“Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
These were the words that Virginia Cavaliers head coach shared to his team in 2016, after the Hoos gave up a double-digit lead late in the second half to Syracuse in the Elite 8 to miss what seemed like their best shot to reach the Final Four.
Fast forward two years, the weeping endured as Virginia suffered perhaps the greatest upset in college basketball (sports?) history.
But now it’s 2019, and it’s morning. And for everyone in Charlottesville—either physically or emotionally—joy has finally come.
