Virginia board, if you're curious.

[HornacekFan1414]

Let's be real....every fan site has a bunch of D-bags, and the entire fan population should not be judged by them....we certainly have more than our share here....

Virginia is a damn good team and we are playing at our best. I could see it going either way, just hope we come locked in and take the W....

The ACC is killing it in this tournament, but I'm going to be sick of hearing it.

Every ACC team that advanced benefits as they face the lower seed of their second round potential matchup. Even UNC and Virginia got the 9 seed.

The ACC is killing it in this tournament, but I'm going to be sick of hearing it.

Here are the teams the ACC has beaten:
13 UNC Wilmington
12 Yale
16 FGCU
9 Providence
14 Buffalo
11 Wichita State
11 Michigan
14 Stephen F Austin
16 Hampton
9 Butler
7 Dayton

They've taken care of business against low seeds (And, man, I wish our conference could say the same), but outside of Miami over an 11 seed, there's not any great wins in there yet. Of course, no tournament game is a given, and that they've all handled them well is impressive.

We probably shouldn't be throwing the only beat lower seeded teams thing around.

The same is true of the three B12 teams that survived the opening round.

Another funny thing - only five of the current top 10 teams in KenPom remain, while only one of the KenPom #11-20 group has lost in the tournament.

I took a quick look at the board, and one thing has me curious. They're the Virginia Cavaliers, right? So why do most of their screen names have some form of "hoo" in them?

By the way, yes, that board is terrible.

I like how in one thread a fan says that ISU is a hick school and calls us the Plainsgobblers.

Va Tech at one time went by Gobblers as well as Hokies, not so much anymore. I lived in Blacksburg at one time. UVa = Iowa only a lot more elitist. This was a rip at Tech as much as us.

And here I thought that they wanted to be Who's in Whoville - only being from Virginia, they didn't understand the silent "W".

I'll avoid Grinch jokes in that case.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Man they are REALLY confident over there that they will hold us under 70. Heck someone said if they score 60 they win

 

[Cyclone1985]

I think Nader will be the x-factor.

Niang will get his, Monte will continue to be solid, and Matt is hitting everything. If Nader can knock down 2-3 threes, get some lay-ups, and give us 18 points, we win.

I think of this guy every time I see "Wahoo":

I'm not sure this should be our argument.

The Big 12 has had some bad bounces... not that they should have been in the position to lose that way... and the ACC/SEC has had some good bounces and I would argue that there was some kind of extra-terrestrial intervention at the end of the UNI game. It's too bad because unless all three of our teams advance we will start to earn a choking reputation...

I really believe that intervention stuff. Didn't Blum talk about the Men in Hats a few years ago. Something is afoot.

Is that all he has to do is give us 18?

Each time I see a UVA fan defend that board layout, it reminds me of the "Settlers" commercials.
