As you probably remember, some Cameron Crazies did a fundraiser and invited former UMBC star KJ Maura to Cameron for the Virginia game. The basic idea was to use him as a human taunt to remind UVA of its historic loss to #16 seed UMBC in last spring’s NCAA tournament.
As it turns out, UMBC coach Lane Odom would prefer to move on from last year’s big win and apparently called Coach K to have the invitation rescinded, which it has been.
And that’s probably a good thing.
There was almost zero chance that that stunt would have had a serious affect on Virginia and it had a reasonable chance of backfiring.
