Didn't see that coming...
UVA-MD has been a good rivalry through the years..... glad to see UVA get the huge upset in their final matchup as conference mates.
When was the last time UVA was ranked ?
I don't recall much of either.I keep saying MD isn't as good as the media mavens think but no one wants to believe me.

I still don't understand why that team wasn't better than it was.Probably 2008 when they had Monica Wright, the Lyttles girl on the wing... and Zoll running the point.
Yes, I thought losing Gray might knock Duke below MD. It still may. Alexis Jones holds the key to that. That does not mean that MD is a good team. They have the same flaws they have continually had. They do not play a quality offensive structure. They are star dominated and not team organized. I expect ND to beat MD and might expect both Duke and UNC to get a lick in, too.I don't recall much of either.
Just a little while ago you said that with the Gray injury you expected Maryland to finish ahead of Duke. I am sure there are folks that think MD isn't as good as the media mavens. It's not a unique position.

No, a top ten team, probably a 2 seed or high 3 depending how things play out. I do not think they are a 1 as some portrayed them preseason.
Every media outlet and preseason poll I saw had either ND or Duke winning the ACC. What idiot picked Maryland?That's fine. They are a good not a great team. Preseason some were picking them to win the ACC.
UVA has actually been tough at home lately- almost took down Notre Dame (74-71?) and pounded a ranked Florida State team. They have some players that have been around the block in ACC competition.
Virginia is coached by Joanne Boyle (former head coach of Richmond & Cal), now in her third year there. I think she's a terrific coach; maybe UConnCat will chime in with an opinion.UVA has actually been tough at home lately- almost took down Notre Dame (74-71?) and pounded a ranked Florida State team.

Virginia is currently 10-9 but the Cavs have played a challenging schedule. Results against some ranked or very good teams:
#18 WVU Lost 68-58
#11 Tenn Lost 76-67
Michigan Lost 73-53 (Kim Barnes Arico is coach of the 13-6 Wolverines)
#2 ND Lost 79-72
#3 Duke Lost 90-55
#24 Florida State Won 85-68
#6 Maryland Won 86-72
The games listed above are from earliest in the season to most recent. I would say that Virginia is a team that others in the ACC will need to take seriously or they could be upset.
