ACC 2024-25 Season

Duke vs Virginia has an interesting Canadian plot for me. Lattimore vs Fournier. Two former Crestwood players who came into college with a lot of hype, Fournier moreso than Lattimore. But they were both had the same coaching while in HS. Going to be interesting.

I truly do not get the Kymora Johnson hype. Not only was Oluchi Okananwa the best guard on the floor today (Oluchi took 11 total shots, made 6 while Kymora MISSED 11 shots), Taina Mair had a better PG floor game (6 assists/0 turnovers vs. 6 assists/5 turnovers).

Help me out here, UVA fans.

I think Kymora is talented but truth be told im not impressed with Virginia's coaching. There is zero guidance or structure to anything they do

She's talented (has a nice 3-pointer, can create her own shot, and makes a nice dump-off pass), but I see her as a "good player on bad team" type. She wouldn't get heavy minutes on Final Four-type teams.

I do agree that Mox isn't doing her any favors with poor coaching. She's already on the short side. If she can't run an offense, she's got no shot at a WNBA career.

I've got Wake Forest on another screen. Do they do anything other than FOUL? I can see why they have zero Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins.

I agree, in part. Mo is definitely the best player on a mediocre team. She’s probably the only UVA player who could start for Duke. Your previous comment that Mair is a better point guard - I couldn’t disagree more. You correctly said she had 6 points, 6 assists and no turnovers. And Mo had 5 or 6 TOs today. But Mair shot 2-9 and was surrounded by way more talent than Mo. MO’s TO ratio is 5:3. Not great, but decent.
Re coach Mox… I’m not sure yet if she’s good or not. UVA kinda runs organized chaos and it can be pretty effective at times. But UVA can also look horrible at other times. I will say that she has completely changed the culture since replacing Tina T… who was awful.

People do not understand how challenging the task of a rebuild is when the previous coach allows a toxic culture to take hold; it permeates all parts of the teams including support staff and donors. It takes 3-4 yrs to just cleanup and start planting healthier seeds. I agree it is too soon to judge what coach Mox can/cannot do.
