A recap of Virginia Basketball’s 2018-2019 season: Part I

So, I have to start this article off with candor. There’s no way this article can live up to its expectations. I set off with the goal of recapping the 2018-2019 Virginia Cavaliers’ Men’s Basketball season.

But honestly, how do you do that?

How do you put into words the single greatest season in 113 years of program history? How can the greatest redemption story ever told in any collegiate or professional sport be merely recapped in a preseason countdown series?

This time last year, our message was clear. We weren’t really ready yet for the new basketball season because, to be honest, most of us weren’t ready to hear “UMBC”—last year’s most dreadful four-letter word—be uttered at every broadcast.
