So tough.

Louisville loss puts them 2 games behind us but they have a tiebreaker on us, so we only have a 1 loss buffer. We have the tiebreaker over UNC, so UNC was already 2 games behind us. Louisville is favored to win out their remaining schedule whereas UNC is basically a lock to have one more loss. Seems like Louisville losing was better for our odds.

Yes. Louisville losing helps top 4 situation.

2/24/2026 6:11:14 AM

Will our victory over UVA tonight help our top 4 situation?

2/24/2026 8:23:22 AM

Not really, no.

2/24/2026 10:12:41 AM

So tough

2/24/2026 10:15:29 AM

Hopefully the game doesn't go into overtime so we won't have to choose betwee it and missing the beginning of the State of the Union Address

BIG GAME TONIGHT

2/24/2026 1:28:16 PM

That 2nd foul on could've been a flop T, a charge or a no call. It was never a blocking foul.

Copeland has been dogshit tonight

2/24/2026 7:55:08 PM

I forgot about basketball. Oh hey we did good holding UVA to 36% shooting in the first half!


Too bad that's double our shooting percentage!

2/24/2026 7:56:48 PM

Uhhh what the fuck just happened

A UVA dude shoved williams

*click*

2/24/2026 8:21:41 PM

I honestly don't understand how Williams and the UVA dude get offsetting technicals. UVA guy shoved Williams in the back. Williams then turned around and charged but made no contact?

Ebube got a flagrant 2 for a shove. Maybe it should have been offsetting flagrant 2s and ejections? (I get why booby was ejected as a bench player)

2/24/2026 8:24:24 PM

wouldn't have happened under Coach Bennett's watch

2/24/2026 8:26:15 PM

Haven’t been watching, had a work thing. But it appears we’ve been dogshit.

2/24/2026 8:42:04 PM

I'm picturing Tony Bennett singing commands to the team from the sideline now

2/24/2026 8:43:56 PM

This team just isn't very good. It's basically as if Dave Doeren ran the basketball program. We beat the bad teams but get manhandled by any good team we face. But hey we beat UNC!

I don't have high hopes on winning any ACCT/NCAA games

2/24/2026 8:55:19 PM

Spend nothing for 2 years then every 3rd year go all in with triple the budget. No point in spending to be just good enough to make the tourney but never more.

2/24/2026 9:07:20 PM

Yeah. We’re a totally fine basketball team but nothing special. We’ve kinda just shut the bed against any good team we’ve played.

It’s kind of a weird team. We’ve had clearly worse teams in the past that have had the ability to just get hot and beat anybody on a given night…but otherwise be worse throughout the entirety of the season. This team i guess has a higher floor (except the GT debacle) but just can’t punch up. Which feels odd because it seems like this team would have the firepower to get red hot and beat anybody. But we never have those nights against good teams. Probably a sign that we don’t have a high ceiling.

2/24/2026 9:09:39 PM

I think we’ve played 5 ranked (currently teams).

Completely uncompetitive in 3 of those. Lost in OT to Kansas. And destroyed UNC when they weren’t at full strength.

I hope we’re competitive vs Duke but not counting on it

2/24/2026 9:18:23 PM

I just hope we don't lose by 50

2/24/2026 9:23:31 PM

This team has definitely shown its ceiling. *Do they lose in the round of 64 or 32?









*Current bracketology does not have this team in a play-in game.

We actually didn't play *that* bad until the final 10 minutes or so. I think it is a bit of this team's deal that once they realize the game is out of hand, they do let the score get run up on them way more than they should.

If we came out with a better plan to deal with UVA's physicality on defense, the whole game could have gone differently. We started off slow again and a lot of that was UVA just dominating defensively. We did dig down and overcome the slow start with some pretty epic defensive play of our own in the 1st half, so that is at least an improvement over some of our other slow starts this season.

2/24/2026 10:09:13 PM

Honestly the best 18% shooting first half I've ever seen
