Same results. Just a different year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Being a "title contender" doesn't mean you have to win it all. It means you are in the mix to win one. And UVA is in that mix this year as they have been in previous years. thebigweave, coonhounds and IUc2016 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Pretty amazing that this kid was getting redshirted this year until Azubuike went down with the hand injury. He was the lowest rated recruit behind McD All Americans Grimes, Dotson, and Mccormick and might be the best freshman on the team and the second best player on the team behind Lawson. It's just next man up for KU. mdn82 1 Quote
Popular Post Uspshoosier Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Posted February 12, 2019 Duke is a title contender. Tennessee is a title contender. Because they can be seen winning it all. Everyone knows what will happen to Virginia. Everyone knows what happens with that style of play. It doesn’t win championships. Maybe in HS.

coonhounds Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Virginia is in the never going to win a title category until proven otherwise. Same for Wisconsin. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appYou do see how ignorant that sounds dont you? Never going to win until proven otherwise lol. Go research what being a contender means.

HoosierAloha Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Playing in the the pigsty.. UVA. Is a solid program. I’d be happy with their recent success over the next 5 years, minus the loss to a 16 seedSent from my iPad using BtownBanners Rico, Ranger78, ALASKA HOOSIER and 3 others 6 Quote
Rico Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 First the mid-major thing and now UVA? I wonder if Joe thinks North Carolina is a title contender? thebigweave 1 Quote
ap2345 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Virginia has done this with only getting 3 and 4 star recruits. Yes they have had a history of getting beat in the tournament. This year I think might possibly be little different with their balance of athleticism in Hunter to go with the shooting that Guy and Jerome bring unless they play Duke.

HoosierX Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 37 minutes ago, Joe DeLow said: This year? No. 2017 was an obvious one for them. Just like Villanova last year. Is Villanova this year? No. But last years Nova team was stacked. There are only a few with any real shot. Sure “everyone” has a chance in a single elimination tourney, but only a few have what it takes. Virginia doesn’t because they hinder themselves with their style of play. Tony Bennett isn’t a coach to bend any on his style. When they had the athletes and better talent to run a 16 off the floor, they continued playing slow and got themselves ran off the floor. It happens to all sorts of teams. Crean showed that playing slow for his teams wasn’t a good thing because it wasn’t a style he could coach. If UVa would speed their game up and gain another 10 possessions per game, they’d be a title contender. A team you’re not expecting to lose in the Sweet 16. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app You do realize that your opponent then gets another 10 possessions as well right? That statement in and of itself doesn't make any sense. All you can do is put yourself in a position to win year in and year out. If Virginia continues to do that, they will eventually break through. Quote
