We get the Winner: UVA and Colorado State - 8:10pm on truTV

[Js1 85,269]

Offensive explosion! 

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

These teams appear to be much worse than their records suggest.

[dcar00 14,151]

so far not skeered.

[Newdoc 3,439]

Number 20 on Co St appears to be the Great Value version of Brock Cunnimgham.

The ACC was 6th out of the P6 conferences and the MWC was right behind them at 7th overall.

The difference between the Big 12 and the 2nd best rated P6 conference (B1G) was greater than the ACC's difference to B1G.

CSU forwards seem kinda chonky but are getting lots of good, point-blank looks.

Both these teams could shoot 30 percent tonight and brick every shot from BTA ... and then hit 60 percent against us. Just how it goes.

[ATXbronco 4,062]

The only time of the year I remember what TruTV channel is.

 

Just tuning in, has everyone decided who we root for yet?

The Big 12 refs will make sure you lose.

I'm telling @Pancho.

[Brian Fantana 6,678]

Bring on his bitch ass

I just looked at UVa's schedule and the only "ranked" team they beat all year was aggy (at the time).

[ATXbronco 4,062]

I'll root for UV then, so we can beat the team that beat Aggy.

[HtownHorn 14,663]

Man, both of these teams look slow and unathletic.

[CashMcCoy 3,199]

Didn’t realize CSU’s Stevens played at Allen. Wonder if he ever dreamed of a UT offer.

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Is this the first time either team has played with 10-foot rims? Yikes. 

[ATXbronco 4,062]

[CurlyDumps 4,466]

CSU band girls. WOOF!

[HtownHorn 14,663]

Virginia has the former Sooner Groves on their team. Fuck them.

[Braff Zacklin 13,552]

I feel like the score has been 18-14 since ... well, about 1814.

Don't @ Vic.

[Js1 85,269]

Virginia may never score again. We playing COST

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

It's probably not going to happen but wish we were getting UVA. They are atrocious offensively. 

[shadow_operative 15,932]

csu up 22-14, and this one is just about done. not sure if i can see UVA scoring nine more points.

And yet, Shedrick left because he couldn't get enough minutes. 

[dcar00 14,151]

virginia looks very unathletic.  of course mcneely would probably go 11-15 from 3 against us

Yeah but this style of play is why he left. I can't really blame him for that. 

This UVA team probably shouldn't have even made the tournament when you look at the advanced metrics. 

[Brian Fantana 6,678]

It really seems like Tony Bennett has not adapted well at all to the changes made to the game in the 2020s.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

reece beekman and tyrone branyan need to switch names.

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

OU and K-State would beat UVA. 

That's the difference between the Big 12 and ACC. Also, not to be that guy but OU should have made the tourney over UVA. They play in the Big 12 and finished with the higher NET.

Can you imagine how furious fans of the various left out teams must be right now?

Is he that good in any style of play? Not if he has to protect the rim.

[dcar00 14,151]

I'm glad they kept the dirt burglars out but Pitt and Indiana State should be pissed...

I think he was fine at the beginning of the year until his injury history caught up with him. 

I can't really blame a guy for wanting to leave this UVA system.

OU should be pissed. They're a much better team and finished higher in NET. 

 

[shadow_operative 15,932]

UVA’s peers in AdjO: 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Virginia being #193 in adjusted offense (Kenpom) might have been too high. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,052]

First one to 30 wins. 

[dcar00 14,151]

14 points in one half. holy shit.

Wagner or Howard would beat both of these teams.

[Prepuce of Doom 21,052]

I hope that Colorado State takes the air out of the ball for the entire second half.

Tony Bennett - setting the game of basketball back by 40 years 

Almost half of the 1st half scoreless

[The Ace of Aces 5,175]

Colorado State going to be a tough game vs this Texas team. They’ll get thunder of they okay anything like they did vs K State. 

[jimmyjazz 45,880]

Well, I don't want to come across as cocky, but neither of these teams is very scary.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

0 FG for uva over the last 10:30 of the 1H.

UVA won't even be a top 70 Kenpom team after tonight. It's just incredible they actually made the tournament.

Nope. CSU reminds me of OU.

[Js1 85,269]

It’s hard to get a feel for CSU because of how fucking inept UVA Looks

Dean Smith is asking if they removed the shot clock for this game

[jimmyjazz 45,880]

Yea, we're kinda used to a gauntlet.

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Colorado State is still a good draw in the round of 64. They can beat us but we could have played a much tougher opponent in the first game. 

It's just disappointing in the context of UVA because 55 points wins against them. That was a dream scenario. Drawing a team that should of never made the tournament and can't score would have been beautiful. 

[YGIFS 19,449]

14 points in one half?  Is that a thing?  

And that second line alto sax player for CSU is older than the O/U of this game.

Their style of play is completely unwatchable. I kinda wonder how much more time the 2019 title buys Bennett because this is embarrassing for the sport as a whole.
