OT- Cat Barber=Allen Iverson?

If I was an NBA team, he'd be my PG draft pick!

Following UVa's 72-52 win over Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament on Thursday night, point guard London Perrantes and forward Isaiah Wilkins talked about the victory, avenging the loss in Atlanta, how the team has prepared for the postseason, and more.

I figured we should start a thread for discussion the Miami/VT Quarterfinal game. I'm sitting court side now getting an up close look at both teams, I'll try to report anything interesting I see.

Maybe he is not pretty, but his outfit is marginally better than his court jester sweater.

Give you something to do until 1:30.

Greetings from our nation's capital where No. 10 seed Georgia Tech and No. 2 seed UVa will tip things up in about 10 minutes. We'll have starters and game updates in this thread for your shortly.

As always, have at it folks...

We'll get started with UVa's Tony Bennett here in a few. Follow this thread for notes.

K slowed the game down too early. Might come back to bite him. Slow down with 2-3, but not your offense

Let's hope Mike Tobey stayed at home and Reckless Abandonment Tobey went with the team to the Verizon Center. I think I was most disappointed in our inside defense against GaTech last time and how we let Jacobs and Mitchell have their way with us inside. But even if M. Tobey shows up in D.C., our interior defense is a far cry from what it was 2 months ago down in Atlanta and I expect a solid win today. I sure enjoyed watching R.A. Tobey, though!

Can anyone name a coach that does less with more talent than Fl State's coach? Losing to Va Tech by 7, (final was double digits) has no idea how to counter Tech's driving, has no idea how to use the talent he has and his size advantage outside of offensive rebounding. R-Mays has been essentially non existent, a great player and he can not even get him the ball. he is even worse at utilizing talent than Roy Boy. I know, everyone can talk about all Hamilton's wins in the past 6 years, winning the conference tourney, etc, etc. But he always seems to not totally use all the great athletes he has. TB would kill with the talent they have, if he could keep them eligible at UVA, which would certainly be a question. I hate Va Tech, want them to lose but with Hamilton coaching the players had better do it themselves.

I just found out a few minutes ago that GT came back last night. I went to bed with about 10 minutes left thinking the better team with the best player on the floor was in control. When will I learn. Anyone else do that last night?

I know some here can't stand him, I personally like hearing his analysis.

Interestingly, he said he thought UVa was "firmly the #2 overall seed" because of our high end wins and that UNC wasn't as secure as a 1-seed as some others think. He also pointed out what some of us on here have been saying about Villanova, regarding disparate resumes.

We had a great season. Team we played tonight killed the packline because everyone could shoot. When a 6'10" kid has 5 3's it's not your night. 2 years we will be good.

15-22 from 3 will bury you, but no matter what I did. They would have beat us

I know we shouldn't look past any game for the rest of the season, but this is about as much as a gimme as we can expect. Our starters should be as rested as any for the next game. Also hoping Miami loses, though I think we'll beat them.

Connor Eason started but was pinched by the home plate umpire who had a very small strike zone the whole game. Rosenberger came in relief and pitched a couple of decent innings. Sousa had problems later on, and the lead was cut from 9-2 to 9-7. UVA came back in the bottom of the 6th and scored 3 runs and then added 8 runs in the 8th. Simmons and Smith hit home runs for the Hoos.; Simmons' was a blast that went over the bleachers in left center.

Clem/GT headed for overtime so at the lease we'll get a tired opponent. I think we should cheer for GT.

I am just thinking this may be the greatest class all time in UVa hoops. I haven't researched and just watched them finish 36-1 at home in the ACC. If I am wrong, tell me!!!

If both UVA and Nova win their conference tournaments, does anyone think there is a chance we get Philly? I have to think we would prefer that site over Louisville, but with Nova being a hometown team I wonder if they get it by default even as a "weaker" 1 seed.

It's that time of year and I am ready, but pick 5 teams you would rather not see after the 32.

anyone know if there is a UVA centric bar in the city for watching tomorrow nights game?
