[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 683471, member: 2299"] He was the starter. He also played god awful for a number of games before losing his minutes. Moore was also shooting 24% from 3 this year and udner 50% from FTs. I agree that he deserves some minutes, but he wasn't playing well at all the last half dozen or so games and that includes his defense falling off. That simply just isn't true (about not playing him much). Moore played 25+ minutes 8 times after the NCSU game. Anyways this game was rough. Poor first half play dug us into a hole, with a lot of unforced turnovers. Obviously UVA will force some turnovers with their play. That will happen, but we had guys just dropping passes, stepping on the out of bounds line, etc for no reason. It was like we were intimidated by UVA's reputation. Second half we played better. Only turned the ball over 5 times, and put on a run to cut it to 2. Unfortunately we weren't able to hit the shots we needed to nor make the general plays we had to. Two offensive rebounds really took the pressure off UVA. One was after a long 3 with about 230 to go on what, imo, should have been a foul. Led to 2 points. Then again with a minute left in a 5 point game they miss the front end of a 1-1 and we don't box out the shooter and they get the ball back. They scored a dunk after that and that was the last real chance. Whenever it may happen, we have to learn to finish games off, especially at home, if we ever want to get back to the NCAAT. Arkansas, ND, and now UVA were all games we had chances at the end to win it and couldn't. Even against Kentucky and Duke we were in a good position at the end before they put the game out of reach with about ~8 minutes left. We could try going with a deeper bench to keep our starters fresh but I'm afraid that will just lead to bigger holes to have to try and climb out of if Jose or Mike are off the floor for extended time. In any case I think we have to make a concerted effort to try and get better looks from 3 even if that means forcing some shots that aren't the best.
