LOLUVa basketball takes a hit... Justin Anderson goes pro

Many pundits had already crowned LOLUVa as the team to beat in 2015-2016... pending Anderson's return. Well, last night those Hoo dreams were spoiled when he declared for the NBA Draft leaving the Hoos program scrambling. Yes, they went 7-1 down the stretch after he got hurt, but they didn't exactly go through a gauntlet in conference play, and never looked like a team worthy of their ranking during it. Yes, they have a good, even great defense, but if VT football has taught us anything the last couple years its that you need to be able to score yourself in order to have success, regardless of defensive prowess, and UVa just lost their best, and arguably only offensive threat.

With Shaka Smart bolting for Texas, and UVa now taking a hit like that, things are starting to line up for VT basketball to seriously make a name for itself in the commonwealth over the next few seasons. Should be fun.
