Down 26-14. My goodness, lets go guys, wake up.

Surely they wake up and end up crushing their 16 seed opponent.

Virginia struggles when they aren’t hitting 3s. Also, their slow down style allows inferior teams to hang around. It’s much more effective against better competition.

This was a terrible matchup for Virginia. Gardner-Webb is legit they already have 2 wins over ACC teams this year, Georgia Tech and Wake.

I mean, come to think of it, I think I had them going out in the sweet 16, so maybe I would not mind them losing. I can not get home soon enough to witness this!

Virginia has a plodding, deliberate offense...not good for coming back when down by double digits...

Also...three point shooting teams give them trouble.

Here I thought I would take Virginia minus the pt spread (-22.5). Damn. GW is slipping the pick before setting it on the P/R knowing Virginia likes to hard show on those. Bennett needs to make the adjustment

We had a scare one year against a 16. Albany in 06 I believe?
Down 12 at the under 12 if I remember. Came back and won by 13, 72-59. First lead with around 6 minutes to go. That was a very scary day. As bad as they played, the 25 point swing in less than 12 minutes was impressive.

Yep.... I remember leaving Sliders when they fell behind by 11. Didn't turn the game on in the car. By the time I got home, we were pulling away.

Even just losing at halftime to a 16 puts you in elite company.

Started with 6 minutes to go in the first half. Plenty of touch and questionable calls against GW, and no calls on the other end. There was a loose ball trip, no call led to a touch foul on the other end.

Clear hook underneath just a few possessions ago - hate that the hooking is NEVER called.

Except against us.

That particular one was particularly egregious. The replay from the baseline had the ref looking right at it and not calling it.

GA Tech and Wake are not legit AAC teams. Wake also lost to Houston Baptist.
