VT up 4 right now, really should be at least 8 but Delaney has blown some easy shots around the basket and you can't do that with them. That place is going to go insane if they pull it off.

Yeah, let's miss every free-throw in the world to keep this a game, dammit to hell.
And with that free-throw, it's upset city in Blacksburg. I love it.
hey Biggin, still wanna compare VT and Bama??
unranked, sub 130-RPI Virginia says hi from last week, we got our bad losses out of the way in December.
I didn't realize yesterday was December...Ole Miss?
You also got your good wins out of the way in....hold on, let me find it...still checking...I'll have to get back to you, I'm not seeing any
and I realize UVa isn't the powerhouse that Saint Peter's College is...
ahhhh, a mediocre Kentucky team filled with freshmen....I knew I was missing one!
Team A:
1 win over RPI Top 50
Best road win: at RPI 83
1-5 v. RPI Top 50
SOS: 110
7-3 in last 10 games
3 conference road wins
Team B:
2 wins over RPI Top 50
Best road win: at 28 RPI
2-2 v. RPI Top 50
SOS: 139
8-2 in last 10 games
4 conference road wins
Which team is which Drew?
and a lil FYI, Ole Miss has a higher RPI than Maryland, GT, UVA, NC State, Wake, and possibly Clemson and Miami after yesterday. Nice try tho
and that "mediocre Kentucky team filled with freshman" (16 RPI, real mediocre) has wins over 36 RPI, 10 RPI, 23 RPI (all OUT of conference big wins).
Actually UNC won by 2. Which is barely less than what UNC beat VT by in Blacksburg.
You're right I saw the $$ but they were for Notre Dame, the game after.
Team A: best win is over the #1 team in the nation, and reigning national champions with 8 scholarship players
Team B: best win is over a Kentucky team who is more inconsistent than any team in America, because of the 8,000 freshmen they play who aren't on the level of John Wall or Cousins
Team A: worst loss is to their in-state rival, who on their worst day still is a 5-8 team in a much tougher conference than the SEC
Team B: worst loss is to a Northest Conference team 98% of anyone who ever watches college bball didn't know exists
The RPI is terrible why anybody would use that as a tool for judging teams I'll never understand. Yes, I know the NCAA uses it but really, do you guys think it's legit? As for this debate, I seriously doubt Alabama could stay within ten points of VT on a neutral floor.
I hope they draw each other in the 1st round.
Of the NIT.
Yep, thats a great win for VT. A good win over the RPI top 50. VT is lucky its such a good win, its since its ONLY WIN over the RPI Top 50.Quote:

A UK team with wins over Notre Dame, Louisville, Washington, Florida, etc.. is such a **** team, the committee might as well just not even count that as a win for Alabama. 22 says they are inconsistent, so it must be true. Or maybe inconsistent teams dont win all those home games in a row.
And the comment about VT/Bama on a neutral court is absolutely laughable, considering you haven't even seen Alabama play this year. Yeah, no way they stay within ten, even tho they are a terrible matchup for VT with the size inside and in your face constant pressure.
God I hope they match these two teams up in the tourney. If you are willing to give me ten points, we'll put some money on it. Cause thats absurd.
Having watched both teams, the reality is they are pretty similar. VT is a little better offensively, but Bama is better defensively IMO.
They are, they are very close in terms of talent and skill. Im not saying VT couldnt win or wont win, but saying they beat Bama by at least ten, especially if you havent seen Alabama play, is wrong.
Bama gives up around 50 ppg, ten points is HUGE. VT has a ton of skill, especially outside, but Bama is big and physical inside with Green and has great, swarming defenders on the wing.
The VT/UNC game was in Chapel Hill, BTWQuote:

The loss most likely keeps Bama out of the tourney unless they win the SECT.
But its not like itsa bad loss on their record but they needed the win. Losing @ top ranked UF is not a bad loss but its a crucial loss to Alabama cause winning was almost a must to make the NCAAT.
Not like VT done themselves any favors tonight at home.
Yeah for real, id rather lose @ top ranked Florida than losing by 15 at home vs. mediocre BC team.
Reggie Jackson is for real but BC never really overwhelmed me.
well, another bubble team **** the bed today, against a team nowhere as good as Florida.
ill give you a hint
