Because it’s UVA, all will be said is Tony Bennett’s postgame press conference was classy (I mean he got his tail handed to him, what else was he supposed to say). Radford is the best team in VA this year. Only team with a NCAA win! Go Highlanders!I got home last night around 10 ready to watch our great state's #1 team (just on the cover of SI) start their run to glory. Finally a big time chance for Virginia-
The UVA loss by 20 points to a #16 team known as UMBC who most Americans have no idea what that even stands for is.....
a humiliation, a degradation, an abomination, and just a disgusting embarrassment to our great state.
Is that going overboard a tad bit haha....still...
The entire coaching staff at UVA should donate half of their salary this year to charity...any coach of a 6-8 year old YMCA team in the country could have done that performance last night. Heck, someone off the street....
It would have been better to not have even made the NCAA Tourney than that pathetic show -
Granted UMBC did shoot lights out and I like Coach Odom - nice guy!

This November Rams will come to come to John Paul and whip the Hoos againAs a UVA fan the ACC looks pretty weak. Still not to bad not to be pre-season top 25. That s why there is always next year and the year after that and the year aafter that........
This November Rams will come to come to John Paul and whip the Hoos again
Talk to me in July! If we don’t have any of our horses transfer we’ll be the best team in VA next year.Wanna bet.
UVA went 31-3. Bennett doesn't need to change anything. He just needs a little luck. Losing Hunter, and not having any time to adjust killed them
I don't think that some of the defenders of Virginia's humiliating loss understand the gravity of the situation. (Losing Hunter may have hurt against a Villanova or Duke but not some college 95% of America had never even heard of before.)
This one shockingly humiliating loss (one could argue one of the most embarrassing in Sports history, not just in college basketball) will never go away.
It will follow Bennett and Virginia for as long as there is college basketball. Imagine they will talk about this for the next 40 years every March Madness or any time failure is discussed.
I've heard ladies who do not even follow any sports say how embarrassing this is.... Sad.
Obviously, this team is not made for March tournament play.
You don't know what the hell your talking about. Virginia the last five years has a better record than Duke and NC. It is stupid ass fans like you that need to find another school to root for. VIRGINIA DOESN'T NEED YOU AND DOESN'T WANT YOU . GO WATCH RERUNS OF NBA All Star Games.It’s indefensible... blown out by a school that’s only had 1 power 5 conference win (Nebraska) in its history... last year 39 points of offense in a collegiate game against FL. They need a non back to the basket big that can really ball. This years recruiting class is aweful too. Nobody wants to play for gene hackman and the “Hoosiers” 4 passes before you shoot offense
Haha, frankly I'm not even that surprised that my Hoos lost. I already wasn't feeling good about going on a run without Hunter, and UMBC exposed literally all of our weaknesses. We looked like we hadn't played basketball before, and the horrible shooting by Guy and Jerome was the nail in the coffin. They really needed a post presence, and it caught up to them. I cringed watching the Hoos try to press when they probably hadn't practiced it all year, lol. They looked so awkward.Hey Hoos @anon_vu6vqwsr4nf3b, our VCU Rams had the same amount of NCAA wins as the Chokies and WaBooHoos did this year. LOL!!!!!!!

” … If I could hire a coach in this country and I could get Tony Bennett, there would be nobody in second place. Nobody. He’s kicked our ass every time we’ve played him except we got lucky once.”
Bennett's tactics are frustrating yes...and I don't think anyone will take UVA seriously until they make a Final Four. Heck, they can go undefeated next year in the regular season and no one would trust them...but look at the big picture here. Syracuse, a team UVA beat twice, just beat Michigan State. UNC lost to Texas A&M...like what? Remember the year Duke was a 2 seed and lost to Lehigh and CJ? Yeah...everyone does. They didn't go anywhere. They won a title three years ago. Michigan State lost to Middle Tennessee two years ago. Bad nights happen. A re-structure of the offensive scheme may be in order...but the best regular season team in the country this year is returning an All-ACC first and third team pick along with the 6th man of the year. They won't ever be believed in...but the Hoos will be just fine.
Chill out with the comments. That crap is unacceptable to make personal attacks. Mbonape is the coolest dude on here. Not cool!You don't know what the hell your talking about.

The comment about Hoosiers was uncalled for and I called it like was----assholish and stupid. No team needs a fan that says things like that. If you don't like Virginia basketball don't watch. But don't come on here and make insults towards Bennett and the team and expect not to be challenged. I especially hate it when people who know nothing about the game volunteer their "expertise". Most of these back benchers would think a hard hedge has something to do with shrubbery.It’s indefensible... blown out by a school that’s only had 1 power 5 conference win (Nebraska) in its history... last year 39 points of offense in a collegiate game against FL.

Just because you go to basketball games doesn't mean you know anything about the game. You proved that with your Hoosiers comment. All Virginia fans were disappointed at the out come of the UMBC game but a few like yourself took your disappointment and began to attack Bennett and the program. Asses all. It's fans like you that Virginia can do without. The only miscomprehending going on is you, thinking that you know anything about basketball. I'm mad I'm seething mad, and I'm mad at fans like you that say stupid bull s--t about the program. You don't deserve Tony Bennett.Know nothing about the game? Are you out of your mind? I am beginning to think you have a double digit IQ. You can't even comprehend what people post half the time. I haven't missed a UVA basketball game in years. Me saying they need to change something isn't hating the program. You usually mis-comprehend everything anyways so i guess me thinking you might get it together is my mistake. There is a difference between challenging someone's opinion and spewing personal insults. Keep it about the sports for now please... If our paths ever cross in person then you can tell me how you really feel.
You said no one wants to play for Gene Hackman four passes before you shoot offense:
Malcolm Brogdon, London Perentes, Anthony Gill, Mike Toby, Justin Anderson , Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome, DeAndre Hunter, Devon Hall, Isiah Wilkins, Jack Salt, Jay Huff, Anthony Badducci, Marco Anthony, Joe Harris, and Mamadi Diakite and others called and said you need to surrender your UVA fan card
