Guess our year wasn’t that bad

[AdamaNation]

could always be UVA

 

[WrenchFan69]

Yeah it would have sucked to win 2 ACC championships this year

 

[HooperScooper]

Well they had a great year but I’d hate to be known as the only number 1 seed to lose their first game. Might be a while before we see it again.

Lol, losing to a 16 seed negates those accomplishments and then some. That’s as embarrassing as it gets.

Would rather feel terrible for 1 night than for 2 years.

And Bill Buckner was the 1981 AL batting champ but for some reason people remember him for something else

40 years from now people will talk about the night #16 seed UMBC beat #1 Virginia. I would say UVa's year just became worse than ours.

 

[Robertelamin]

Congrats to UVA on making history!

P5 to split away next year. Never again.

 

[80shusky]

Eh, yea it sucks. And it will stick to them. But next year they'll probably win 20+ games and make the tourney again while we will likely be struggling to field a team with a new coach so I'm not really sure if it is worse or not.

Dude...probably

Who cares? They won't win anything next year either. This year they are immortal for the worst reasons.

 

[PAHusky]

They lost a historic game, we finished bottom half of the table in a pathetic league. They’re a trivia question answer forever, we’re currently a joke. Tossup

 

[Travelman6]

Nah, I would rather be uconn. At least they have 5 final fours and 4 championships. Virginia will forever be THAT 1 seed... And i think that will haunt them for some time. Every time they are in a close game... Especially in March... That feeling starts to creep in and....

 

[traitor71]

I would argue they have the two most embarrassing losses in NCAA history. Losing to Chaminade back in the Ralph Sampson days, and now this.

 

[AdamaNation]

Exactly

 

[Huskyforlife]

Whenever I say something stupid, I think of the Boneyard, and suddenly I feel better.

With 4 rings. Good fan though. The struggle is real. Ollie has been fired.

I wouldn't go as far to say UConn is a joke. It's not like they went winless in conference like BC and Pitt

 

[ivrytontusker]

I hope this helps everyone here appreciate what we have. The success from 1999-2014 was unique not just among the history of most other college programs but obviously among the history of our program too.

This is the type of loss that damages a coach and program. This will hover over Virginia and Tony Bennett FOREVER.

I mean, Virginia will be good again next year in all likelihood, and Tony Bennett will always be a high end coach.

But this will have a similar effect to the Atlanta Falcons blowing a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl. Damage to the psyche of the coach and players for the following season.

Really like Bennett’s interview afterward. Total class act.

Kind of like how northern Iowa lost a 12 point lead to Texas am In 35 seconds in the round of 32? People already forgot... People are odd like that.

It makes you feel bad for the program. They are a class program across the board. I can't imagine being a UVA fan right now. Unreal.
