1. Virginia’s Mr. Baggins is grossly overrated.

2. No respect in individual accolade predictions.

3. No surprise.

I'm going to have to get out my Street and Smith's to figure out who half these guys are. I'm happy our guys are under the radar.

I thought Buddy or Griff could get some, esp Buddy after last season for at least 2nd team.

I think we are going to be a very well rounded team. Each night we could have a different leading scorer. Marek may be our best player, but I don't expect him to get as much attention as he deserves

1234 that's like a default PIN - fake news

 

[Briancuse]

I think 6th is great, there was a time when we would be insulted to be picked 6th. Times have changed.

 

[MikeSU02]

I think all of this is about on the money. Think we'll be a solid second-tier team, but will most definitely be a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" team.

I can see us not getting a lot of looks for individual accolades.

Just win and stay healthy.

I’d be happy, too, if under the radar wasn’t our annual theme song.

 

[Eric15]

6th place in the ACC probably translates into an NCAA bid, so I'll take that in a second.

 

[Newhouser]

Is the league supposed to be good this year?

Good to know. Do you ever put anything of value in there?

We were preseason #16, two years ago.
