Anyone have a clue where it might be shown online or in the area?

Malcolm and Sylven will essentially each get theirs and cancel each other out, and Jeff Allen and Mike Scott (the battle of four first names) will be key. Like you eluded to with your characterization of Scott, both of these two can either pour in huge solid efforts, or can wear their invisibility cloak. All I want to see out of Jeff in this one is EFFORT, and an at least decent IQ out there which will hopefully keep him from fouling out within the first 10 minutes of the game. PLEASE, Jeff... PLEASE. We MUST have at least a decent game from you in this one. Outside of those two match-ups, though (which I think will cancel out), I really think that we have UVA's number. Dorenzo Hudson has gone from the beast to the beauty, and I love watching him play these days. Here's to hoping that he capitalizes on what should be a huge height advantage for him in most situations, and takes the ball strong inside with some good penetration. That's right, I said it... penetrate all over these Wahoos. Make 'em feel it. With Bell and Hudson taking turns smothering Zeglinski and containing Landesberg... and Davila, Allen, and Thompson manhandling people on the inside... I think we have a real shot to come out of this one victorious. The key, I think, will be to stay out of foul trouble, and most importantly to convert at the charity stripe on our own end. It'll be a battle, for sure... but I see a close game that we pull away in at the end.
