I think there is a perception among some that he is Groce part 2. Mid-major coach that hasn't proven himself on the high Div. 1 level. Probably not fair to him, but that's what it feels like to me.

I don't think Keatts is remotely on the radar
Those are people who don't know anything about the coaching market. Normal people, in other words
All Keatts's guys do is throw up 3s. Can't get anywhere on Virginia. They've been making a lot of 3s but good lord.
Give Virginia credit

SDS is a good team and Gonzaga is overrated (as usual).

I'd be interested to see conference Kenpom rankings of the MAC vs. CAA from the start of Groce's tenure at Ohio to present. If the two conferences are roughly equivalent, that alone tells me Keatts≠Groce.
+1. Consistently one of the best defense in the country. They are a true pack line whose goals is to force contested jump shots.
So if Illinois hires Keatts do we make the tourney next season? Assuming all the recruits stay. I would say yes but barely and he goes 10-8 in B1G in first season.

Looking at the box score, their ratio looks fine (31 2's, 22 3's). They're shooting a lot more late in the second half.

What a scoring output by Flemming in this second half.
Both of these offenses look pretty bad.
It's playing out like a game that UNCW should win. But UVA just keeps making big plays.

That said, not loving UNCW's shot selection down the stretch.
UNC Wilmington has a very good offense, Virginia is just really good defensively.

SDSU hanging with the Zags so far in a low scoring first half. Interesting.

I agree. That last possession, down three, was awful. Dribble around like crazy and hoist a contested 25 footer.
This is what we're trying to get away from
They do attack much of the time. And Virginia forces this upon almost everyone so don't place too much judgement on what you see today.

Costly turnover there by UNC-W. Shayok for Virginia...wow. He’s been the MVP for them.
