I should’ve known that it was too good to be true when NC State was up by 6-8 points in the first half but I guess it’s actually better for us if Virginia wins because it will give us another big win towards getting a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament by beating Virginia a third time this season.

Virginia will be good for CBS because this is probably the first year a 1/16 matachup gets so many neutral viewers from the start.

This was the quintessential UVA game. Ugly, seemingly tight for awhile, all of a sudden UVA is up 20. 9 out of 10 of their games follow this script.

I’m rooting for UL bc it’s impossible to root for UNCheat, but I won’t be terribly disappointed if the cheats win and Zion gets his chance to get vengeance.

I might be in the minority here, but I hope UNC beats Lville. I want to play them with Zion. Sorry not sorry.

Lots of big time shots and plays made at the end of that FSU-VT game. Very fun to watch with no rooting interest either way. That was the epitome of March basketball.

Folks, I'm 126 years old, and I can guarantee you that if I am defending you, and I foul you, you will not get the shot off! :D
From time eternal, that is the rule in BB. I can't believe at this level we have all these and 1's.
The moving screens are the same thing, basic fundamentals. I can't watch any more of this game, bring on Duke.
Go Duke!

I think I’m most impressed by the fact a 126 year old can use a computer. :D

Not an ACC game, I was flipping through the games to check the scores and just saw Howard hit a wild runner for Marquette. I think it was a running right hook. That little dude is wired to score.

Thought I saw Sean May just now and looked it up. Sure enough, he’s the director of basketball operations at UNCheat.

Let’s all bow our heads and say a prayer for his little metal chair. Lord knows it’s being tested today.

Jay Bilas is more of a Carolina apologist - even against L'Ville - than anyone I know.

He's actually arguably the biggest UNC apologist on the national scene.

Carolina has gotten a ton of "continuation" and 1 baskets in recent weeks and he says little. Then he flips out about a continuation call that L'Ville gets.

And he says very little when the Louisville guard shoots the ball and falls down on the UNC player well after the release and gets called for a charge - no basket (which is nonsense).

I really tire of him and am happy that CBS/TNT are doing the tourney and the FF and not ESPN. I'd hate to have to listen to Bilas all through the NCAAs.

Cheats are just good boys. Whatever particular ceiling they have year to year, Roy has them approaching it when March rolls around.

If we win tonight it's going to be tough to beat them tomorrow. Reintegrating Zion, Bolden out... not sure I see it.

But first thing's first.

I think Jay is well aware that many people think his Carolina schtick is classic overcompensation. Thing is, while he's a good analyst, he's also exceptionally arrogant and instead of adjusting based on that criticism he's actually just doubled down, the end result being he's more insufferable than ever when he's calling a Carolina game.

Nothing personal, but man I hate that I just read your post. Didn't your mom teach you better? If you can only say something good about the Holes, you shouldn't say anything at all.

UNC is playing great basketball. They are very talented. Let’s take care of business tonight. I desperately want to see a classic Duke UNC matchup tomorrow.
