We’ve all rewatched that UVA E8 probably dozens of time by now. I just recently watched our win earlier this year @UVA where we completely caught fire in OT to the tune of 20pts, in 5 minutes, AT UVA.
Taking away the magnitude of the game, which was more impressive to you?
on one hand we had a UVA team that was dominant all year on the brink of their first F4 since Ralph Sampson. An NBA stud in Malcolm Brogdon. London Perrantes who torched his whole career. That year was arguably the best pack-line had ever been. A 25-4 run including 15-0, vs arguably the best defense in America and a team laced with veterans. 21 from Mali in the 2nd half.
or this year! 20pts in a 5 minute stretch at JPJ arena; in a game where we had 43pts in 40minutes prior to OT. Eli, JG3, Buddy all nailing multiple shots on the road against a team that ended 23-7 and 15-5 in the ACC. Less losses than the 2016 team.
2 different animals right? 2016 was a complete UVA collapse and Mali got hot. 2020 infront of a rabid crowd on the road we just lit the building on fire for 5 minutes vs a team with 2 extremely skilled 7fters.
the elite 8 is more emotional but this year to me seemed more impressive. UVA made shots this year in OT but we just made more.
what was the more impressive to watch? (If it’s possible to ignore the magnitude of the game)
