Yikes. Gotta change my bracket

 

[Cusesky8214]

They will get bounced

 

[NineOneSeven]

Bummer. Of all teams, we can definitely understand how much that sucks.

 

[obliterata]

Wow that's bad news for them, he's had a heck of a year including the winning basket in the miracle win at Louisville. I still think they can make the Final Four but it just got harder.

 

[cuseinseattle]

Changing my bracket now.

 

[CusefanATL]

I literally submitted 1 of my brackets with UVA winning it all 30 min ago. There goes $25.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yup. Gotta change the bracket. HUGE news

 

[pearl31]

They will get bounced

would have anyway

 

[Eric15]

If we can't win it all, UVA is on a short list of teams that I wouldn't mind to see win a title. I really like Tony Bennett.

Smart move by TB to hold off on announcing that injury until after NCAAT selection. I think he learned that from HoF coach JAB.

Andddd I literally just submitted my bracket with UVA winning it all.

Then logged on and saw this.

see THIS proves it pays to be a career procrastinator !

I don't particularly care for UVA but if someone from the ACC was going to win it might as well been them. I was all set to pick them as my winner. Now I am not sure who to pick. Ouch.

 

[Briancuse]

Tough break this gives me a reason to pick Arizona to beat them

 

[Edfromsodus]

Justin Anderson broke a finger a few years ago. Came back for the tourney, but wasn't the same player. Poor UVA.

i've been meaning to start procratinating

This dude is the reason we are dancing.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Yikes. This is like the AO injury for us in 2010. They’re still good, but he’s their most explosive player.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

This ruins their chances at getting bounced at the elite 8 ... now they get bounced at the sweet 16

I was certain they would win it. I am stunned. Paralyzed. Do they have a chance to win without?????

Huge blow for them for sure. Though, AO's injury was probably a bit more significant as he was a starter and central focal point contributor, whereas Hunter comes off the bench. Probably splitting hairs though...brutal for UVA and its fans.

 

[JoeySimz]

Wow, that is just horrible for them. They were dominant this year.

I feel really bad for them. Not sure if I would feel this bad for any other team besides us.

Hope they weather the storm or Arizona might just roll to the final with 10 retroactively ineligible players.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

That is awful...I don't get too worked up about much when ti comes to SU sports but I felt physically sick walking back to my office from the Garden after Onuaku went down...

It is not often that a teams not named NC, Duke, Kentcuky and Carolina have all the pieces to win it all and Virginia did this year.

I definitely feel for their fans (and for the poor kid)...

 

[HOFCeluck]

As a Syracuse fan how can you not feel bad for UVA fans?
