Some game thoughts...

We wouldn't have won without LP. The guy is our rudder.

Tobey played like a MAN today at both ends. This is the PG-C combo I've been waiting for.

Some of the worst officiating I've EVER seen. But will the ACC do anything about it? Nope. When Hamilton and Bennett are BOTH having to be restrained from going after you, smfh.

I am so glad I was wrong about Nolte continuing to get playing time. Guy made some clutch 3s, and played very solid defense. I appreciate Greenberg giving him his props in the postgame.

Shane Battier another Dukie I will learn to hate

He spent most of the second half denigrating our team, to the point his announcing partner said "You are so down on Virginia..." He all but said we will lose to FL State, that we are not worthy of our rank and that without JA we are essentially beat nobody and we are nobody after JA got hurt and we proved nothing. He said all our wins were so close, we can not score and can not win by scoring (ignoring the actual facts and the WF win at their place by 35 pts, their worst home loss ever). I got tired of listening to him. I will watch the ACC network if he is on any more games and he will join my hate list with later, Paulus, Jay Williams and Coach K. Hoop we make him eat his words. We need for MB to shut their super frosh down, cause that kid went off today!

ACCT Orange & Blue

This is my 12th ACCT. I believe 7 of the12 were first round exits. Last year and this year there have been atleast twice the UVA fans, all loud and all in orange and blue. TB has made it fun and proud to be a hoo! What a difference from hoping to win a game to being a favorite to win it all, AGAIN! Yeah HOO, let's go UVA! I totally love it!

Amazing what a season does to expectations ...

Before last season, we just wanted to get to "Saturday", a.k.a. the semis. Now everyone is talking about avenging both losses in the next two days.

I'm just happy we won today. Lunardi thinks we are a 1 with one win the ACCT (in other words, no chance for a bad loss). I hope we win three and leave no doubt who the second #1 seed is in this thing, but I would just be happy with a win tomorrow regardless of who it is against, by how many points, and which way we do it. Winning the ACCT is just gravy at this point. Doing so over UL and Duke would just seem surreal.

Game Day

We need a fast start. FSU used too much energy yesterday just winning that game.

Nolte and Tobey will be key. They will try to smother our better players and these two IMO need to knock down the open shots they get. This game worries me a bit because of how dirty and physical they can play, but I really feel we won't get off to a slow start 3 games in a row.

Uva 66
FSU 52

And anyone notice the ACCT floor yesterday was really slippery?

For comparisons sake

I think this season sets up very similar to college basketball in 1991.

For a refresher UNLV was undefeated in the regular season like KY. They were a juggernaut coming off a National Title the year before. Duke was a very good team of juniors with a couple of freshmen sprinkled in. They lost a couple games late in the season including the finale to UNC. It was an awesome and improbable run by Duke. No one gave them a chance in the FInal Four to beat UNLV.

I feel that this run is going to set up similarly. The powers that be are really hoping its a DUKE/KY final so we are probably gonna be on the same side as KY. Fine by me. This could be the springboard to back to back title runs just like Duke knocking off unbeaten UNLV in 1991.
