Game Thread [2023-24] NCAA Tournament

Definitely would rather see Kenny Blakeney and Howard get a shot at UNC, but Wagner is from the same conference as Fairleigh Dickinson so….

Blakeney wanted the 3. Something to file away.

Well, there’s no amount of coffee that could keep me up for a Virginia game, so I guess that’s it for tonight.

Wagner is from the same conference as Fairleigh Dickinson so….

7 active players. Used their starting QB for practice this week.

 

[DrKlahn]

Sounds like a winning formula

Scheyer's a Drakie

 

[aiw]

Hahahah Will Wade

Not breaking news: Virginia’s offense is so gross.

 

[aiw]

Did not score last 9:20. Not a single point.

 

[Devilsforlife]

14 points at the half. 5/29 from the field.

 

[Devilsforlife]

Their 2019 championship is truly the oddity of the CBB modern era.

 

[aiw]

3-20 from 2

 

[dukebluedevils05]

They put up a graphic at the bottom that said ‘first basket since 9:48 PM’ when Virginia finally scored just a few minutes ago. Yikes.

UVA down to 73 on KP. Finish the year with the #211 offense. Truly one of the worst at large teams of all time.

I would like to borrow this to post elsewhere if that's okay. I know it's hardly secret info but that would save me the trouble of rewording it.

Along the same lines as aiw’s post about favorite musicians, thought this was pretty good.
