I just looked, its like 3 mins into the 2nd half and they're still stuck on 14 points

I said it back on Sunday. There was one team that had no business being in this tournament and that team is Virginia. They have proven just that in one half. Nobody can say that the eye test showed Virginia to be a better team than Indiana St or St John's.
The fact that we have to be subjected to this horrific offensive team who is going to likely lose by 20 pts+ goes to show that the tourney committee got this one wrong. Tony Bennett has a lifetime coaching pass given the national title he got but if I'm Virginia's AD, I'd tell Bennett to start recruiting better because besides for the national title run, it has been 4 disappointing tournament appearances in the last 5 appearances

Virginia's had their fair share of success with BennetBall. That cannot be denied. But boy that style is not pretty on the eyes.

And just a note, UVA finished third in the ACC. This supposed basketball powerhouse conference with 15 teams should have had only 3 teams in the tourney. Instead, they get massively lucky with 5. If this was the B1G, we'd never hear the end of it.
It's also just not the type of program I'd want to run. If the kids don't want to play in the NIT then you have a team full of losers.
If you're upset that you lost on the bubble then go win the NIT and show everyone you deserved to be in.

Yep, can confirm. Went to our 2021 FB game in Charlottesville, they were up 14-0 before I got through the gates and to my seat.
Virginia looks awful, but there are a lot of pundits who think that the Mountain West got screwed with seeding. San Diego State was the only one to get some love, but that seems to be a carryover from last year.

TBF, I saw VT eviscerate them last November in C'ville and it took them four quarters to score 14. So the mean appears to be 14 in two quarters!Yep, can confirm. Went to our 2021 FB game in Charlottesville, they were up 14-0 before I got through the gates and to my seat.
The Mountain West is a good conference. They beat up on one another but yes, I'd say a few of the teams were underseeded. I personally like New Mexico, Utah St, and San Diego St. to make some runs in this tourney. Colorado St has good talent and I wouldn't be surprised if they take Texas down.
New Mexico has a 3 headed monster at guard and has depth too. But then again, not too sure on the man coaching the team. Richard Pitino has never struck me as being a great coach. So, if there's one thing holding them back, it might be the coach
These are a few of my favorite things:
1.) The Rise of Illinois
2.) The Demise of Michigan
3.) The Demise of Ohio State
4.) The Demise of Kentucky
5.) The Demise of the ACC collectively:
* (Man, I sure don’t miss people like Bilas, going on and on and on…about the ACC this…and the ACC that…)
Kinda crappy times overall(society/the world at large)…but it sure is a good time to be an Illini fan; who hates the aforementioned programs. Good times, indeed.
Against the juggernaut that is CSU!14 points at the half. Bennett Ball at its finest.
They were #13 in the country at one point. Colo St that is
They’re good… whole MW is good this year.
Sandfort will be on a lot of preseason all big ten teams….

If I may… let’s also add the Indiana demise, the retention of Woodson and all that entails.
You certainly may. Works for me.If I may… let’s also add the Indiana demise, the retention of Woodson and all that entails.
67-42. 14 points at halftime.
Man, I would've much rather watched Indiana St and their #1 offensive efficiency. Even if the Sycamores would've lost, at least they're entertaining as hell. Their NET (28) is half of Virginia's NET (54) too.
