Ahem ... so ... are we rooting for the Hoos? - nj alum - 04-07-2019 09:36 AM
They are good, fortunate, and an easy team / coach to like.
So, in the Spirit of Lent, I will give up my disdain for all things that come out of Hooville, and say the following...
Best of luck (any more left for them?) to the Cavaliers!
:-)

As a lifelong Hoo-hater, it is not in my DNA to root for UVA. But I do like Tony Bennett and he seems to recruit good character kids and run a clean program.
The kicker for me? My disdain for Bruce Pearl keeps me for EVER rooting for anything he is a part of, so...
go hoos.
(That's all the enthusiasm I can muster.)

Commonwealth of Virginia vs Republic of Texas...so, okay, whoop dee doo, go hoos...
...and I'm taking the Under. What do you figure, possibly the lowest UNDER in NCAA History (since the intro of the Shot Clock, anyway) ???
Could be first to 50 wins.

Nope. And its the Cavaliers. If we cant have feathers, they cant use the racist chant stolen from Dartmouth.

Both of these sentiments. The second much, MUCH more than the first.

W&M and UVA accepted me, visited W'burg and, on that day, erased UVA from memory. Instantly fell in love with my Tribe.
If I cared at all (haven't watched a NCAAT game), I'd have to go with the team from my home state.
Let'em have the limelight now because we're going to throw a blanket over that light come football season.

Go Hoos! Bring back the positive recognition to the Commonwealth that was lost by revelations that our Governor and Attorney General appeared in BlackFace and our Lt. Governor likes to force his attentions on ladies...
RE: Ahem ... so ... are we rooting for the Hoos? - Zorch - 04-08-2019 09:58 PM
I think that all the folks who went to W&M in the 80's or later don't have the same antipathy toward UVA as those of us who attended earlier have. For us, UVA was an actual rival. We played them every year (sometimes twice) in basketball. We played them regularly in football (we shut them out in '75). So, for us, we were raised to hate UVA.
RE: Ahem ... so ... are we rooting for the Hoos? - Zorch - 04-08-2019 11:02 PM
Congratulations to the hated Hoos. They made their last 14 free throws (12 in overtime), 20-23 for the game. Contrast that with the free throw missed by Purdue with 17 seconds left that would have given them a 4 point lead over the Hoos. Do I really need to say it? Yes, I do. Make free throws, win games; miss free throws, lose games.
The best part is that the next chance at rebuttal won't happen for 7 more months.

Did my grad work at UVA and it never changed my aversion to them. Congrats, though, to the Cavs. Quite an accomplishment for a class coach and players.
Everybody on that team, with the exception of Jack Salt, is eligible to come back next year. Scary.....

Congrats to a great coach and fabulous team effort! This is College BB at the best-go from the worst loss ever last year losing to 16 seed to NATIONAL CHAMPS!

Auburn: 78% FT (11-14) UVA: 50% FT (6-12)
MSU: 78% (14-18) TTU: 62% (8-13)
Which two teams won to play in the National Championship Game?

Uh .... UVA hit 3 free throws with 1 second left to beat Auburn. They made free throws in OT to beat Purdue after Purdue had missed a crucial free throw late. It is not just the number of ft's that count, BUT WHEN YOU MAKE THEM (just ask Omar). UVA made them when they counted -- and won -- and Purdue (and New Mexico State, and others) missed them -- and lost. Can't explain it any more simply than that.
