NCAA First Four Games

[WhereistheDove?]

With a real offensive onslaught, they might reach 30.

 

[aceboon]

32-14 CSU and they probably could go scoreless the rest of the game and still win

 

[Tenspro2002]

We're not even 3 hours into the Tournament and the Committee already looks like a joke after shoehorning traditional power Virginia into the field at the expense of more deserving teams, while universally downgrading the Mountain West.

 

[The Yakk]

Lol Tru TV game commentators ripping the committee for putting UVA in the tourney.

Are they supposed to do that?

 

[aceboon]

Alot of cutting in CSU's offense

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Some coaches go for athleticism at the expense of skill. Some favor skill over athleticism. Bennett seems to have scoured the earth for the most unathletic unskilled players he could find.

 

[connVA]

Wasn’t the committee chairman the UNC AD?

 

[Ripper32]

A performance like this should really pump up recruiting for the Hoos.

[Jimdish255]

Everybody knew they were bad. Everybody except the clowns on the committee.

 

[superjohn]

Tony Bennett coaches the most boring brand of basketball in the country and he's a putrid tournament coach. Dude owes Mamadi Diakite everything.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Spero makes a good point -- this Virginia program has been absolutely schizophrenic in the Tournament lately.

Get blown out by a 16 seed in 2018.
Win the Tournament in 2019.
Lose to 13 seeds in 2021 and 2023.
Embarrassing performance in the play-in game.

That’s not schizophrenic…..they absolutely sucked every year but one

 

[The Yakk]

Lol CSU wide open layups nearly every trip.

UVA's defense is as bad as their offense. No effort at all.

[aceboon]

This looks like the Colorado State I saw dice up Creighton early in the season, wouldn't surprise me at all if they beat Texas

Rather see them lose by 20 to further highlight exactly how horrific UVA actually is

 

[Jimdish255]

That was a nail-biter!

 

[superjohn]

I like Seth Greenberg but he just said this performance is not reflecting of that conference.

Sorry Seth, it's absolutely reflective of that conference. The ACC stinks these days.

Only thing worth watching the ACC for is DJ Burns Jr. He is now the face, and belly, of the ACC.

 

[Ripper32]

Possibly. Colorado doesn't have much of a frontline. Stanley could have a big game.

Schizophrenic? Sounds more like they got lucky once but have sucked every other chance they've had.

i for one, would love to see a mathchup of manbearpig from NCSU, and Lumpkin fron CU.

 

[GameTime]

This type of play shows the insanity of the committee. I am almost without words, but, I am not. I’ll just choose to keep them to myself because It. Doesn’t. Matter.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

UVA with a shot clock violation on their very first possession. I would laugh if it weren't so sad.

That ended up being one of their better offensive possessions this game

 

[FfldCntyFan]

This abomination of a team went 13-7 in the mighty ACC.

I'm serious here, the committee refused to acknowlege how truly mediocre the ACC was this past year.

 

[NJHoops]

What Wagner and Donald Copeland (St. Anthony ‘02, Seton Hall ‘06) have been able to accomplish is really kind of amazing. They only have 7 players available- their practices have been “no contact“ since December, yet they somehow manage to win the conference tournament and their first four game.

Things get a little tougher from here on out for 2 of the 3 coaches from Jersey City in the tournament, but I’m rooting for them.

 

[auror]

I'm serious here, the committee refused to acknowlege how truly mediocre the ACC was this past year.

The ACC was only going to get 4/15 schools in before NC State won, which is a lower % of schools than 3/11.

Yeah, but did they even warrant four (NC St excluded)?

He's still a VT guy.
