I don't care if it's good for the Big 12 for them to win, **** KU. Cheated for years being elite by paying their team full salaries when everyone couldn't get away with that and now the chickens have come home to roost.

Who we cheering for in this Virginia Tennessee game? Who we match-up against better?

 

[Kinch]

St. John’s is a final four team.

I wouldn't put a dime on ISU to win their next game either.

Doing a wellness check. Are you doing OK this afternoon after losing out on that possible ten cent payday?

My instinct is I'd rather play the #6 than the #3, but the ACC was pretty bad this year. Virginia won a lot but didn't really beat anyone great.

Well you just saw what our defense does to an average SEC team.

And UVA should have lost to Wright State, so at this point I don’t have a preference

 

[Kinch]

Who the **** has ISU beaten other than Purdue and Houston? And don't say KU either.

You forgot St. John’s.

St. John’s is a final four team.

They've been on a heater for sure.

Take the 10 best combined players from the two teams and let us beat them like a drum.

I was thinking about this earlier. At the end of the day, Virginia is 30-5 and Tennessee is 23-11. Even with the schedule differences, I think I’d rather play the team with double digit losses.

Like ISU if they just shoot a reasonable percentage they are.

D is nasty...

I lean toward Tennessee because they aren’t a big threat from three, but neither team is good on turnover margin

 

[rosshm16]

Ejiofor on SJU is a demon, I don't want any part of him.

I think I am leaning Tennessee also.
Virginia is also finding their 3 point shot all the sudden

imo we want UVA

 

[ISUTex]

You forgot St. John’s.

And Texas Tech. By 20. And his favorite team the Hawkeyes.

Good catch.

ISU has already beaten St. John’s.

I mean when you play no one with a pulse in the non con you can run up some wins. Tennessee is the 3rd best team Virginia has played all season.

2 games vs Duke
1 game vs Louisville.

That is it for Top 20 games before today.

Virginia came into this with 29 wins out of the ACC and were the last team on the 3 line for a reason.
