The Contra Indicator

This ESPN Article highlights that UVA mens basketball is tied for the lead in the ACC conference (with BC). What? Say that again? When was the last time that UVA was profiled by ESPN or any other national report for that matter?

I remember a time 2 yrs ago when UVA was ranked higher and more favored in football against Florida State at Florida State...are you kidding me? That was a clear opportunity to bet against UVA.

While it would be great to celebrate the Cavs potential return to glory (a relative term), especially after a recent win over Duke (i know they are not the best duke team we have seen, but it's still duke, c'mon), it seems now that a safer position will to hold back optimism and bet against the Wahoos.

For those of us who remember UVA's last great season...1994-1995, with Junior Burrough leading the Cavs to the elite 8. Junior who? yeah Burrough...He played barely a season in the NBA, got bounced to Europe and who knows where he is now. (though let's not forget other lost stars - Harold Deane and Curtis "3 Point" Staples)

After perpetual 1st round exits in the tourney AND THE NIT (aye!), withholding judgment can only be prudent.
