Maura #11 of the UMBC Retrievers during the first round of the 2018 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Spectrum Center on March 16, 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina.After Virginia’s win over Texas Tech Monday, someone asked Kyle Guy if this was the biggest moment in his life.
He ranked it third.
Getting engaged was #1 which was cool. He ranked the championship as #3.
And #2?
Losing to UMBC.
The second greatest moment of his life was losing to #16 seed UMBC.
This really underscores the way Guy and the entire Virginia team, from Tony Bennett on down, turned that disaster to their advantage.
