They play as good a defense as you'll ever see. UVA no slouch either. This will be low-scoring.

Elite 8 last year, National Championship game this year. It’s not like he just caught lightening in a bottle one year.

He’s a really good coach.

It's amazing what a collective defensive effort produces. All 5 giving their uva defender the business in defensive sets. Both sides really. Sad we can't get an offort like this.

As long as someone punches Virginia’s bench warmer that has been dancing the whole game, I’ll be happy. Maybe take out #5, too.

I know this is tough to understand, but apparently the star rating did not accurately represent the talent Texas Tech had on the floor. Shocking, I know. Talent is always going to be the #1 factor in assembling a winning team.

A good coach generally attracts good talent, but he will not win at any big clip until he has that talent. That is how it works. Statements like coaching > talent are incredibly simplistic.

Statements like talent > coaching are incredibly simplistic too.

It takes both.
Good players who are willing to listen and good coaching.

Let’s say you could have a roster of players rating a 90 who weren’t a team and not very easy to coach and an above average coach

VS

A roster of players averaging an 83 but worked hard and listened with a top 15 coach.

I’ll take option 2 most days.

Love that you're getting downvotes on this. Ask Vic if this kind of effort on D is important in winning basketball games. Preach on.

For a guy with less than 100 posts you sure like calling people out and displaying quite a bit of ego. It should go great for you here.
