College Ball

There's a lot of action going on today, with Kansas already manhandling a reeling Kentucky team, and it looks like Maryland is going to lose to Miami also...

#12 N.C. State plays at #25 UNC at 3;
#18 Ohio State plays at #15 Indiana at 4;
plus a host of other top 25 teams playing today...

Yup Terps go down, the more faith you gain the more they take away. Miami was unreal from 3 land today, glad to see that Diaz has to wake up when he plays the Terps.

You forgot to mention the top 2 teams in the ACC just finished a heated battle.
The Wahoos took down the Juggernaut that is Clemson in a heated 64-58 battle, proving they are the best team in the country.
*I am not dillusional, I just can't wait to leave work at 3 so I'm being stupid*

UVA didn't play bad today, I watched part of the game. Singletary was his normal self through in 17 and Adrian Joesph actually showed up and played. Reynolds knocked some big free throws in the end and Vernon Hamilton throwing the ball out of bounds for Clemson didn't hurt either.

Oh wow glad to hear it, wish I could've watched it.

Unlike everyone else at UVA, I always keep a faithful optimism about the basketball team (except for Gillen's last 2 years).

With the JPJ Arena going up and Leitao in town I feel like we can turn things around.

I (sadly) honestly also think that if VT could get some alumni interested in basketball and get some decent facilities they could become a contender. I just hope Leitao gets on the ball quickly because the ACC is not gonna get any easier in years to come.

maybe if we were to finish 4th in the ACC we would be considered a contender

I love Leitao...I was admittedly skeptical at first, but after seeing him in action a couple times, he demands the hard-work and discipline the UVa desperately needed...

**RaiderWahoo0105** · January 7th, 2006, 03:34 PM

Yeah the guy definitely has my respect.

What I don't understand is how some UVA fans have been complaining that Leitao is too hard on his players whenever they fubar and he yells at them in front of everyone whenever they get pulled out.

When Gillen was in town people were begging for more discipline. I hate the fans who complain too much. Seriously hoping Leitao shuts them up.

I'm not a UVA fan but outise of Maryland I pull for them and Wake Forest more than any other teams. I pretty much pull for the ACC except Carolina and Duke and the new arrival schools. I dont think they belong and I will never like Tech, Miami, BC, or FSU. Wish we could go back to the old days.

Football brings in the $$$$ and basketball will take a backseat as long as that holds true.

Do you think the new-look Big East Super Basketball Conference will start to dominate?
