In the wake of last year's tragic shooting that killed three players, Virginia's Tony Elliott said 'it was just joy to see these young men smile' after Saturday's win vs. UNC.
Virginia coach Tony Elliott knew he had a team ready to make a breakthrough. He had no idea it would happen the way it did: On the road, in historic fashion.on Saturday night is the pure joy in the locker room. Because only they know how much they have endured since last Nov. 13, when Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry wereTo put it simply, Elliott told ESPN on Sunday afternoon, his team has not stopped believing since that tragic day.
"This isn't the only way that it's going to be measured, but it was awesome to see the young men smiling and dancing and having joy in the locker room."It was the first road win in Virginia history against a top-10 ranked opponent, and it was the largest upset win by an ACC team sinceVirginia opened this season 0-5 -- three of those five losses came by three points or less, all of them in the final minutes of the game.
"There's three things in life you don't get back. That's time, words and opportunity," Elliott said."We don't get back those opportunities that we missed in the first half of the season, so let's focus on what we can control and how we play. What are the things we need to do better? I think the guys took that to heart."
"That's what I believe is the motivating factor. These young men, those in particular that were here last year, they've been through something that forced them to come together and believe in each other. So they truly understand what it means to believe. Why yesterday? I don't really know. That's for the Lord to reveal in due time. We kept believing if we persevered and stick together, and we keep the right perspective, then our reward will come at the appropriate time.
