Tucker’s stroke from 3-point range looks really smooth tonight. Leitao need to get him some more consistent PT.

The young JMU student has a very sad look on her face. She is also not pleased that I just made fun of her favorite player, Calvin Baker.

While there may be a little truth to that, the fact of the matter is that UVa never recruited Sampson III, believing he wasn’t physical enough to play in the ACC.
But he sure looked plenty physical a few seconds ago when he played good ‘D’ on Jerome Meyinsse!

Mustapha Farrakhan’s spin move was nice, but it didn’t deserve the “Wow!“ that it received from the color man. That kind of enthusiasm should be reserved for LeBron James kind of plays.

At the very least, the guy looks like he can block shots—something UVa is extremely deficient in.
