Last year we never got that marquee non-conference win. This year we already got one and we have a chance for more. The guys are getting a good simulation of what the NCAA tournament is like coming back after a day's rest. I'm excited to see how we handle it.

Lebron showing some love to Sencire:
An intriguing game and as Galloping Ghost points out, a game that mimics the NCAA tourney with just one day rest as well as on the road against a good opponent. I haven’t seen them play and all I know about this version of Virginia is what I’ve read on here. Interested to see if we can speed them up and how RJ and Ty play after a forgettable 1st game. Hopefully we don’t need a career game from Shannon to get the win.

I think our schemes will give Virginia more of a problem than theirs will give us. I-L-L
Four months from now everyone will be comparing Quad 1 wins.
Getting two of them in the first 5 games of the season will (not - “would”) be a huge resume builder.
Let’s go boys ! ! !

This one feels like house money after Fridays win.
I think we come out loose and shooting the ball well. RJ breaks out.
71-59 good guys.

Hope so, but 8/9 from 3 is a tall task.TJ Shannon will do it again.

I never got the impression nobody else could do anything so Shannon had to on Friday. Its just that he had the opportunities and made the most of them, then it was kill the clock and let him roll to ice the game.
The "Shannon had a career game, so that's why they won" narrative doesn't fly with me.

It may take several hours to get Matt's motor revving these days! Interestingly, I guarded Matt Meyer in High School basketball. Believe I held him to 8 pts (across 2 games --- home/away) during his senior season. A pretty good shooting lefty in his day! However, it appears that he failed to score during his time as a walk-on in Champaign.
