Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 3897982, member: 9355"] Not having Hunter during that loss to UMBC made a huge difference. I am not saying UMBC wouldn't have beaten them with Hunter, but it would've been a lot less likely. But I have to hand it to UMBC, they didn't slow the game down, although Virginia liked the slow pace, they played peddle to the metal and even when they were up with 5 minutes to go they didn't slow it down. But Virginia responded nicely in 2019 with the NC and the basketball Gods were shining down on them as I thought they were going to lose to Purdue, Auburn, and Texas Tech at the end of each game, respectively. I thought I was going to have to go through the same thing with Albany in 2006. I never really warmed up to that 2006 team. [/QUOTE]
