Virginia shot better from three point range than our guys did in Moody. McNeely in particular had a good game against us. Let's hope we can reverse that in Charlottesville. They had no answer for Samet who has struggled in ACC play since that game. Need to big guy to dominate in the paint.

Tomorrow night on ACCN and at Dave & Buster's.

Pretty sure you're correct. In my defense, I was only on my 14th cup of coffee when I failed to read the calendar and typed that.
I'll show myself out ... and will be back here tomorrow night
