That good old song of Wahoowa, we'll wreck 'em o'er and o'er
It cheers our hearts and warms our blood to see Nait score and score.
We come from old McCamish where all 3s fall for Tech,
Let's all join hands and give a yell for dear old Ramblin' Wreck!

Impressive. You’re in rare form tonight. I’m sure you’ll bring it to McCamish on Saturday.

I’m already looking forward to it! It will be interesting to see if we can build off the road win! Hope we can generate some energy. I hate UVA damn near as much as Duke & UNC.

It looks like our biggest advantage is on the offensive glass. Virginia ranks 201st in the nation in opponents offensive rebounding percentage. The Hoos also rank 79th in the nation in three point shooting while we hold opponents to just 30.7% on the season. UVA has also lost four consecutive road games by an average of 20 ppg, including a 22 point thrashing at the hands of Notre Dame of all teams. If we keep McNeeley and Dunn under control this could be another nice victory.

UVA is 0-4 in true road games this season, and they haven't really been competitive in any of them.

Memphis L 54-77
Notre Dame L 54-76
NC State L 60-76
Wake Forest L 47-66

We just have to ensure that we a.) give the Jackets a homecourt advantage and b.) that the team doesn't have a let down.

Underperforming the spread by -19.8 points per game on the road vs outperforming the number by +5.2 ppg at home. Very Jekyll and Hyde

@devcon make sure you and your fellow students are well…ummm…hydrated and ready to shape the outcome of this game too. I’ll be the one asking for more noise from 102! We need a $2 beer night like UConn is doing for Creighton.

All hands on deck for this one.

$5 funnels with a whiskey chaser. This is the ACC, need to start acting like it again.

It’s wet weekend. We will be on deck one way or the other.

Saw that Greg "Hoops" Peterson had UVA listed as 5pt favorite on Saturday in his look ahead line.

If we're catching 5 at home tomorrow, I'm dumping my entire bankroll on the ML!

If we shoot like we did at Littlejohn I like our chances. Pack Line is hard to penetrate but it will give up a lot of 3's - especially on the back side.

How Nait plays against the Packline Defense will be both challenging and go a long way in determining the game's outcome. This will be CDS first time coaching against the UVA defense. Those are big unknowns as to how well we play.

This should be an challenging game. Can our guys deal with the UVA pace of play? I sure hope so. UVA is never real fun to watch play but generally they dictate the way the game is played.

This would be a very big win at home for the good guys!

Good post. UVA is a difficult test with their stingy D.
