UVA Tournament Hydration Guide

If you’ve watched Virginia basketball long enough, you know the broadcast will recycle the same storylines all night. So here’s a simple fan hydration guide for the game.

Quick disclaimer: this assumes you are drinking water or soda. If you choose something stronger… please don’t drive. Hydrate responsibly, Hoos.

Take one sip every time Ugonna Onyenso blocks a shot.

Take two sips every time they remind viewers that Ryan Odom was the coach at UMBC when they beat us in 2018.

Take one sip every time they mention Chance Mallory is from Charlottesville and playing point guard as a freshman (first year). Take two if they follow that with Freshmen aren’t freshmen anymore this time of year.

Take one sip every time Johann Grünloh blocks a shot.

Take three sips when the broadcast brings up Dave Odom and reminds everyone that he’s Ryan’s dad.

Take one sip whenever they mention Tony Bennett.

Take two sips when they start talking about Virginia’s European pipeline and how international players keep ending up in Charlottesville.

Take two sips every time they mention Ryan Odom previously coaching at VCU or Utah State.

Take one sip when they mention Virginia’s roster is made up of almost entirely transfers.

Take one sip every time Malik Thomas, Jacari White, or Sam Lewis hits a three.

Take one sip on any Virginia dunk.

Take one sip every time Dallin Hall records an assist.

Take one sip when they mention the only two losses in Virginia’s last 15 games were to Duke.

And finally…

If the broadcast says Virginia hasn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 2019…

Take an entire cup.

What did I miss?

Have fun and drink responsibly. 🧡💙
