Virginia basketball forgot the internet holds receipts

Syracuse Orange fans are ones to hold receipts. But it’s not a trait exclusive to us -- the internet typically behaves similarly, especially when schadenfreude can be extracted.

So was the case when the Virginia Cavaliers’ Twitter accounted posted about all of the milestones from 2017-18, but conveniently (and understandably) left off the program’s biggest accomplishment of all.

Virginia basketball is obviously is fine shape overall, but they’re not living down that loss to UMBC any time soon... unless they find a way to top it, somehow, like they did the last time they suffered a stunning upset.

So that is what it must do. And not just for student athletes. Renovations are an opportunity to change restrooms to be gender-inclusive and safe for all ages by removing the troughs and unsanitary sinks. New locker rooms help the few who use them, but new seats enhance the experience of the thousands that come and pay to watch.

Virginia basketball tweets the things it did last season. But it forgot a big one. (News & Observer)

But it left out one not-so-little detail about the campaign — its loss to No. 16 seed UMBC in the NCAA tournament — and Twitter was more than willing to point it out. Virginia’s 74-54 loss to the Retrievers on March 16 in the opening round of the NCAA tournament was the first time in tournament history a No. 16 seed had beaten a No. 1 seed.
