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

 

2011 VCU was #84 in kenpom when they received an at-large bid. will forever be the worst at-large bid of all time. it is truly unbelievable to think about how much shaka smart owes to that selection committee. that’s like some “sell your soul to the devil” type shit right there. it defies all explanation and he owes his entire career to that one completely inexplicable decision by the tourney committee.

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.  

They only scored 41 total points against Wisconsin earlier this year. This is nothing new for them. 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Man, UVA has fallen from the summit of Everest all the way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Same coach who won it all in 2019, but hardly the same results. It's almost like you need talent or something.

i made a joke about them not scoring nine more total points after they’d hit 14, and since that joke they are literally on pace to score 0 more points. it’s unbelievable.

[dcar00 14151]

what Jay is trying to say, kids, is UVA sucks...

[jimmyjazz 45881]

Yeah, that's a good point.  No 2011 tourney, no Shaka, ever.

I wonder if Bennett is still using the same offense as he was in 2019 when we played them for the title. They finished with the #2 offense that season. Their average has been #120 ever since.

[CurlyDumps 4466]

I was surprised to hear that UVA hasn't won a tourney game since their title game.

Having three dudes drafted off that team probably had something to do with it.

Buffalo Wild Wings boxout vs Lopez brothers as leaders in the clubhouse for commercials that will cause me to burn my eyes out/cut my ears off before the tournament is over 

[ATXbronco 4062]

Dude threw a bullet lob that nearly took #1's hand off at the basket

[UTexasFight 9428]

Probably said above but Old Man Bennett’s approach is genius. 
he ain’t got no time to waste watching this garbage 

[HtownHorn 14663]

Somehow the committee thought Virginia was better than CSU.

The Capital One '80s supergroup montage commercial is not to be overlooked. 

[HtownHorn 14663]

That last shot by Virginia sums up this game perfectly.

[Prepuce of Doom 21052]

BOOOOOOO!!!! 

[ATXbronco 4062]

UV SCORES!!!!!!!!

[HtownHorn 14663]

Holy shit. Virginia nearly went an hour between baskets.

[ATXbronco 4062]

I guess it's UVA not UV

I would guess still running movers & blockers after the spacing changes might have more to do with it.

how is the line not at zero?

he's had good season records and is fairly young so I expect Bennett to bounce back but oof not good tournament the last 4 years.

This is all I get when they go to commercial break

[UTexasFight 9428]

Any of it is better than watching UVA on offense 

[ATXbronco 4062]

 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

21 points after 27 minutes of in-game time.

Hate to see a great coach--and Bennett obviously is/was--fall on hard times like that. WTF is he doing?

[dcar00 14151]

that may be the first 3 second call I have seen all year.

[TxTower 650]

Virginia playing like they know they shouldn’t be in the tournament.

[shadow_operative 15932]

it was really cool of the selection committee to throw csu a totally hapless opponent to get them primed and ready to play us in the actual tournament two days from now.

Not recruiting NBA players.

[BigTEAMLittleme 198]

We’d better be ready to play Thursday.  The last Kansas State effort level probably won’t beat these guys.

[ATXbronco 4062]

Smart basketball guys - when your team is shooting 17% from the field, why don't you start chasing free throws?
WTF is this.  Only five free throws?  I'd be taking it to the basket on every touch.

[HtownHorn 14663]

Virginia has now surpassed their 1st half output.

KSU is easily better than both of these teams.

I have CSU beating Texas - I think they’re a better team. Note: I’ve said all year Texas lacks defense and guards and that’s an instant out in my eyes.

we should own them inside and athletically.  just have to guard the drives.

Well they are also shitty at the FT line.

CSU has zero answer for Disu. If he is ready to go we should be fine.

Their 44% free throw percentage is TWICE as good as their field goal percentage.  
SHIT!

Is Shaka still coaching this team? Fuck what a stupid post.

So... Virginia hasn't won a tourney game since their title?   Oof.

now that dude really sucked as a coach.  easily the best basketball loss ever.  Charlie KU was best loss ever in Texas history.

I did like how they asked Shaka about the play in game in 2011 and that winning breeds energy...from Mr. First Round Bounce Out

If you aren’t convinced that terry is any better, he may as well be.
