Virginia survived a terrible first half against GW then smothered them in the second. Should be a solid win down the line.

It's a good win though we didn't play very deep. Anderson, Brogdon, and Perrantes averaged 35 minutes each, our top 6 played 176 minutes. Our backups didn't play that well, which is concerning.

This Ukranian kid on KU actually looks pretty competent and collected for his age.

He reminds me a LOT of Courtney Alexander who played at UVa and Fresno State.

Shayok and Wilkins will both come good this year; Hall and Stith more likely next year if at all. I'm a little worried that Tobey might be regressing, though I think UVa will still be a top 10 squad without him—especially with how much Atkins seems to have improved on the interior. Such an awkward team to play against.

I'm more bullish on Tobey than most. I think offensively he's making more of an effort to be aggressive. Yesterday wasn't the best demonstration though. He had a couple that didn't fall, and a couple and-1s where he missed the free throw, and then coach just sat him. He and Adkins bring different skill sets and I think we will need them both this year.

Colorado returns Askia Booker, who according to SBNation will be the best guy on the team, and also pretty much everybody other than Dinwiddie who got significant minutes last year.

James Blackmon Jr is waaaay better than I thought he'd be and I thought he'd be Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He has 12 first half points from four made three-pointers :swoon:

The rest of the team looks pretty mediocre right now, but Crean is shuffling lineups and giving different guys some playing time so I'm not too concerned.

NC State shot abysmally all game and tried their best through missed free throws and stupid turnovers to let South Florida back in toward the end, but fortunately South Florida is an awful team so they won anyway.

Still, 37% from 2 and 23% from 3 isn't going to get it done most nights. And, I mean, even a little composure would be nice to see, but this is State we're talking about so I know by now that's too much to ask.

Meanwhile, South Florida has a player named Dinero Mercurius.
