I would have said 3 weeks ago that UNC beats us by 21+. Now, I wouldn't bet on UNC at +14. In fact, I would probably bet on Vt+3 right now. Because of lots of reasons. And please read my posting history and see that I too thought that Fuente would be gone IF he didn't rally this year's troops.

But HH has changed. The team that played yesterday didn't play UNC. And the team that does next week has a close to 50-50 shot at worst. So yeah, the change has happened. Hope changed. We went into Miami and won, changed. And despite your view, RI was never that close yesterday. Too close for comfort? A bit. But not really. Not unexpected after Fuente went all in, in Miami.
