@DanSiegel_ Why would SMU have the tiebreaker vs UVA if both win out

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@jakemalasek Is Morris going to play?

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@HoosHoopin Maybe too much recency bias but I would almost flip Bliss and Rohde.

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@UVaHoopsRiffs @CutsfromCorner Comp would be 13-14 with London and Hall (ult redshirted) coming in as 1st years as the only true PGs on the team. The rest of that team was obviously more experienced, talented, and had ball handling at other positions but hopefully shows CTB would roll with 1st year PGs again

@blloyd8298 Any fear he winds up a similar fate to Dante? Undersized point guard who played a ton of minutes at his prior stop with so-so efficiency

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@UVaHoopsRiffs Perry would be a great get and better fit than Mack. More upside and versatility. Depending upon shooting development could probably have bliss and Mack on the court for extended periods.

@UVACavPerson Darius Thompson

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@fivepillarhoos I’d look at Harris and Rohde leaving as a positive. Let Bliss Gertrude and potential transfers get more minutes

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@AB84 @CtespnN Shannon sharpe wall art is the best

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@UVaHoopsRiffs Agree it starts and ends with talent but disagree that our our transfers out wouldn’t have been an upgrade. Think your mind would change if Eli announces he’s entering the portal in a week

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@treykelleher3 Like the matchup. Trust Reece to shut down Stevens like he has to other star 6’0” guards who he can bother with length (RJ Davis, Wade Taylor, etc.). CSU also doesn’t have a dominant big (Post, Burns, Flip) which has given UVA fits or shoot the 3 well other than Stevens.

UVA has now made 9 of the last 10 ncaa tournaments (10 out of 11 if you factor in 2020). Only 2 teams in the country made the last 10 tournaments. In the 10 years before Tony Bennett, UVA only made 2 tournaments. Appreciate his consistency and greatness

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@UVaHoopsRiffs What are the odds Dunn stays? 10%? Obviously bias but feels like he could benefit from another year. Seems like his shooting ineptitude was largely mental and not out of the realm of possibility he could be a 35% 3 point shooter on low volume with an off-season of work

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@UVaHoopsRiffs Weird how the metrics work. Why is Clemson a lock and a 6 seed while UVA is the on the bubble? Short answer is wins @ unc and Alabama, but they also have more losses and worse losses - @ Miami, home against GT, @ ND, BC neutral, NC state at home

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@GuysInTiesPod So underrated. If it wasn’t for the team being down the last couple years he would be consensus a top 5 player in the Tony era

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@CutsfromCorner Need less and less of Rohde

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@CutsfromCorner Tony is a defensive genius but watching a game like that makes you wonder if some games we should just simplify things and switch ball screens (at least 1-4). Try to have Dunn involved in the switch as much as possible and rely on 2 best defenders in the country’s 1x1 defense

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@CutsfromCorner Lot of stuck to pick at but a win on the road with that referee performance is a win

[Robert Raiola @rwraiola]

@CutsfromCorner Reece was unbelievable. IMO arguably a top 5 player in the Bennett era given the longevity and the clutch gene.
