- The ultimate redemption story. In 2018, The University of Virginia Cavaliers basketball team became the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed, UMBC, in the NCAA tournament. The next year UVA won the schools first National Championship. And the road to get that first title was full of challenges and heart stopping games.
“Does a bear poop in the woods?” Haha, gotta love my fellow Wahoos :)!
Tony's system works, this team proved it. Wahoo frickin wa
Wonder where all the naysayers are now? The "UMBC" chants, the "Bennett's system can't win championships" claims? I'll tell you where: In shutthehellupandgobackundertherockyoucrawled outfromland, that's where!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I would love any help you can give me
@Brixton Alijah Instablaster =)
@Quinn Zane i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Quinn Zane it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
I can watch it over and over, Congrats to my home state Hoos! 35 years in the making...
People forget DeAndre Hunter didn't play in the UMBC game
Love coach Bennett, what a faithful and humble man and all the UVA players. With the talent to go all the way was certainly a blessing from the Lord.
Talent combined with massive dedication and hard work.
God has nothing to do with who wins or loses. If that’s the case why even show up, practice, coach, prepare, or etc,.What about the other team who’s fans are praying to win as well?
God gets the blame for such much he has nothing to do with. God has more in mind than who wins the NCAA each year!
@@user-xm5le5ok2r Dude! You have a direct line to God and what he thinks? Can you ask him if y childhood dog Lucky is in heaven? Thanks.
da Bob Whatever dude. Why put something on God that was never intended too. If you really think God determines who wins or loses all sports games in all grades and levels you are a religious fruitcake.
@@user-xm5le5ok2r And that, sir, makes you a closed-minded and intolerant asshole.
I didn't come on here to dig into people's religious beliefs. Lighten up bro! This team and coach ARE an incredible example of faith, so their winning was a wonderful thing that to many people is an example of what can happen when people live in "the word". For example, "Pillars" of Bennett's program are biblically derived and include unity, humility, passion, servanthood, and thankfulness. None sound like "entitlement if we pray and follow these things hard enough", do they? I WILL say adherence to these biblical teachings as a team is a big part of what got them to where they are - wouldn't you? Okay, now going further than this puts us in a whole argument over God vs. atheism, etc. and I ain't goin' there - certainly not here.
At the end of the game, my wife was so happy, cheering, jumping around. I, on the other hand, lied down and cried. Pure tears of joy. I was so happy for the guys and coach Bennett. I watched the entire UMBC game last year and all the games they played this season. After what they have been through and effort they put in fighting back from the bottom of the bottom, I could not help but cried.
I am so happy for the team.
same I was a student when it happened. Best moment of my life!!!!
Very well done WTVR, thank you!! I was fortunate enough to be in Minneapolis to cheer on my boys. Unforgettable 🔶⚔️🔷
Enjoyed this production - thanks WTVR from a longtime Wahoo and C'villian. No better story in hoops history - GO HOOS!
15:10 and the next +/- 30 seconds. I wouldn't trade being in Minneapolis for the time I had at JPJ and flooding the streets for "happy riots" one bit!! The joy and jubilation experienced in Cville was beyond measure and will be up there with my finest life memories!
@Bob C is that you running onto the floor🤔
@@mickfunny4185 LOL - I couldn't run (bad knee), but I did scream and yell and high-five everyone around me, then hobbled all the way to The Corner (and back). Was worth every achy step!!!
Same!!! I was there at the national championship win! Best feeling of my life
Love seeing this over and over!
Superb work! Wah Hoo Wah, Baby!!!
Why does it never get mentioned they lost their best player in the conference championship before umbc game? Losing hunter turns it into like a 16 vs 12 seed.
You also had 2 big seniors though. Hunter was a bench player last year, and wasn’t performing at the same level. But nonetheless, the dudes a beast.
What two seniors u talking about?! Guy and Jerome were sophomores and the three seniors they had on the team were not that good. Hunter was a starter and their best defensive and offensive player that year!
Christopher Hitt Hunter was a bench player in the 2018 season. And you had seniors that started every game that had provided solid minutes for UVA. DeAndre Hunter was not the lonely answer to that game. Team basketball was
@@091sj ok, he was 6th man of the year award winner. ONLY reason he didnt start was becuz he was freshman. Top ten draft pick as a sophomore and here u are trying to tell me he wouldn't of made a difference in that game, gtfoh with that ignorant bs!
