Virginia, hello??

[Travelman6]

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

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

 

[Fishy]

I would be perfectly happy if they did not wake up.

 

[UconnU]

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.

 

[Madmannsucks]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Are they gonna be back to back #1's losing to a 16 seed? LOL!!!!!

 

[traitor71]

Their offense is like having a bad quarterback in football. You can lose to anyone.

 

[UconnU]

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.

 

[Travelman6]

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!

 

[jibsey]

It was unprecedented LAST year. If it happens again Virginia should be made to switch conferences with Gardner-Webb

 

[billybud]

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

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

 

[Dibbie]

Can you imagine?

 

[gsmooth]

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

Defense doesn't win championships, Kemba does

 

[spudzj6]

Refs making sure uva gets back in this thing

Lol, everyone is a terrible matchup for Virginia tournament time. Come on, it's a 1 vs. a 16. They should win by 30.

 

[the Q]

I had wisky beating them anyway. So I’ll take it

 

[UconnU]

We had a scare one year against a 16. Albany in 06 I believe?

 

[Mano]

This would be tremendous, I like this. Make it happen (again) basketball gods.

 

[Travelman6]

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.

 

[Dove]

Defense doesn't win championships, Kemba does

And Tyler Olander.

 

[alexd]

Down 11 at the under 12 if I remember. Came back and won by 11, 70-59.

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.

 

[RichZ]

Looks like the refs got a call from the committee during the half.

 

[Mots010]

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

 

[spudzj6]

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.
