    People have doubted this team all year and they just keep racking up the double digit wins. Every accomplishment has been punctuated with a "yeah but...."
    Just because they are not an ESPN feature every night doesn't make them overrated. They don't have the star power that ESPN can do their sensationalized "freshman focus" type of crap with. UVA is all about defense and unselfish team basketball. That brand may not sell as well as Jabari or McDermott, but it wins games. America will see on Friday. I'm riding with you stealthyB. Wahoowa!!!

      Us strange new age cats that actually prefer winning confuse u? That makes sense, after all u got all gay and homerish when I told u how avg cuse was when they were still undefeated, now I'm trying to warn stealthy the same, I guess better for him to take advice from a dipshit.. Carry on. I hate fans anyway.

            I swear that thing popped up around the time I joined here.

            I've been in counseling and traumatized ever since.

            Good luck on Virginia.

                    The closing line on this game will show you how awful and corrupt the committee has become making these brackets.
                    Mich St. will probly be -3 by gametime.

                        Im pretty sure they won that game by double digits. 'Almost losing' would be the zags against southern last year.

                        In any event, the outcome of the second round game is irrelevant.

                          This match up will be great though for anybody that loves bball.

                          One advantage for MSU is they can play any tempo...the slow grind it out game, or high-scoring and fast paced. I imagine they will try to push the tempo because if VA gets down it will be tough for them to climb out. VA has broken the 80 pt mark just once, MSU has 15 times. Of course they haven't really had to and it's not their game, but can they if needed? This Spartan team has a lot of scoring threats, and distributes the ball well (6th in Assists/pg)

                              Not about advice, the bet is made. Dumbfcks like you still don't get it.

                                Agree with others. Go ahead and put a large wager on UVA. But biggest of your life on a game your already emotionally invested in is scary. You are effectively betting 2% of your annual income on one game. Classic catch 22. If it wins you will wish you bet more. Loses and you are wondering what hurt more: money or team out.

                                Good luck either way I would just put a slightly smaller amount if I were you!!

                                  I think stealthys great uncle died and left him some money... No way that hipster has that type of loot.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                                and when i watch the games now, they rarely put up bad shots early like they used to in the beginning of the season.

                                                                florida owned ucla in the past tourneys but i feel like this year's bruins have enough offense to do some damage against them.

                                                                how sweet would it be for ucla vs arizona in the finals?

Just think that is lost nowadays which is for the best, I guess. People don't gamble now, it's all math and shit. I grew up in a degenerate family, I love gambling for what it is. Not a great view on things but is what it is and why I can see why stealthy is doing what he is doing. Go Hoos!

Took two huge shots from Nolte to put the game out of reach.....fouls at the end of the game makes the score look like the game wasn't close.

It was 60-50 at the 5:00 minute mark. At 1:45, the game stood at 70-54, with CC ending the game with 5 points. Your recollection of the game is fundamentally flawed. Please don't come at this with weak shit, that again, has no bearing on friday's matchup.
