What happened to RJ's assessment that Morant was going to sit out the rest of the season to wait for the NBA draft?
I said I would do it if it were me. I didn't say he would do it. I said he should.
But, as usual, Pilch is wrong...

VT shirts for a the VT-UVa game.
See if you notice anything in particular.
UVA is in a bit of a slump. They were lucky to be up at the half, and that was because VT shot so poorly from deep - and they're usually a better outside shooting team. But UVA did play some stifling D in the 2nd half to get a little working lead. I also think Jerome isn't 100% with his back, and it hasn't helped that Kihei Clark has contributed nothing the last couple of weeks with Jerome ailing. I hope UVA picks it up come tourney time and that Robinson is able to return for VT for both tourneys.
Love the UVA doubters....
Has it worked well in any NCAA tournament?
I thought I could profit off of the UVA doubters in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
Didn’t turn out so well.
But I’ll give it another shot this year.
I only had UVA winning a game or 2 last year in my pool. Just didn't see a run in them without Hunter. I see this team as being more flawed than some of their previous editions because they have no low post scorer and only 3 guys who provide consistent scoring. But Jerome, Guy and Hunter are 1 year older and are better than they were last year, so if Jerome's back doesn't limit him, I can easily see them getting to at least the elite 8. If they play Michigan, the final score might get as high as 25-23. As for their future, Salt graduates, and the word is Hunter is going pro. They have a 4* G and a 4* big coming in. Also wouldn't be surprised to see Anthony transfer, maybe Badocchi too.
Tags, VT is down to something like 7 scholly players with Robinson out. In July, they looked to have a really good 8-9 man rotation. But then they lost 2 of their 3 bigs when Sy left school, and Clarke was kicked off the team. I think they've done great to have won as many games as they have with only 1 foul prone big on the roster. I'm hoping they get Robinson back in March so they can win some ACC and NCAA tourney games, though I think they're too limited to make a long run in either. Buzz has some good recruits coming in next year, and I seriously doubt Blackshear would leave. Buzz has been building a solid program.
Purdue gets a tip in with 3 seconds left to win in Bloomington...48-46.
Classic B1G hoops.
