Wow, someone started a thread with, "How are we going to beat both Iowa & MSU in Chicago?" I think he was actually serious, and nobody has corrected him yet...

That place is hideous. Tigerboard might look down on it.

They seem to be underestimating Niang big time. They think Brogdon can shut him down all alone like he has past shooting forwards they've played in the ACC.

Not saying ISU is going to win, but you don't shut down Niang with only one player, no matter how good of a defender he is. You scheme to get the ball out of his hands/deny him the entry pass in the low post. If he catches it in good position you've already lost. If you double him at this point he finds the open man, if you leave him one on one he scores.

Or you run at him on defense to get him fouls so he has to sit on the bench. Pretty much the only way to stop him is to get the ball out of his hands or get him out of the game.

If I were UVa I'd focus on stopping ou other players (Thomas, Nader, Morris), because Niang probably won't be stopped, but can't carry the team on his own. If The trio of Niang, Morris, and Thomas keep playing like they have ISU will be an extremely tough out.

If they want to let Niang have one-on-one matchups, that's fine. I think the only time he's been guarded straight up all year for any considerable amount of time was this last game, so.

I don't mind the layout of their board, to each their own, but to have to pay for that....I'm good

They talk about ISU lurkers, but they must have some lurkers here since they started a thread about ISU fans talking trash about their board.

Anyway...I just want a good game.

Should we start a kickstarter to get Virginia a messageboard from the 21st century? It would be nice to contribute to the less fortunate.

Is it really trash talking when is a observation that is quite clear to everyone? We're not even saying it to them

They stated in one of their own threads that when other fanbases visit their website they all say the same thing about how ****** their board looks. Who cares, anyway? Based on what little I read from their board, they're a bunch of douchecanoes and can go **** themselves.

Guys, that message board layout is all by design. Think of all the ads you can get displayed by making each individual post a brand new page.

Page views for days.
