Reece Beekman's late brother helped make him the person and athlete he is today. Bryce's memory still fuels the #UVA basketball star. “We both ended up fulfilling our dreams, playing on the Division I level. We were both doing our thing.”

A tired-but-happy #Hokies coach Mike Young came into the post-game interview room and immediately apologized for finishing his ham sandwich in front of us. Said he got pretty hungry in the double OT win over UNC.

I've seen a few replays now and, the best I can tell, #UVA 's Reece Beekman's block of Duke's Kyle Filipowski was clean, then the officials whistled a foul for body contact. Upon review, the body contact came after the clock expired, so it was waived off. AS BEST AS I CAN TELL.

So, having learned nothing from the early-pandemic run on toilet paper, people are now out stockpiling gas creating - wait for it - the very shortage of gas they were afraid of. Man, we can be impressively stupid at times.
