7 TO in 9 minutes. That is kind of impressive, like Ron Burgandy's dog eating an entire wheel of cheese.

He's traumatized from having to play us on USF.

Kenpom has only Virginia rated better. Seeing what they did to North Carolina yesterday I'd tend to agree, but there is no question UC is elite.

A UC-UVA NCAA tournament game would be simultaneously ugly and beautiful.

I grew up playing as a very deliberate player. Not being as athletic doesn't mean you're bad. He knows where to get to on the court to get his best shot, unfortunately it just hasn't been falling. He's still been getting his shots though and that's how I know it'll change

I think we would win that game, I feel like Virginia gets the extra media live from being in the ACC. We are usually very similar to them, and in the past I'd given them a better rating on offense, but this year I think we are much more well rounded. That being said, no way is that happening lol

I think we are better than Virginia also. They are good but aren’t as good as they’ve been the last couple years. Also Kenpom tends to love slower paced defensive teams also. Virginia is always near the top.

SMU has some good players and I fully expect them to be a force at their place, but the difference between our frontcourts is massive this season.

Chargois went for 12 against Arizona, 21 against Western Kentucky, 21 against TCU, 16 against Boise State, and we really made him look like true freshman tonight.

Ben Moore and Semi Ojeleye gave us nonstop fits last season and SMU is really missing their size and versatility in the post.

Obliterated. I knew Cincy's defense was going to be tough, but it was overwhelming. We only have 3 guys returning from last year's team, the rest are freshman and transfers. We haven't seen a swarming, athletic, fast defense like that and it was clear. Good win for you guys.

Clearly Cincy and Wichita State are 1-2 in the conference this year. Everyone else is 3-4-5. That game is going to be a rock fight.

In the meantime, stay healthy and we will see y'all at Moody!
