Chris Beard is a hell of a dude for sure, but Tony Bennet man. He's the present and the future. They might be here again next year.

Well. Looks like the National Championship will go to the ACC!
They are 5/1 favorite next year! They literally return everyone except maybe Hunter.
FT's....man...key part of killing games off
Congrats to UVA...hell of a turnaround from last year. Chapeau to Bennett, class guy
And go ACC!

Yeah was looking at their roster. Hunter is definitely gone, he's a lottery pick in most mocks and Jack Salt is a senior. That's a lot of key pieces returning.
Ty Jerome might test the waters.. he’s projected a end of the first round player and the final four might have bumped him up a little
Congrats to UVA. Free throws Duke fans. Free throws. OFC
Exactly my thoughts. Such huge free throws down the stretch and I feel like they didn't miss any of them.
That’s true. Although I haven’t seen Jerome in the latest draft boards, but your right. The National Champion run certainly elevated his status no doubt.
Congrats to this UVA team. Really good team without a clear weakness. Wait nvm, their weakness was Duke this season. Haha it is what it is though, they’re definitely a deserving champion and glad they got it done for the ACC.
Contrary to popular opinion, the NCAA Tournament yet again crowns a worthy champion that was one of the best teams all year long. The champion is almost always from the top 12 teams in the country and most of the time it is one of the top 4 teams in the country.
I’ll say this... Chris beard is a hell of a Coach!!! He took over Texas Tech in 2016.. they weren’t a powerhouse in college b-ball and he took this program to the finals in 2 years!
Oh yeah and this was his previous jobs before Texas Tech:
2001-2011 asst at Texas Tech
2011-2012 South Carolina Warriors
2012-2013 Mcmurray
2013-2015 Angelo State
2015-2016 Little Rock

I’m not sure who they have coming in but Hunter is a pretty huge loss even if everyone else returns. We saw how they did last year with him being out. Virginia needed some pretty lucky things to happen this year to even make it to the championship. Congrats to them, they were a great team all season but sucks knowing what the outcome probably would have been had Duke squeaked past MSU.
From laughingstock to National Champs. A little similar to Duke and K’s first title.
We know what historic loss uva had, and Bennett showed how good he is. K can relate to what uva went through last season.

What about that guy @Mpm277 is always talking about. Brett Simmons I think?Tony Bennet is our next coach
It's Brad Stevens I've been talking about. He coached at this mid major years ago and made a lot of noise. Really up and coming. He works in Boston now. Check him out.
Absolutely, better than losing in the elite eight two years in a row.. they are true extension of their coach on the floor...happy for the Hoos plus the cheats didn’t win!
And it wasn’t won by the bums in baby blue!
TWICE.
************.
I watched exactly zero seconds of that BS after we went out.
Haha I actually think Tony Bennet is an even longer shot now. He’s won 1 at UVA! So he’ll think he can do it again yada yada. And with the one and done soon to be over i think he stays there now FOREVER!......
