Did you see what they did to MSU guys getting the ball in the low paint?

Sometimes the whole goddam team got hands on the ball.

Defense, style, system, toughness, size and just ebough offense. They'll also have the best player on the court, I really like this team

Need to keep an eye on Tariq Owens, the key big for TT... is he going to be 100%?
He came back in for awhile but they took him out. I bet today he is stiff and sore and perhaps hobbled...
If not for Owens I would already be all over TT with both feet, they have been pounding the spread, they are from a great conference... VA has not been covering, nor has the ACC this tournament, especially favorites... though also a great conference, they have been overrated this year, have been terrible ATS.
In football a team wins by 21 but scored on a pick 6 or fumble return and / or punt return. In hoops, it is 1-2-3 points at a time on "O" & "D" so it is more indicative of performance at this time of the year when everybody is motivated it matters a lot.
VA is good but incredibly lucky to beat Purdue and now Auburn.
I agree it is TT, with an awesome defense, a solid NBA PG, + good coaching all the way but need to know about Owens.
GL!

Didn’t you also have Auburn losing by double digits to UK???

How can you say Virginia is overrated? They lost only 3 games (twice to Duke and to FSU in the conference tourney). Their SOS is the same as TT, Virginia is rated higher than TT in the Sagrin Rating, Virginia is #1 on KenPom through Saturdays games. Yes TT is a solid team but I think the Cavs are being undervalued by their close calls in winning games. Eye test and public preception is in TT’s favour right now. It would not surprise me if TT won, but very surprised at how so many are already not giving Virginia any chance tomorrow night. Should be a great game.

Lol did you really expect Tech to be favored? The future line was 4.5 before these games yesterday

They just win ugly. And have yet to play a solid game


They played great against Purdue to my standards. Problem was Carson Edwards could shoot a beach volleyball through the basket that night.

If they were a sexier team 100 out of 100 times the public would have been fallen in love with them months ago.

I dont think there is more of a Cinderella story than the first team ever to lose to a 16 seed and then winning the entire tournament the next year with pretty much the same players. But for some reason the public has not fallen in love with this story. I guess because nothing they do really catches the public eye. It catches my eye though.

Yes I had KY, I haven't won every tourney game, have you? I saw NBA bound Washington back for KY, and NBA bound Okeke out for Auburn, figured the KY bigs would dominate inside, and had seen KY guards on "D" minimize Wofford's 3 pt shooters. Auburn bigs compensated, KY did not execute, IMO poor coaching, too, by Calapari.

Yes, VA is overrated, the whole ACC was this tourney (last year they did well), especially the favorites, especially the three #1 seeds... how did they do ATS (look it up, please, it matters)? VA is solid but luckiest team on the planet to beat Purdue and Auburn, both in the final seconds on crazy plays. By the way, Brown had the flu and had to sit out here and there and that hurt Auburn though he got back in late and hit some big 3's.

Again, teams in the tourney, look for those that keep pounding the spread against those that keep losing or barely squeeking by. And also look for conference ATS... by the way the Big 12 is top notch hoops, for years, this yr KU had injuries, so did K State or they would be in the fray. There are other things to look at, of course, and yes VA -1.5 is now a small spread for VA to cover. But TT (if Owens is OK) should win SU by 7-10.

Only advantage I see for Tech is they are better at scoring 2’s. It’s going to take a lot of high IQ basketball players to win. UVA seems to win by teams being dumb. Purdue unforced turn over at the end...Auburn fouling 3 pt shooter at the buzzer. No IQ. Tech has that. On an elevated court I don’t think the 3s fall as much. BUT why the fuck is everybody on Tech now? I was liking Tech over UVA before everyone started liking it so now shit

"LOL", no I didn't, but they absolutely should be, they're simply the better team

personally after watching the last few games,this championship is one Tuff call. most watching last nights game would probably go to Tech,as VA looked very beatable an tech beat up a good Mich st team, and was all over there outside shooters,but VA has a good dee as well an imho better outside shooters.i see a very close game -last few minutes and whoever gets key calls will win it.Both play within them selves.gonna be tuff scoring in this one. in fact line now at 117.5 is the lowest total in ncaa history for the championship!

You going to mock me now? I was laughing because of your reaction that they weren’t favored. Is your thread not meant to be funny? I couldn’t tell.
