Hoos that? Virginia states case as title contender

By Noah Frank
WASHINGTON -- Any self-respecting college basketball fan saw Kentucky’s public shaming of UCLA on Saturday, as the Wildcats scored the game’s first 24 points en route to an 83-44 drubbing. But a result from Sunday was just as impressive, when the Virginia Cavaliers commanded the respect of anyone paying attention by manhandling Harvard, 76-27. It’s not just that the Hoos are 11-0, and that they beat a Crimson squad that began the season ranked and entered Sunday’s contest at 7-1. It was their complete domination on both ends of the floor that was so impressive. Virginia scored 30 of the game’s first 35 points, holding Harvard to a single field goal in the first half, tying an NCAA record. Everyone knew coming in that Tony Bennett’s squad can play some defense. This weekend, the Cavaliers showed that they might just be the one team good enough to beat Kentucky come March.
