Virginia guard Kyle Guy doesn't remember the score from the Cavaliers' preseason scrimmage at Villanova on Nov. 5. But he remembers one thing about the closed-door session: The Cavaliers more than held their own.
That's why Guy was so surprised the Cavaliers weren't even ranked in most preseason polls. As far as Guy was concerned, it was a pretty big snub for a program that had won at least 23 games and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament in each of the previous four seasons.
"We don't like to listen to the noise very often because people really don't like our style of play," Guy said.
