GDT: NCAA Hoops thread

If Tech can hold on, the city of Lubbock will finally have something other than Buddy Holly to be proud of.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

UVA won the title!

I grew up in VA about 45 minutes from Charlottesville. You were either a Wahoo fan or a Hokie fan and there was no in between. I, of course, became a UVA fan only to witness multiple decades of sports futility....football until George Welsh got there was abysmal. Cavalier basketball over-achieved some (except when they had Ralph), but was also notoriously mediocre. Even baseball, which has been a strong program recently, wasn't much back in the day.

So watching Tony Bennett and his team win was something special for many a long suffering fan.

 

[HisIceness]

UVA avenged their humiliating defeat last year by winning it all. Well done Cavaliers!

Thought I'd leave this right here as I found this to be not just impressive, but something that helped reinforce my belief in the general goodness of man....sometimes, people just do what's right.

I'm sure this is all great, but **** UVA

Now that's one thing Hokies and Mountaineers can agree on.

You mad bro?

You mad bro?

Nope. Just a fan having a fan reaction.

#1 Kentucky lost at home to Evansville. Evansville is known as the Purple Aces.

RIP city of Lexington

Watched the last few minutes. Would watch again.

Hey, they were talking 40-0, right?

...couldn't even make it past a cupcake! The Aces haven't been good in FOREVER, so this is their National Championship victory.

 

[HisIceness]

Anyone else see this? Wow.

 

[Tryamw]

Well NC State at least won a game
<--- State fan.

Props to them for having the balls to play UNC-Greensboro in Greensboro. UNCG is pretty good for a smaller school.

Hey, Wofford walked into Old Carmichael and gave Carolina the absolute business, and SFA walked into Cameron and gave Duke the absolute business.

Sorry, but there are no gimmes in college basketball. That win against UNCG is a good win against a likely tournament team.

 

[DaveG]

Wooooooo

 

[HisIceness]

Wooooooo

Damn good win for the Morgantown squad over the Blue Jackets, err I mean, Buckeyes.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Not a good 18 hours for the buckeyes, delicious.

 

[HisIceness]

Clemson gets their first ever win in Chapel Hill.

 

[A Star is Burns]

UNC sucks hard. Nothing wrong with that

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Walmart UNC fans disappearing into the hedges. Its nice.
