As March Madness rolls on without UVA basketball winning a game for the fifth year running, there's no question it's time for change in Charlottesville. So I broke down what that should look like and how the 'Hoos can get back to national contention:

Last thing I'll say today. Thank you Kihei Clark. Thank you for your play on the court, what you represented off of it, and for everything you've done for this program the last five years. You're a giant in the history of Virginia basketball. Today didn't change that.

Just to put things into perspective... Duke has 2 down years and finishes 4th and 10th in the ACC. UNC has 2 down years and finishes 13th and 6th. UVA has 2 down years and finishes 2nd and 1st. That’s domination.

The difference between Coach K and Tony Bennett: The player with the most minutes of the bench for the Hoos tonight is a preferred walk-on. The player with the most minutes off the bench for Duke is a top-25 recruit. UVA’s up by six.
