Advantage: Push. We know Nike makes black socks.

Uniforms:

Virginia dresses like a mid-major school that’s happy to get whatever Nike gives them.

The Orange uniform is saved by the color blocks on the side. That’s how you do it UVA.

Advantage: Syracuse

Basketball Program Hashtag:

None vs #GoHoos

Simple and easy. Makes searching for tweets easier. It’s that simple Syracuse.

Advantage: Virginia

Program pandering:

A new category where we look at the programs and see what they are trying to do to garner support from the fans.

Not going to lie. We’re jealous.

Advantage: Virginia

Prediction:

After two straight losses, everyone is out on the Orange. So, this seems like the time for them to play out of their minds and rope everyone back in with a big home win. You probably think we’re crazy but do you trust Virginia to shoot over 40% from 3 in every game? Sorry to those of you who just want to get to lacrosse season, but don’t worry the Orange can beat Virginia then too.

Oh yeah final score, Syracuse 58, Virginia 54.
