Va. Tech 4, UVA 2 -- 5 minutes in. 

40 points could win this!

Seriously though, Ledlum is terrible. Do these coaches know what they are looking for when they scout?

Indiana has him as a primary target. Tenn wanted him, but realized he wouldn’t start. St. John’s wanted him. I watch 10 min of highlight packages and looked at his stats and knew exactly what he was. Baffling.

Woody’s system is so bad. He truly doesn’t understand the analytics. He will never be a big time college success without diametrically changing his systems. Not good.

That is what happens when you recruit transfers because you don't have enough time to actually get to know these guys

100%.  I check scores more than watch college games. At least in the NBA you know what you will have for a couple years.

I use to watch whatever game was on that night but like tonight I have no desire to watch the UVA and VA Tech game.

UVA has been struggling lately. They have one of the best shooters in the country but really have struggled to get him looks.

43-21 Tech with 16 min to go.  Virginia had been playing better lately but not playing good tonight.   Desire to watch is high

63-33 with 5 mins left. And the color guy positing that UVA’s defense has been a bigger problem than their offense. Sorry, no, if you’ve scored 33 points in 35 mins the offense is the problem.

Arizona, even with a broke athletic department, extends Tommy Lloyd. No brainer. No coincidence that Gonzaga has slowly deteriorated some since he left.

UVA is HARD TO WATCH!

Also read earlier today South Carolina working on an extension for Paris.   Scratch 2 more names off our candidate list

Lloyd was a hell of a call. Arizona’s, what, a top 10 job and they hooked up career assistant. Great job of identifying a fit.

They play IUN (our Gary campus). That's just a few minutes from where I grew up -- took a couple summer classes there years and years ago. Didn't even know they played hoops. 

What part of Lake County?

FWIW, I think IUN started playing basketball 15-20 years ago.  Most of the players on their team come from the Chicago public leagues.

That color guy is insane. They just won this weekend scoring 47 points…lol.  
 

Their defense wasn’t good tonight, but their offense has been disjointed the last few games. Not sure what’s going on other than he has some young guys and if beekman doesn’t play well they stall out.

This was always going to be a rebuilding year. They lost 4 starters and 5 guys (2 of them split time starting). 4 guys to graduation and 1 to the portal.  
 

Tough to be the type of program  that loses starters to the portal and still compete at the top of the ACC.

Color guy was Cory Alexander, former UVA guy. Of course there's gonna be a little gas lighting.

Houston fouled Iowa St at least 4 times on that possession and didn’t get called for any of them.  lol 

[rcbowla 7,696]

Norfolk St/NC Central game pretty good ending going down. NCC was down 7 about 90 seconds ago and just hit a 3 to tie with 1:00 to go

The officiating has been B1G level bad in this game
