I’m certainly no movie critic, but I thought the Springsteen film was outstanding. Definitely not what most people were expecting … raw, dark, tightly, focused, and ultimately uplifting. A powerful look at a megastar’s struggle with mental health. #VAfilmfest

NBA scouts from Washington, Orlando, New York, Indiana, Atlanta and Minnesota are expected here for tonight's UVA basketball exhibition against Villanova.

UVA starters for tonight's exhibition against Villanova: Malik Thomas, Dallin Hall, Sam Lewis, Thijs DeRidder and Johann Gruenloh.

UVA's first five shots here have been 3-point attempts. Gruenloh and Thomas connected and the 'Hoos lead 6-4 three minutes into this exhibition with Villanova.

I wrote about Ryan Odom stressing sharing the rock earlier this month. That's showing up tonight. UVA has assisted on 7 of its 9 made FGs. Eight 'Hoos have already scored. Virginia leads Villanova 22-15 with 8:53 left in the half...

HALFTIME: UVA 40, Villanova 35 Malik Thomas with 9 points. Nine other 'Hoos have scored. Virginia has 10 assists on 15 made baskets. They've forced 8 turnovers and are 8-17 from 3. The bad? They've committed 9 turnovers and 'Nova is shooting 54%.

Really good turnout at JPJ for this exhibition, Ryan Odom's unofficial home debut. Crowd, of course, includes Ralph Sampson, Debbie Ryan and Odom's father, Dave.

Early (over)reaction to this new-look UVA team? They're gonna win a lot of games 80-70.

Malik Thomas scored 16 points and Johann Gruenloh added 12 and 8 boards as UVA led Villanova from start to finish of a 75-72 win in a preseason exhibition, the unofficial debut of new coach Ryan Odom. cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-uv…