Christopher Hitt 1st, he’s not going top 10. His draft stock increased solely because of the tourney. And yes, he would’ve made a difference, but he’s not the sole reason UVA lost. His injury lost a really good bench player, but Virginia couldn’t dig out of the hole they were in with their other good players. Needless to say they won the tourney this year.
I’m not crying. I just have something in my eye
I fricking love Tony, Kyle, ty, and Virginia!!!!
Go Hoos !!
This is why college sports is better than pro sports imo. Yes, all the players want to be pros today and most don’t play for the front of the jersey anymore, but the emotions of the fans of college teams after they win….. or lose is what makes college sports great. 🙏👍🇺🇸
Who is that UVA player who looks like a young Tony Bennett/Big Bang's Sheldon?
Pretty sure u are talking about kastra
@@jimmye8094 Yes, Austin Katstra. Thank you, Now I know.
And...It took UVA basketball winning a national championship to get any decent amount coverage for UVA in the Hampton Roads area. It's always Va.Tech this Va.Tech that. Va.Tech has NO significant national championships and the way the football team is playing it will be sometime before they are relevant again. So I'm saying WTVR is wrong this being their first national title. Do your research better.
Correction vt has zero national titles in anything
Even more of a reason to stop treating them like they are the only school in Virginia.
Same can be said for the Roanoke area. Granted that Roanoke is only 30 minutes from Blacksburg, but the Roanoke, Southside, and SW VA areas have way more UVA fans than people think.
@@owenmarshall2599 Ouch! "Lonely little petunia in an onion patch" - lol
Wonder if Andrew Baroch is still crying?
It's not UVA's first national title. 2015 the baseball team won a national title as well as some of the lesser sports. It is however the first basketball title.
Skip Frey they mean first in basketball
This is not the first team to win a national champion. Other teams at UVA have won a title.
Yep and everything is Va.Tech this, VaTech that.
Todd Smith, but it is for Basketball
Of course, but its the highest profile one. I was collecting scraps of demo'd U-Hall (where I watched Barry Parkhill, Wally Walker, Jeff Lamp, Ralph Sampson, and so many other talented and dedicated players give their hearts to the game) before it was hauled away; After I slid back under the chainlink gate in front of my embarrassed wife, along came a few guys from the Lacrosse team (shirtless, T-shirts and flip-flops) carrying THE NCAA National Champions Trophy!! Presumably delivering it to JPJ, but God knows where it had been - lol. Got a great impromptu pic of the guys smiling and thumbs up! Yes, lots of National Champ teams at UVA - but hoops has been "ready" for oh-so long.
Five dislikes from butt hurt auburn fans......
Or vpi fans.

I still feel like their Final 4 game against Auburn was rigged. If the obvious double dribble on Jerome had been called, it would have been Auburn vs. Texas Tech. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for their program on their first championship appearance and title, but they got there via a blatant no-call
What I hate about these "it is rigged" comments is the lack of perspective.Okay, so they are down 4 with 11 seconds to play, and they have to hit a key 3 pointer with 6 seconds left. Was Guy's shot in the corner that went in the hoop rigged at as well? What about the 3 FTs that magically made it inside the hoop? I suppose that was rigged too. Yeah, it was a bit controversial about the double dribble but literally no one saw it, even the announcers, no one. Just like no one saw the jersey grab of the Virginia player prior. So, yeah, I think they deserved the championship.
You should go back and watch the game again. Guy was getting grabbed while trying to run past screens all game, Hunter was hacked and grabbed throughout, and, with less than a minute left, an Auburn player took about 7 steps. Oh, and that double dribble everyone loves brining up.....tell me Ty's jersey wasn't grabbed as he was turning around to recover the ball.
Bullshit.
Take your tinfoil hat and go home.
UVA has a history of winning games like in the end. Look up their game against Louisville last year.
BLATANT? ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?
Va. got pass on double dribble.
U.Va.'s Coach Bennett endorses President Trump.
the team declined the invitation to the white house from trump...again..nice try, loser
Andrew Baroch STFU
Refs quietly compensated by Va. officials for favorable calls.
