Kelvin WashingtonHOST
Yep.
Sam BlumGUEST
And everyone always said, everyone always said, like, UVA basketball's not built to win in March.
Sam BlumGUEST
They don't score enough, the defense, all that.
Sam BlumGUEST
And then they won the whole thing the next year.
Sam BlumGUEST
I mean, I I'm coming from the, I covered university Virginia basketball when they were wanting to get it lost to UMBC very famously.
Sam BlumGUEST
And everyone always said, everyone always said like UVA basketball is not built to win in March.

Sam BlumGUEST

Greg PetersonHOST
A slow team, but a very efficient team.
Greg PetersonHOST
Virginia much the same way.
Greg PetersonHOST
Now, it's not the Tony Bennett era by any stretch of the imagination.
Greg PetersonHOST
They have sped up a little bit from that, but for Virginia, right around about 232nd in the country in terms of total possessions per game.
Greg PetersonHOST
Ever since Mike Shrewsbury has taken over Notre Dame, has been a little bit of a slower team.
Greg PetersonHOST
Sped things up a little bit last year, 233rd in the country in terms of total possessions per game.
Greg PetersonHOST
Miami was 36th in terms of points per possession.
Greg PetersonHOST
SMU was 37th.
Isaac TrotterGUEST
It's, it's interesting, right? This is the third straight off-season now that some...
Isaac TrotterGUEST
A head, a sitting head coach has basically left his team right before it starts, right? V- Virginia with Tony Bennett in 2024.
Isaac TrotterGUEST
Bruce Pearl with Auburn last year in 2025.
Isaac TrotterGUEST
Obviously Dana now.
16 MINS LATER
Isaac TrotterGUEST
It's just 'cause it's happened three years in a row, right? Like, uh-
Matt PrehmHOST
Right
Isaac TrotterGUEST
... at, at Auburn and, and Virginia.
Isaac TrotterGUEST
But I think it's just to keep this roster in place.
Isaac SchadeHOST
Yes, a mid-major, but one of the more well-known ones, typically high.
Isaac SchadeHOST
And then I really like this October 22nd matchup against Virginia.
Isaac SchadeHOST
Virginia, we've already seen them in exhibition action last weekend against Vandy.
Isaac SchadeHOST
That's going to be a lot of fun there to see the Cavaliers go do that.
Isaac SchadeHOST
But Andy, five non-con games of note.
Andy PattonHOST
I've said a couple of times, I think the best way to do your exhibition games is to use all three of them, have one of them be on the road, and play at least one good team.
Andy PattonHOST
Villanova's doing all of that.
Andy PattonHOST
Not all at once, necessarily, but I playing Virginia is great.
HotballsHOST
Yeah.
HotballsHOST
So is Virginia.
HotballsHOST
But
Hurley ManiaHOST
yes,
10 MINS LATER
HotballsHOST
we? We had, like, the really early bye week, and then we got it kind of screwed there.
Hurley ManiaHOST
Yeah, no escalators brought this up.
Hurley ManiaHOST
So UConn gets the first week as the bye week because they're playing Virginia at the Garden.
Hurley ManiaHOST
So that's normally big.
Seth GreenbergGUEST
I mean, like, I thought it was Metallica coming in through my ears.
Mike WatersHOST
Nice that a- as a former Virginia Tech coach, you would appreciate the heavy metal.
Mike WatersHOST
No, not Metallica.
Mike WatersHOST
Uh, a, a small band out of Maryland known as Amathaea.
Seth GreenbergGUEST
He didn't, he, he didn't when we were there.
Mike WatersHOST
That's true.
Mike WatersHOST
Somehow Virginia Tech slid in and out of the Big East with Syracuse never going to Blacksburg.
Seth GreenbergGUEST
Crazy.
Brian RaufHOST
Like, that backcourt together is going to be a lot of fun.
Brian RaufHOST
Um, Mallory did not play for Virginia.
Brian RaufHOST
That's when you get to the exhibition-y type feel of this.
Brian RaufHOST
Um, I have down in my notes of the, the four games that have been played, this was the most exhibition-y game that it felt like, where it felt like a...
Matthew WinickHOST
Yeah, and you know, for these two teams, that's kind of okay because these are two of the safer-
Brian RaufHOST
Right
Matthew WinickHOST
... floor teams, I'd say, in the country because of how much Virginia brings back and who Vanderbilt brings back.
Matthew WinickHOST
Like, the...
Jeff GoodmanHOST
All right, we got a special edition here of Field of 68, and I got my man Kevin Keats here.
Jeff GoodmanHOST
We ran into each other in Charleston the other day watching a little Virginia Vandy, a little Charleston Citadel, and the weather was pretty good, wasn't it?
Kevin KeattsGUEST
The weather was great.
Kevin KeattsGUEST
You know, the good thing about us, Jeff, first of all, thanks for having me on.
23 MINS LATER
Jeff GoodmanHOST
It didn't mean anything.
Kevin KeattsGUEST
Yeah, and I think Mike's a – I think he's a really good hire.
Kevin KeattsGUEST
I mean, I've seen him even back in his days at – I want to say, I hope I'm saying this right, at Virginia when he was with Pete Gillen a long time ago, I think.
Kevin KeattsGUEST
But, you know, he's a really good – Seems to be a good X and O guy.
Kevin IngramHOST
Well, the, uh, I will say the Blue Ribbon digital edition is outstanding.
Kevin IngramHOST
I've already used it for some game prep, uh, w- with Vanderbilt playing Virginia in the first preseason game back on Sunday.
Kevin IngramHOST
And- and I guess I have the unique distinction, I announced the very first basketball game-
Chris DortchHOST
Nice
Kevin IngramHOST
So-
Chris DortchHOST
You are a trooper, dude.
Kevin IngramHOST
So I, I slept about maybe five hours, and then, uh, got up and had a little bite to eat, and went over to Credit One Stadium and started setting up for our broadcast of the Vanderbilt-Virginia game.
Kevin IngramHOST
Um, everything came off okay.
