Virginia (currently ranked #15) was upset last night by NC State, though UVA’s two White starters played very well.
Jay Huff had 19 (6/12 shooting) points (and game-highs of 11 rebounds,3 steals, and 5 blocks, while Sam Hauser had a game-high 21 points (7/16 shooting, 5/11 from three). the duo also combined for only ONE turnover.
the rest of the team was a combined 7 for 26 shooting, scored 21 points (to the White duo’s 41), and had 7 turnovers. perhaps more gym rats are needed?

at 6:00pm central tonight, ESPN features a contest between two outstanding teams, with likely the two best centers in the collegiate ranks (senior Luka Garza of Iowa and freshman Hunter Dickinson of Michigan) and two of the most talented wings in the country (Iowa’s 6-foot-6 junior Joe Weiskamp and Michigan’s 6-foot-9 sophomore Franz Wagner). Iowa starts an all-White lineup as well as two of their top three reserves, while Michigan always starts two of our guys with reserve big man Austin Davis getting substantial playing time.
if you have some free time this evening, you might want to check it out. on paper it looks appealing.
