it is pretty crazy. its almost like people dont realize Virginia has a better 2 point shot % than us, better 3 point shot % than us, much better FT % than us, and commit far fewer turnovers, and they've done it vs 18 top 100 kenpom teams vs our 10 games vs top 100.



but they are about the worst in the country at grabbing offensive rebounds, and we are the 2nd best.



fwiw the opinion a lot of our fans seem to have about watching them is the same one a lot of fans around the country have about watching us play. of all teams that should understand and appreciate virginia for what they are, it should be us.

The "eye test" always prevails...lol! Stats are not something a lot of fans can relate to nor do they want to. The eye test will serve them better.

I like our eye test and stat tests this year a lot more than other years as a combination.

could you imagine if we ran out 3 guys that shot 3s at the same % as Jake and also shot them at least as often as Jake. thats what they have.


we have some guys with high percentagess but in far fewer attempts. they have 3 guys that have career 3 point % over 39 and are high volume shooters.

The small sample size is starting to favor our bigs shooting at higher %. We have 5-6-7 shooters who can drain a 3 at 35% or better. Yes they have some weapons but we know where to guard them. How do you guard bigs who can score down low at 54%+ and shoot 3's at 41%+...and make FT's at 74%?

Cincinnati's Justin Jenifer has only committed 21 turnovers in 506 total minutes this season. Averaging a turnover every 24.0 minutes. The epitome of ball security.

And Gary Clark has 22 in 680 minutes! Different positions but it's still awesome!

Here is my Reddit Poll I submitted. Wanted to really punish UC and then I couldn't. everyone sucks

Dropped to 11th in the AP, and Houston makes its way into the top 25, at 23.

11in the coaches as well, all in all not a huge drop. Probably sneak back in the top ten this week.
