BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Totally OT, but hey @UVAObserver, is this the year UVA makes a Final Four run and contends for a title? To go to Duke and win when Bagley has such a monster day was impressive. UVA has had some good teams but never any make a serious run since like Sampson. Is this the year?

To go to Duke and win when Bagley has such a monster day was impressive. UVA has had some good teams but never any make a serious run since like Sampson. Is this the year? I think so. The defense is so dominant that we’re winning when shooting 39% from the field against the #4 team in the nation on their home floor. Had we made a few shots that were truly wide open, that game is a blowout. So long as major injuries stay at bay, we should be in fantastic shape moving forward. This team knew “who it was” very early on, and the rotation was almost self-evident by Game #2. The chemistry between the guys is unbelievably strong. We have an inside presence this year, even if it’s more dribble-drive than true post offense. I’d rather not see Michigan State again, but none of the other teams I see really concern me in a tournament setting. These are the good old days.

BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I hope they do, the Hoos deserve it. What's your opinion on Bama basketball? Can they win a game or two in NCAAT? They shut down Young for OU and Sexton outplayed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton is a horse, but probably heading to be NBA this season or next. Presuming Alabama makes it there, winning 1-2 games in the Tournament isn’t a stretch with good matchups.

Sexton is gone, done deal. But we did beat Auburn without him. Bama has incredible length, but shooting woes continue. Aside from Petty, no one can consistently hit threes. But the length is insane. Ingram, Key, Jones, etc.. are super long ND athletic. Bama is in good shape, 3 wins over top 25 (AU, OU, URI). Avery is doing a fantastic job there. The conference as a whole is loaded with elite coaches. Basically every site that tracks conference RPI has SEC third behind B12 and ACC, and it's a thin margin between two and three. SEC lacks a top 5-8 team but has eight teams in top 50ish. Could send eight with some elite wins. Wins over Purdue, at WVU, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Florida had Duke beat and gave it away, Vandy beat TCU, Bama had Zona beat in Tempe but gave it away, A&M beat WVU, USC and OK State, UF beat Cincy and Gonzaga, UK routed Louisville and VT, I'm sure there's more.

Been a fantastic year for the SEC on the whole. Kinda reminds me of some of the Big Ten years of late...no Top 10 teams but a whole slew of teams between 10-50 that are scurrying for NCAA bids. I think 7 would be reasonable, 8 isn’t out of the question. I would like to see a larger sample size with Avery Johnson, but I think early returns are good.

He isn't a master strategist but he's a great recruiter and the kids really seem to like him. I wasn't sure about his son playing so much but AJ JR def deserves his PT.

UK never had a lead larger than 8 points and that was with 3 minutes to go in the game. Tech led by 6 at halftime and Tech had a largest lead of 8 points as well. VT outplayed UK up one side and down the other in the first half. Tech shot 58% compared to UK's 48%. Tech actually out rebounded UK on the defensive glass, but got out rebounded on the offensive glass, which is par for the course. The game was lost in the turnovers and UK's points off of those turnovers. But to say that the game was never in doubt is crazy. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,916 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I met Avery Johnson at my wife's office in Galax a couple of years ago. He got off of Route 58 one entrance too soon for his hotel and came into her office asking how to get over to the Hampton Inn. He was in town recruiting Braxton Key at Oak Hill Academy. He was as nice and personable as he comes off on TV. I've actually met a dozen or so major D1 coaches in town to recruit kids from Oak Hill. Pete Gillen was easily the best, though. Driving his 20 year old Honda Civic with 300k on the odometer. He is a funny guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn’t win enough, especially in conference. A shame. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
