Surprised there isn't one of these threads...so I'll start.

Wow, this Virginia / Virginia Tech game is awesome! :)
 
#2 and undefeated Virginia Cavaliers walked into a hornet's nest at The Castle today! VA Tech up 43-33 with 10:34 to go! The place is going crazy!
 
Wow, a 12-2 UVA run...they showing why #2 and undefeated. Great heart & determination in pretty severe adversity & circumstance...impressed I am.
 
Trivia question. Which team has the most wins in the last 5 years? I'll give you a hint, it's not a big program like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke or N Carolina. I'm a big time homer for this team, sort of another hint.

Really good guess. The answer is:

Yeah you could say I am a big time homer.
 
Tough for me to watch Syracuse this year. This is the worst offensive team I can remember in Syracuse history as far as fundamentals go. They are terrible at shooting and passing. Nice to see the guy I saw in high school in Rakeem Christmas finally translate that game over to the college game and I think he will probably be drafted.

Other than that, not many bright spots on the team.

I see they are at NC at 6:00 central on ESPN. I'll watch the first half or so even though I don't like Roy Williams.

Cuse had a lot of room to grow from where they were in the beginning of the year...had Michigan and Nova beat early on and threw those games away. Actually, I thought that if they could just get a couple big wins and get in the tournament, they could beat anybody with that size. But without McCullough they're done, this is a rebuilding year. You can't go anywhere with a 6 man rotation.

They should be real good next year though...McCullough back, Cooney back, Joseph hopefully will learn how to dribble, Patterson can score if he gets his confidence, Roberson will be a 12-10 guy, heck, maybe even Coleman will finally be healthy enough to play.

Plus they've got a top-10 class next year....4 McD All-Americans and possibly Thomas Bryant as a 5th.

You can say this at pretty much all major programs around the country, but the rebuild won't be a long process for Cuse.
 
Was kind of shocked to see that player dismissal by Coach 1K ...Suliabon? However you spell his name... but looking forward to Duke playing Virginia tomorrow!

Duke better bring their A game or they will lose again.
 
Johnnies bounce back after almost beating Dook last weekend, and taking a loss to Creighton during the week...

Louisville & UNC is a good battle right now.....

My up and down Hoyas bounce back after getting swept by Xavier....

ND took a loss to Pitt in a battle that resembled a Big East Game....

Lets go Cavs!!!!! (I hate dook!!!)

Actually saw this coming and called it today but my guess was a loss by 12-15 points. Longest winning streak in the country coming to an end isn't the end of the world. They just have problems scoring and it caught up with them today. All season I've said this is a Sweet 16 team at best and possibly not that if they don't come to play their 2nd round game. This will knock them down from #12 but that was overrating them putting them there in the first place. UNI comes to town for the rematch in 4 weeks so that should be interesting. The NCAA tourney starts in 6 weeks and they will get their 5 or 6 seed and go from there. I always root for mid-majors once March gets here.
