From Virginia POV...

Analytics heavy but "full body of work" spin applied.

I'll simply point out the trends from similar sources.

Last 10 Defensive Eff Oregon #1 Virginia #22

He cherry-picks and spins and so can I...
Oregon's newfound defensive identity may have made it one of the best teams left in the field on that side of the ball.
Body of work arguments don't favor them but may be missing the mark due to the evolving nature of the team.

Is 1 month a large enough sample size to indicate the true underlying nature of this squad?

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this match-up.

Oh yay, we're going to get to listen to Chris Weber give us his commentary.

That was such a weak call in the Purdue game. Tennessee should've won outright but the ref called a phantom foul on a 3-pt attempt. It's questionable if they even got the ball passed it within 5 seconds, let alone the ridiculous foul. Now in overtime, Purdue is up three. Such BS. Also, we get to wait even longer for the Oregon game to start. All hail referees!

It wasn't a phantom call, look where the guy lands. He also might've gotten his arm.

I feel like our offense starts slow every game. This team is on another level defensively though, so hopefully we turn it around like we have in recent games.

REally need Pritchard to find the range. Missed two FTs !

[rockthief]

Number one team vs the number fifty-one team. I w ant magic to happen.

Amin is doing his "dominate a five-minute stretch" thing.

I saw where he landed. It was a slight body contact well after the shot release. It's typically a no call because it happens multiple times every game without a call. If all contact was called there would be no game to play.

Disagree it was slight but to each his own.
