Bad news already UVA hoops fans, UVA has just announced that forward Jamil Tucker from Indiana will be leaving the team for "personal" reasons. No furthur information is available at this time.
Virginia opens their season on Friday at home against Longwood @ 7:00 in the JPJ. Virginia also will start the season without big-man Assane Sene from Senegal, who has been suspended form the UVA team for conduct detrimental to the team.
The Longwood game marks the beginning of the Tony Bennet era at UVA. I will have a basketball preview available here on the HooYa! Blog tomorrow evening. Go Hoos!
The HooYa! Blog expands upon the content and insights in HooYa! C-VILLE's UVa game-day publication. The HooYa! Blog is written by Trent Thurston, a sports-obsessed Virginia fan who bleeds orange & blue. He and his father, Myles, own and operate Eljo's Traditional Clothes, a UVa staple in Charlottesville for 59 years. Trent traveled with the Virginia Hoops team for six seasons helping out where needed with the radio crew. He thinks every year is the year we will win a national championship in football and basketball.
