I will happily highlight the positives:
1. We had the lead on the road against a Top 10 team with 12 minutes to go.
2. We fought back to within 3 points with 3 minutes to go after they went on a tear
3. We had a 1.25 points per possession on a team that gives up .9 per..on their court
4. No other team we face this year will be as hard to play against as Virginia at their place
5. Jenkins looked like an assassin today. That is the type of game that will hopefully propel him to more great games in the future.
6. Nobody had gotten close to our scoring output on VA since they lost to GW. I was really impressed with how our guys fought.
On Virginia...they are a better team than us. Congrats to them. They have 4 seniors and a junior who command most of their possessions. They made 7 of their 8 3-pointers in the second half. We played VERY good defense for about 28 minutes and then they started to spread us out and hit 3-pointers every time they had one open. The last 10 points were on forced fouls. Credit to them for making them, but it certainly inflates their stats.
