This is going to be a buzz-kill after that well-played Indiana game. Back to the hacking, bricklayer version of basketball.

I hate watching UVa. Slopfest

This game is SLIGHTLY better the Wisconsin-Pittsburgh yesterday.
First team to 50 will win this game.

Corrected it for you.

It's just as bad, although since UVa is a media darling, they won't be criticized for their play

With Michigan St gone, and a weak #3, this bracket is as easy as its going to get for Virginia. Not making the final 4 this year would be a blown opportunity. Right now they are -110 to win the region.

This is also good news for us. If Virginia goes out, the entire Midwest is wide open.

If UVA loses your looking at Butler vs. Iowa State and Utah/Gonzaga vs. Syacuse/Middle Tennessee.

I mean I already thought the Midwest region was destined for TBS next week but that slate wouldn't even be good enough for TruTv.

Not to look ahead, but what kind of team is Butler this year? Haven't seen them play at all this year, but are they still playing the same style as when Stevens was there? I would think that's a matchup nightmare for us, should we advance that far.

You forgot to mention how much fun it is to see Kentucky lose.

They actually play at a fast pace. They have one outstanding three point shooter.

Uh, you mean moreso than UVA, who we haven't beaten like ever?

IF we get that far, I think we'd certainly prefer to face the higher seed, especially since:
A - Virginia has had our # even worse than Pitt of late, and with more talent and better coaching.
B - it would be yet another potential scalp on the JAB NCAA Revenge Tour, should we play Butler and beat them.

But, let's take care of business against MTSU first, and worry about what comes after, after.

I already know Virginia is a bad match for us. My point with the Butler question was to possibly curb any enthusiasm that Butler may be the more favorable draw. That's why I was asking what type of style they're running now (since the Butler of 2010-2011 was a horrible type of team for us to face).

Butler looks like they would be a tough match too. They are playing pretty good ball.

Bottom line - you are asking if we'd prefer to face the 1-seed, or the 9-seed, should we have the opportunity to do so.
The correct answer to this is, always - the 9-seed.

And a team that hasn't faced our zone and won.

48 points in the first 20 minutes.
35 points in a tad over 6 minutes to start the second. Did they just realize its OK to score? At least its more enjoyable.

Similar to this thread. Actually, thats being too generous to the thread. Im not sure why there hasnt been more interest in this thread even if the game hadnt been as close as it has.

Where the bleep was this UVA vs the hated UNC? Gill was about the only beast keeping them in it during the 2nd half at key moments.
