Big win over Ohio State

While not a true road game last night (game took place in Nashville), wins like this show what a team is made of. Virginia did not play their best from start to finish, but the found a way to win their sixth straight game. Odom talked about that after the game and what it means:

Yeah, there's no question about it. To play in hostile environments in your conference on the road is always helpful, especially if you have success, and we've been able to find ways to win in a multitude of ways. This group is just pretty resilient. They stick together. They're very connected. I'm very confident that these guys will be connected long after Virginia. There's no question about it. This group is really tight, and I think that's a testament, you know, to their character, their families. It's also a testament to their individual character because, you know, they were willing to take a chance to come here in their first year and make the most of it. Every team has one life to live, and this particular team is living that life, you know, to the fullest, and you see a lot of smiles in there and a happy group. So, we just want to keep winning and keep enjoying the moment together, because being present is everything."

Virginia has three big opportunities to strengthen their resume the rest of the regular season. They host Miami next Saturday, host NC State, and then face Duke on the road. The Cavaliers should be one of the biggest factors in the country down the stretch of the season.
