The Rise of Virginia Basketball 

From historical upset to National Champion, this is the Rise of Virginia Basketball. What other teams, players, or topics would you like to see me do in the future?? Leave a suggestion in the comments! Thank you guys for watching today's video, and I will see you guys later in the week for another video!

you did it! THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY REQUEST

It is a HUGE misrepresentation to say that UVA had a bad offense because they ranked low in PPG. When you have 10 fewer possessions per game then an average team (which is UVA's style) you will tend to score about 10 fewer points per game. Of course, they will rank low in PPG. Make no mistake, the 2018-19 team had one of _the best_ offenses in the country, ranking SECOND overall in Kenpom adjusted offense. Kenpom scores teams based on how many points they would score per 100 possessions against an average team. Here are their adjusted offensive efficiencies since 2014: 2014: 27th 2015: 21st 2016: 8th 2017: 50th 2018: 30th 2019: 2nd 2020: 234th 2021: 17th Average rank: 49th Average rank outside of 2020: 22nd That doesn't sound like a bad offense to me, outside of 2020. What makes UVA elite is they combine this with a near-always top-ranked adjusted defense (except in 2021 -- 36th... ouch)

Do DePaul hoops. I can help. It’s a wild ride

Maryland didn't really "come out of nowhere" ... they were in the Final Four in 2001, had won the ACC several times, and are over .600 all time, as well as over 400 weeks on the AP Poll. Granted, only really 1999-2004 was Maryland ever considered a true national contender, and then glimpses again during the 2019/20 season, but Maryland was always been one of the better teams in CBB, it's just choked several times. But, you don't "come out of nowhere" to win a title when you're ranked top 5 the entire season, and coming off of a Final Four appearance

Yessss sirrrrr

Still asking to see the rise of ISU in football with Matt Campbell

Not impressed. Oversimplified and incomplete overall, and at times grossly misleading in places. Not the least of which is the assertion that UVA’s scoring offense was typically bad during the Tony Bennett era. That’s because they had a very slow pace, which limits points to both them and their opponent. A better measure is offensive efficiency. Check Kenpom’s adjusted offensive efficiency ratings for UVA from year-to-year: 2013/14: #27 2014/15: #21 2015/16: #8 (!) 2016/17: #50 2017/18: #30 2018/19: #2 Those are mostly good-but-not-great numbers with occasional outliers. Their offensive pace may be slow, but they’re generally efficient, and their two elite top-10 rating years coincide with their deepest tournament runs. That would have been fair to point out, but you made way too sweeping a generalization. You also failed to mention that Virginia lost their best player to a broken wrist just two days before the UMBC loss-DeAndre Hunter. So that’s not a fair measure of how good they actually were that year, and winning the ACC tournament multiple times in that run is nothing to sneeze at given the competition.

And they choked again this year lol
