Without Lawal, no

I think Hansberry will provide a good matchup, but I fully expect uva to pound the post to start the game to open the defense up. Between Oyenso, Grunloh, de Ridder, UVAs post is too much without Lawal. Even if Dorn plays, Hansberry, Dorn, and Gurdak is overmatched and de Ridder draws fouls at a good rate too. Johnson is too small to guard de ridder in the post too. If uva hits 3s at a good rate, it could be a 10+ game, but otherwise I’d expect a 2-3 possession game the entire game. Think UVA’s pace and physicality disrupts yalls offense enough to control the pace.

Which UVA player is out? Their 3-pt shot leader, whoever that is?**

If you have a junkyard dog defender that is really physical you can stop

Our Belgian strategy will be a swinging door, like the Schlieffen Plan.

Nice reference

I just want to score more points **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/27/25 07:25 PM ET
If that happens, I'll deride DeRidder.**
KCHokie2 • 12/27/25 09:30 PM ET
de ridder is very inconsistent. He has struggled against better competition

Our 3rd string big Ugo is the one you will need to worry about this game**

Without Lawal, no ◄

It is a fair take

Delusional

I'd rather read Ken Pomeroy, also a Hokie. Today's ratings: UVa #23, VT #67**

PS. at Texas #55 net win by 19 and uva was ahead by almost 30
HOOBball79 • 12/28/25 02:35 PM ET
But didn’t you barely beat elon at home by less than uva beat Maryland?
HOOBball79 • 12/28/25 02:28 PM ET
They beat Texas (9-4, No. 55 NET, No. 46 Ken Pom).

the issue is frontcourt depth with Lawal out
ShockWaveVT • 12/27/25 04:20 PM ET
Hansberry is a much better defender than Lawal
hokiepro • 12/27/25 02:42 PM ET
The athleticism against real P5 teams (Butler, Maryland, etc)
wahoo2023 • 12/27/25 02:58 PM ET
Totally agree...he struggles against real P5 athleticism...like Hampton**
GCHokie34 • 12/27/25 05:53 PM ET
On a roll today, love it. **
