After barely making the NCAA Tournament as one of the penultimate seeds Sunday, Virginia (23-11, 13-7 ACC) had to round up the troops and head to Dayton, Ohio for their opening matchup Tuesday night against Colorado State (26-10, 10-8 MW) in the First Four. From the moment of tipoff, frayed offensive schemes and Colorado State’s unceasing guard play meant that the forecast remained dire the whole way for the Cavaliers — they fell 67- 42 in one of the least competitive games in Virginia’s recent tournament memory.

Ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Boston College, Coach Tony Elliott has reinstated senior quarterback Tony Muskett as Virginia’s starter. But while Muskett was out with an injury he sustained in the opening game against Tennessee, Elliott and Cavalier fans have seen potential in his replacement, freshman quarterback Anthony Colandrea. The decision to stick with Muskett this weekend indicates a desire to stick to their initial preseason plans for at least another game to see if any changes can result in wins. Because Colandrea is widely seen as the future of the position for the Cavaliers, even if Muskett gives Virginia a better chance to win this season, bad play Saturday could spell the end for the senior’s time as the starting quarterback.
