KeymasterI feel bad for Virginia … I really do.
Sparty has a couple of games to play before they’re in Indianapolis, Grant.
My bracket is shite. I had ISU in the F4.

ParticipantUVA just ran into a buzzsaw. Is Duke next? : D
03/22/2015 at 2:19 PM #82113JasonP
ParticipantSame here, but I’d like our chances if we get them – knowing we gotta go through ‘ville or Northern Iowa first. Clamp down on Trice and our bigs match up well with them.
03/22/2015 at 2:20 PM #82114JasonP
ParticipantI think Duke will be fine. But Louisville should be worried.
03/22/2015 at 2:21 PM #82115wufpup76
KeymasterWere a State-State match-up to happen, I think we match up with them well … if we respond to their physicality.
Trice is a good player, but he makes some poor decisions … Plus we have one of those really good defending guards.

ParticipantCrazy to think the regular season ACC champ is the first ACC team out of the tourney.
Sparty outhoos the Wahoos…
Bye!

ParticipantCan’t help but think the committee knew what they were doing with this potential Sparty/UVA matchup. Like Izzo can’t beat UNx, Bennett struggles against Izzo. Not enough offense will always hurt UVA in this tourney. If they face a defensive minded team and can’t hit, it’ll be over every time.
03/22/2015 at 2:24 PM #82118wufpup76
KeymasterEverybody writing Michigan State into the Final Four already is absolutely fine by me. By all means, let them be the team talked about and narrative built around.
03/22/2015 at 2:26 PM #82119JeremyH
ParticipantIts not how you start, its how you FINISH.
03/22/2015 at 2:26 PM #82120bill.onthebeach
ParticipantIn the the postgame… Izzo seemed “surprised” that his team did as good today as they did…
That might be difficult to repeat…
Agreed… UVA is not a comeback team…
Some version of “live by the sword, die by the sword” … without a sword…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!03/22/2015 at 2:26 PM #82121JeremyH
ParticipantWho is more worrisome, Mich St. or Oklahoma?
03/22/2015 at 2:28 PM #82122JasonP
ParticipantSparty > Okie…but I know nothing about Northern Iowa, so hard to say. They might be ridiculously good.

C’mon now, you know we don’t count un-hatched chickens 🙂
03/22/2015 at 2:31 PM #82124bill.onthebeach
Participantdontworryaboutit…
We just GOTT to play our game until somebody beats us…
As long we continue to play seven on five…
It’s much more important for the other team to figure us out…
than the reverse.Plus… teams like MSU that like to play physical will catch a game with some of those zebras from foreign countries and get nickle and dimed…

ParticipantI watched a little of SDSU in their conference tourney and wasn’t impressed. Duke should dismantle them.

According to Stat God, they’re (UNI) one of the best defensive teams in the country. And they are a really solid team. Watch the Louisville-UNI game if you’re able, even though it could be all-time ugly.
UNI is what Brad Brownell wishes Clemson could be.

just a general question : )
And I’m curious about Oklahoma, haven’t seen them play yet.03/22/2015 at 2:39 PM #82129wufpup76
KeymasterJust giving you a hard time 😉
Oklahoma is Lon Kruger solid … OU-Dayton gonna be a fun match-up. Dayton will have the crowd on their side.
(edit: spelling)
03/22/2015 at 2:41 PM #82130MrPlywood
ParticipantOther games are way more fun when we don’t make an early exit in ours.
Agreed, especially with the accompanying highlights and constant mention of NC State in the Sweet 16.
03/22/2015 at 2:41 PM #82131bill.onthebeach
ParticipantWell… I’m betting there won’t be any “bad” defensive teams in the S16…
except the Bruins… who arguably GOTT the easiest draw in the last ten years.Somebody must have paid somebody for that.

Yeah, just looked at their schedule this season. Good wins vs Notre Dame, Wichita St, and Iowa. They definitely clamp down on scoring. Not feeling good about Louisville beating them, but I’m not sure UNI has seen that type of athleticism in a bit.
03/22/2015 at 2:46 PM #82133JasonP
ParticipantSomebody must have paid somebody for that.
Right you are. OC and LA TV market money is good money.
03/22/2015 at 2:51 PM #82136bill.onthebeach
Participant^You mean… having the HOLES showcased in Southern californica ain’t going to bring in big boatloads of cash???
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!03/22/2015 at 2:51 PM #82137MrPlywood
ParticipantUpdating the Pack since Feb 11: Loss, 3 wins, loss, 3 wins, loss, 2 wins and counting… In that stretch they beat #9, #15, #2 and #2.
03/22/2015 at 2:54 PM #82138wufpup76
KeymasterYeah, just looked at their schedule this season. Good wins vs Notre Dame, Wichita St, and Iowa
Minor correction (I’m being that guy) – they did not play Notre Dame.
Schedule was rather lacking. 17 wins vs. 150+
