Still hard to believe Virginia lost to Maryland-Baltimore County last year.
A true head-scratcher.
Have to wonder if Bennett wore them down. They were as good as any team during the regular season last year. Remember all those Cincinnati teams under Huggins who would wilt come post season?
It does make you wonder if teams are better off losing early in their conference tourneys, knowing they will still be a 1 or a 2-seed.
The thing is, they had a pretty easy schedule down the stretch last year. Out of their last 13 games, only 2 finishes in the top 25 on kenpom.
Which might be the reason he is in the booth instead of on a sidelines.Good point, Valuist.
Fran Fraschilla made the point the other day about college kids wearing down as the season progresses.
He said he liked to keep practices to only one hour during the month of February.
Is this available to bet anywhere? Would be a fantastic way to get a better price on virginia to win the title. Maybe a little on hunter as well.That's Virginia point guard Ty Jerome.
He's suffering from a back injury right now but he'll be there for the Cavs in March and early April.
Don't discount his talent because he's projected by some draft experts as an NBA first-round selection this June.
He's my longshot pick to be the 2019 Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
Virginia teammates Kyle Guy and De'Andre Hunter receive more publicity than Ty Jerome but Jerome is the team's most important piece.
De'Andre Hunter with a huge second half and overtime period stole the Most Outstanding Player award from my choice.
Pretty good call by JK two months ago, even though Hunter got the award.
Kyle Guy was also huge in this game, especially shooting free throws fearlessly in the overtime.
I thought any of the three could of won it. Don’t forget, Guy hit the corner three with a hand in his face down 6 vs Auburn. He misses, game over.
In the end, I think they rewarded the right Guy.
