A few things I learned (or I already knew, but were confirmed) from watching Virginia's overtime win over Duke at the JPJ tonight:
~Sean Singletary and J.R. Reynolds are All-Americans and two of the toughest guys in the NCAA; this is the best backcourt in the nation
~Barring an injury to either of those guys, the Cavs just got themselves into the NCAA tournament
~Dave Leitao is ACC, and probably National, Coach of the Year, by a hair over Seth Greenberg (since UVA will sweep Virginia Tech)
~College basketball is the most exciting sport to watch on t.v.
~Virginia might just be for real; whatever it was that was missing for the last 10 years or so, this team has
~John Paul Jones Arena is one fantastic venue for hoops, and a great home court
I haven't been this excited about UVA basketball since Curtis Staples was raining down threes and Harold Deane was running the point.

They definitely have a distinct home court advantage now, which never hurt. Singletary is definitely the best gaurd in the country, I just hope he stays for his senior year.
It seems like Singletary has been there for 8 years, same with Cain and his mustache.
P.S.: UVA is now tied for first in the ACC. (Yes, I know BC holds the tie-breaker)
After they beat UMD last night they now have sole possession of first
Back to a tie. P.S.: Did I mention how sweet a win at Maryland is, regardless of the standings?
Here's the UVA we all know and love, completely folding in Blacksburg
