Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 2538112, member: 548"] I appreciate your thoughts. Interesting comparing it to two of our worst losses ever. Watching our team devolve like that - both times - was excruciating. Virginia was thrown off balance by the loss of their player more than they anticipated and then the very style of play that took them to the heights of the ACC became their undoing. They are not a flexible team. Perhaps the nation should have taken that into account, but clearly most of us didn’t. Even though I took them out of my brackets as national champs, I still had them going to the Final Four because of my respect for their accomplishments this year. We were redeemed after the 2006 DePaul drubbing by winning the BET. I don’t know how the Virginia players will find redemption, but Bennett will help them do it. [/QUOTE]
