A friend just texted me and said it will be cool to see Zion play in person next weekend. I said I want to see him play in person against the Hawks next year. Glad they're done.

Ha fvckin ha!! K shown again to be a marginal coach that happens to succeed by getting breaks 99% of the time
YES. Like to think I helped jinx them. I mean maybe it’s obvious but I could see Zion being matchup issue for our boogs.
welp - I didn’t think it was possible to hate Duke any more, but check out this bullshit
I have Texas Tech over Duke, Boogs over UVA, and Boogs over Texas Tech in my brackets...
after the Boogs win, I was 37th on CBS, only 1 dude above me had Auburn winning the title and he had MSU in the title game... that one pays out $10k
on yahoo I was in 178th... I could only see the top 50, but no one had Boogs over Texas Tech in the title game, and chances are none of the other 127 ahead of me had it either considering how heavy Duke, Gonzaga, and Michigan State were picked... first prize in that one is $1,000,000
all I needed was Duke to win and I was guaranteed a shot at $10k and possibly $1,000,000... only time in my entire life I’ve cheered for them... and after pulling shit out of their asses for 2 solid weeks, they piss all down their legs the last 10 minutes
I hope the entire campus burns to the ground

nah, I’ll finish second... there’s 1 dude ahead of me who has our Boogs over TTU
Damn bruh. I'll bet he didn't know we were going to win because our bigs turn everyone else's bigs over though.
Honestly have zero desire to tune in tonight. At least the Boogs play exciting b-ball. These teams both blow
Guess I’ll pull for Texas Tech even though something about that coach annoys me. It’s probably just the way his face looks because I don’t have any real reason to dislike him
his affection for whataburger makes me like him. His preference for defensive basketball makes me despise him as a neutral observer.
A ton more TECH fans than UVA all over town the last couple days. I guess the know *tainted. Still a TON of Boogs in town. Wife dragged me in here 45 minutes ago & the USBS is still empty
Will not watch. Currently rewatching boogs vs UNC. Can’t decide if I’m going to watch Kansas or Kentucky next.
This is two pretty good teams playing right now. Was going to be tough regardless but I would’ve loved to had the shot.
Would have been tough without Chuma. Would have won by 10 with him.
I would’ve shit myself if they had called a foul on Key right there.
They hit a last second shot to tie Purdue after a lucky tapout in missed free throw
They hit a three with 7 seconds left against AU and then have everything go their way with calls
They hit a three with 12 seconds left tonight to tie it and send to OT
That’s why it’s so frustrating to lose like we did. The team that won it had all that go right for them. Just takes some luck and who knows when you’ll get it

Didn’t watch a single second of it, but I was pulling for Tech. Just makes it suck even worse knowing you were the best team in the country and got hosed the way we did
UVA just kept getting the crucial calls that could have gone against them, mixed with hitting key shots that kept them alive. Just a crazy mix of timely shooting and an insane run of calls going your way.
- Non double dribble call on Jerome
- Foul called on Guy shooting
- Foul called for Guy when he tripped over his own player in OT, down 3 and it would have been a turnover instead made it down 1 and started their run.
- No foul called on Guy reaching
- Results in ball getting knocked out of Tech's hands and review goes super slow mo frame by frame to see a Tech finger probably touched it last
Good grief. Also, it wasn't Diakete or Key or Hunter getting calls. It's always the chalkie ACC try hards that get the benefits of the whistle. Every damn time for as long as I can remember. Laettner, Hurley, Hansborough, Woj....it's like the refs just have a subconscious desire to see those type of players succeed.
I'll credit those 2 with hitting some really tough shots at key moments. That was my worry going into our game. They make tough shots and they make them in crunch time. They have to, the way they play they are going to be in games like that almost constantly vs any good team.

Nothing as blatant last night, but several non calls later last night helped and/or kept them in it. Of course Hunter made two all timers(one like Guys contested shot against us) and just looked like a lottery guy. They were lucky but they were also very clutch.
This is why I hate Bennett's style too. He's going to get away with it as long as he can find Jerome/Guy types and maybe mix in a Hunter, but you can't quantify that in a HS player very often at all. Those guys hit stupid hard shots at key moments in damn near every game. I hate watching them win and I hated the calls they got, but they are also hella clutch.
You play that style and you guys shoot 40% on those late, tough shots instead of freaking 75% and you are losing a lot of tourney games IMO. Kudos to those kids for being able to pull it off (with some serious help...any one of the listed calls goes against them and they aren't champions today) but that's a crazy line to run a program on to me.
Amazing how Virginia won it all with a pretty terrible PG. Clark would literally NOT SHOOT. He refused too. I don’t get it. He was wide open all night. If he shoots some it probably helps Jerome, Hunter, and Guy.
Virginia played smart ball. If AU has Chuma we run them out of the gym. They didn’t have anyone that could have stopped Chuma.

You notice though that during crunch time Jerome brought the ball up the court more than he did.
