de ridder is very inconsistent. He has struggled against better competition

Against overmatched teams he plays bully ball but against Butler, Dayton, Maryland he was not good….in fact he was bad. He’s a euro whiner too. Grunloh is possibly a worse matchup because he moves well which is not a strength of Dorn or Gurdak. Fortunately Grunloh is pretty soft so both our 5s can push him out. I doubt you see Hammond off the floor when Mallory is playing. He’s probably the only guy we have that will stay in front of Mallory. Mallory can be very ball dominant when playing against guys who can prevent him from going past them and the offense bogs down. Without Lawal UVA has the advantage mainly because they’re deeper (although we have developed frontcourt depth with Lawal out) but if the Cassell gets loud it should be a good one. ** Edited by millmtnhokie at 12/27/2025, 3:46:25 PM

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.

If that happens, I'll deride DeRidder.**

Our 3rd string big Ugo is the one you will need to worry about this game**
HOOBball79 12/27/25 11:10 PM ET
Without Lawal, no

It is a fair take

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

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**
