Today's Games

UMBC official account already drunk tweeting.
-
@approxinfinity how the refs call Virginia’s tight D will play a huge factor here.

He got the UNC KU game right in 08!
-
@BShark ha, that was my reference yes, but after he said that crap UNC went on a huge run to get back in it.
-
Lyles hurt and still gets buckets. TOUGH
-
-
Game! Wow unreal
-
Down 17 and under 4 mins…history is going to happen
-
Let’s not get double digits behind this tournament. Agreed?
-
-
Well I guess we already did. Let’s not do it again.
-
@BShark jesus. seriously?
-
Virginia fouling like crazy with no whistles
-
@approxinfinity YES THAT IS REAL
-
Well I’m kind of hoping Lyles torches Squeaky next game.
-
DG IS IN THE HOUSE
-
although I’ll confess, I enjoyed the way K St played today.
-
Seminoles puttin to the Tiggers

Just as likely the fall back to earth and KSU destroys them.
-
Style of play, is all I’ll say. Made UVA vulnerable. I never want to return to that slug it out style. The high/low can be dynamic. I believe Self is well aware of that. Already excited for next season.
-
Virginia’s defense is MIA.
-
Wellp, hopefully this is both a wake up call and loosens us up.
-
We won’t be the highest rated team to go down first. Now let’s get loose and torch the field!
-
This was awesome.
-
Hist or eee
-
Virginia destroyed by 20…historical day in NCAA. ACC in mourning.

@Kcmatt7 Just got home & a text from my son about the UVA whoopin. WOW Are the brackets busted or what ?? Not so sure Bennett would get approval in Lawrence after this choke job.
Reeces Pieces
-
Welp. Kentucky’s road just got a lot easier.
-
KSU was handed a gift, a team with a victory hangover.
-
Feeling great about my Kentucky FF pick.
-
@BShark Vegas is pretty high on Buffalo for what it’s worth
-
@BShark Yes, I debated between UK and Arizona…went with Arizona because of Ayton…wish I could have that back.
-
@Buster-1926 Well in fairness, this loss wasn’t Bennett losing on just X’s and O’s tonight, this team wasn’t built to win this game. Their pace was too slow, 100% dependent on playing inside out, not terribly athletic and didn’t know what to do with Lyles (+ injury to hunter).
-
Any the south, which most including myself thought was weak and any team could win is turning into a cake walk for UK.

Cuse playing BE thug ball

Ultimately I went with UK because of Calipari vs Sean Miller in March.
-
Florida State abusing Missouri 42-20 at the half, 7 points from FTs and only 13 from the field for MU.
-
Not gonna talk about how I had Missouri in the EE tho.
-
I honestly feel bad for The Virginia players, they played great all year and had one terrible game UMBC shot lights out and played better than they could’ve dreamed of. KSU has a great shot to make the sweet 16. I really will be pissed if KSU goes further than us. I’m in shock I really am.
-
Not the same but reminds me of the 2010 loss. Must be very heartbreaking for that fan base as that loss was for ours. Basketball is evolving and the talent gap is closing. Seems like seeds mean less and less every year.
-
Syracuse can suck it. Man, how I despise that team and especially Boeheim.
-
Well looks like the Big 12 goes 4-3 in the first round. Sadly the 3 losses were games I felt that were given away. If OU or Texas would hit a modest perentage from the line or TCU wouldn’t have had some silly turnovers and missed a ton of open 3s.
-
So if TCU goes down…of the 4 B12 teams left…we have the toughest game…How the heck did that happen?

There’s always a downside to these things.
-
And there you have it… no 1 seed goes down to a 16
welcome to the essential nature of the ncaa hunger games.
Survive and try to advance
-
Go ahead and run all the stats and numbers and ranking and power indexes you can run about Virginia compared to UMBC.
It’s still college age kids playing a game against each other. It was eventually bound to happen 1 going down to a 16.
-
@tis4tim but they might slow down MSU
-
@SkinnyKansasDude The 2010 UNI loss is not even in the same ball park as this. UMBC is the worst rated team in the tournament in several formulas. UNI was a 3 loss team that was ranked in #23 in the country going into the tournament and a top 35 team in nearly every ratings that I saw. A 1 seed loses in the second nearly every year compared to a 16 seed never having won before tonight. The UNI was painful but not historically the biggest upset arguably of all time in the sport.
