2018-2019 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

I feel this UVA team once again looks like an upset victim in the tournament. They have good enough talent to win a lot of games, but relying so heavily on playing low-scoring games, all it takes is a decent team with one guy who is really good and can break down your defense to send you packing.

UVA has a small rotation with no depth, leaving them susceptible to refs who calls fouls b/c they don't recognize good physical defense (this also afflicts Big 10 teams in the tourney), as well as to injury. They have taken several key injuries leading up to or right at the beginning of the NCAA tourney as a top seed. Last year it was De'Andre Hunter, the only real NBA prospect on the team, and the most consistent player on offense with his nice mid-range shot. Both Guy and Jerome are very good players, but they are also both streaky. Guy has disappeared in big games from time to time. UVA had an historically great season last year with the most sound defense I can remember ever seeing in a college team, only to be capped off by an historically bad loss.

Pray for me my brothers.

This is the one day of the year that I cross over to the dark side.

The Ryder Cup of college basketball. Teams of teams facing one another - the B1G/ACC challenge.

The day I root for Michigan - if I have to.

If the overall competition is already decided it wont happen. But if we need a win when Michigan and UNC go toe-to-toe tonight you will hear me shouting "Go B...."

"Go Bl...."


Aw fuck 'em. I hope the Tar Heels rip them apart.

I'll never say it out loud. Instead I'll just disparage them for screwing things up as the game goes. "Of course you missed that shot, fucking useless weasels." If they win, yay for the B1G I guess, if they lose...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you useless scumbags!
