That triple-overtime heartbreaker against Virginia Tech may sting, but three UVA players just put the ACC on notice. Thijs De Ridder was a force on the boards and dished out a team-high 5 assists, showing he’s more than just a scorer. Malik Thomas exploded for 26 points, proving he’s a go-to guy in clutch moments. And freshman Chance Mallory’s hustle, especially that late-game rebound, turned heads. Even in defeat, these guys showed grit and growth. How do you see their roles evolving as conference play heats up? Let’s talk about what this means for the rest of UVA’s season! #Sports #UVABasketball #ACC
