Wait till you see Jay huff and more of Hunter. This is a heavy loaded team. Just very young. Jerome, guy, Hunter, and huff are the same class just the latter two red shirted. Brogs was one of a kind. An all-time great. I truly believe this core is the best all around he's had.Congrats garlan - as you and others have expressed, I don't think that's a game Tony's previous teams win and I'll admit I was totally wrong.
Talent-wise I'm not sure this is his best team - I think the team with Brogdon as ACC POY was the most-talented - but they definitely play his system the best and everyone knows and accepts their role.
Uva defense broke down in the second half. I think duke stayed with the zone a few minutes too longI'm going to have to re-watch it but I remember thinking I couldn't believe Duke was still in it, let alone had retaken the lead. Completely deserved win by the Wahoos who clearly rattled our young stars and made them make mistakes like they were freshman or something. Hopefully, UVa can get to the Final Four and earn some accolades for once.
Duke's zone was the key to the comeback, but you are right, they stuck with it too long and the game changed.Uva defense broke down in the second half. I think duke stayed with the zone a few minutes too long
Personally I don't think the zone had much effect other than Wilkins missed a few on 3 possessions. Uva had same offensive efficiency in both halves, actually slightly better in second half. Duke was around 68 in first half and 127 in second half. That's a big breakdown for the uva defense.Duke's zone was the key to the comeback, but you are right, they stuck with it too long and the game changed.

Edit.. the zone did appear (to me live) to have effect but the numbers don't show it.
The national invitational is a tourneySounds like Felton's time at Carolina may be done. Hopefully this team will make the tourney.
Better close down Rosemary Street!The national invitational is a tourney
Given they have one conference road win (a miracle at Notre Dame) I'm chalking up every road game they have left as a loss without looking.UNC is ranked 10th in the RPI, and 12th in the Pomeroy. They're not missing the tournament. They would have to lose out.
Hope this holds true Thursday.This team plays to the level of the competition in every game. They’ll step up when challenged, but otherwise they’re disinterested and float a ton. Not great.
I said they play to the level of competition, but if none exists, it’s a different situation. Smurfs down.Hope this holds true Thursday.
No, I think they're pretty safe now LOL. Now you just hope they can keep it going, finish top four in the league, and get a three seed in the NCAAT.So Greg29fan you still think they are missing the tournament? That was a pretty pessimistic outlook you had. Seems kinda foolish now especially when you consider their strength of schedule.
The State loss at home was a bad loss, KenPom had it as the second easiest game left on the schedule. They looked better in the loss to Clemson (for one half) and the Pitt game was meaningless.So Greg29fan you still think they are missing the tournament? That was a pretty pessimistic outlook you had.
