Before I get into the resumes, man, the people who vote in the AP and coaches polls have no respect for Virginia.

The ‘Hoos (22-3, 10-2 ACC) have won six straight, are all alone in second in the ACC, and in a week with a bunch of teams in the Top 25 struggling, they moved up exactly one spot in each of the polls, from #15 to #14.

Whatevs, right?

I mean, if the guys in orange and blue need a sliver more motivation – to maybe run a split-second faster down the court, jump a smidge higher for a rebound, there it is.
