At the beginning of the season UVA basketball was not ranked in the nation, something they clearly weren’t happy with. So far throughout the season, the team has accomplished many things leading them to receive the number two rank in the nation. A rank they have not reached since the 2014-2015 season.
1. Remember all those three’s the team has hit?
2. Remember that time we held Wisconsin to 37 points, the lowest in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge history?
3. Remember that time Tony Bennett recorded his 200th win at UVA?
4. Remember all those times our guys have come off the bench and absolutely killed it?
The skill on the team runs deep this year, which has been a great asset so far.
5. Remember that time Ty Jerome hit a career high of 31 points against Boston College?
He hit six three-pointers that game if that gives you an indication of how on fire he was.
6. Remember that time we beat Tech (by a lot)?
The score was 78-52, in case you did forget. What a day, hoos.
7. Remember that time Justice Bartley was awarded a scholarship?
This was after his outstanding performance in the game against Virginia Tech.
8. Remember that time we beat UNC?
Yeah, that was a good day.9. Remember that time when De'Andre Hunter dunked on Joel Berry II (and all the other dunks from that game, because there were a lot)?
A moment that we will remember forever. And check out the bench celebration.
10. Remember all those shot clock violations UNC got (and other teams)?
With the defense as on point as it has been, many teams have succumbed to a shot clock violation against us.
11. Remember all those shots Isaiah Wilkins and Jack Salt have rejected at the rim?
12. Remember all those times Tony Bennett walked out onto the court and the crowd got even louder than they did for the actual team?
13. REMEMBER THAT TIME WE WERE OFFICIALLY RANKED NUMBER 2 IN THE NATION?!
The team has certainly accomplished a lot this year and will accomplish so much more as the season goes on. It’s also worth mentioning that the team is also ranked number one in the ACC (can I get a GO HOOS?) The team is also on an eight-game winning streak, with no signs of slowing down. This is just a small amount of what the team and individual members have done this season. I know I’ll be at the next game, will you?
