After Virginia’s win over Texas Tech Monday, someone asked Kyle Guy if this was the biggest moment in his life.
He ranked it third.
Getting engaged was #1 which was cool. He ranked the championship as #3.
And #2?
Losing to UMBC.
The second greatest moment of his life was losing to #16 seed UMBC.
This really underscores the way Guy and the entire Virginia team, from Tony Bennett on down, turned that disaster to their advantage.
It also underscores how foolish it was for Duke students to try to arrange for UMBC point guard KJ Maura to attend the Duke-Virginia game in a bid to humiliate Virginia.
