Hoos Place, Game Preview: Virginia at North Texas

[NT80]

"And in a late Sunday game, buried on an obscure ESPN alternative streaming platform, in a mid-major gym 1,000 miles from home, disappointed they missed the NCAAT despite having real hopes in February, we’ll have to see if UVA can match or even exceed the hunger from a trophy-hunting Mid-Major for whom a win over a recent Champion would erase their own missed-Dance disappointment."

A sentence that long with no mention of North Texas ?

 "...the hunger from a trophy-hunting Mid-Major..."   (That would be us)

It's actually a very good and factual writeup about this game, us and our season.

The “mid-major” dart has been thrown.  Beat the hell out of Virginia!!!!!

I thought it was a very well written synopsis.

Stats are hard, though.  Really wish we would go back to the days of "My teams is better." accompanied by a score prediction.

Already getting the excuses ready. Virginia only lost because they didn’t want to be there.

This paragraph is actually a pretty spot on summary.
