and the media scrutiny mounting by the day, I think it’s fair to assume that the next two games for Virginia’s football team will be the last under head coach Al Groh. And while I could list off several...
5 Things To Watch – USF Game
Here are some things to key in on as you take in tonight’s game in Tampa-
1. Transition – USF has the guards to get out and run on Virginia, and the Packline needs to get back and settle to be effective (much like many zone looks). It’ll be an interesting choice for...
What we saw (and what we didn’t) against Longwood

Scouting The Lancers
With the UVa Men’s Basketball season getting under way tomorrow night in the John Paul Jones Arena, I figured this would be the best time to get to know our first opponent of the 2009-10 season, the Longwood Lancers. After coming off a season in which the Lancers recorded their...
Interesting Tat Videos
So while I was helping edit Mike’s Q&A with Solomon Tat – a great read (sub required)! – I ran across a couple of old videos of Tat in high school. From a site called GeorgiaEliteMagazine.com (the home page loads really slow FYI), check these out:

On the EDGE board Wednesday night, poster 4hoova asked a fun and straight-forward question. Read the post here (sub required). The gist? What are your expectations for the football program? National Championships? ACC Championships? How many wins?

Improving the Spring Game
I know I haven’t been around in a while, but I couldn’t resist posting this superb idea from the Edge Board to give it a bit more exposure. Someone asked what other schools do to attract fans to their Spring Games, and here was a brilliant response:

Things I Can Safely Surmise Following The Weekend
Atrocious, appaling, detestable, vomit inducing, unforgiveable … it’s fair to say any of those statements accurately describes UVa’s second consecutive loss to Duke on Saturday afternoon in Scott Stadium. Perhaps it was the 424-196 advantage the Blue Devils had...
