Two road wins this week for Virginia (18-3, 7-2 ACC), which is now 6-1 on the road on the season.

They weren’t convincing, meaning, the fan base is concerned – they wouldn’t be UVA Basketball fans if they weren’t concerned about something.

Quoting Hunter S. Thompson: “There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.”
