Virginia is such an overrated MBB program.

A little early yet. They are a great team and great program right now. Bennett is perhaps best tactical coach in country. My guess is he studies strengths and weaknesses of each ACC team in offseason and preps team accordingly. He does not get that prep time with NCAAs. You dont lose only 3 games and win ACC crown without being damn good. He just needs to get them over hump and into FF once.
 
Agree ! No way they're a no 1 seed. Michigan is more deserving than those clowns
 
Virginia has trouble when teams penetrate their defense AND get hot from the field. G-W is:

53.6% FG
44.4% 3pt shots
7 assists

UVA has 8 turnovers.

You don't go through the ACC with only 3 losses and suck. However, they are not a hot team come tourney time (which is where it counts).

All those meaningless regular season wins.
 
The game’s not over yet. ;)

Virginia is clearly a very good team. I don’t think anyone seriously thinks they suck, but it’s also true that they tend to underperform in the NCAA tourney. They are the only #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed and are struggling again today. That said, they are a second half team and I expect them to put this game away shortly.

UVA up 21 points now...are they properly rated or underrated now? Not sure how this works.
They are really solid defensively. Maybe nerves in the first half. Some people don't even watch 1 game a week during the season and think they know everything.
 
Not sure if they will get to final four but they are one great team. I love the coach and the guys on that team. Wish we had Tony Bennett.

Another rough day for that overrated squad headed to the Sweet 16 off back to back double digit wins.

That was a very impressive win over a team that gets handed a NCAA bid two years straight despite losing 28 out of 58 games.

OU MBB program is a NIT program.

Oklahoma came 5 points short of scoring 100 against Ole Miss.

They barely broke 50 against Virginia.

You clearly don't watch basketball if you think Virginia is overrated.
 
All those meaningless regular season wins.

Meaningless ACC wins. Yeah....

PSU could stand to have more meaningless regular season wins to go with all our meaningless regular season losses. Would have LOVED a chance at a post-season loss in the NCAA tourney. That would have been more meaningful to us than UVA’s undeserved 1 seed, which we likely won’t see out of PSU in our lifetimes.

The issue with UVa and them losing to a 16 and not immediately jumping out to a 20 pt lead vs another 16 is style. UVa is not a Duke or UNC that plays higher tempo, high possession games. They keep are a half court team who plays at a slower pace than most as well as trying to wear you out on their offensive end with continuous screening to get their shooters shots. They play a brand of half court D that typically cuts out penetration but can lead to open perimeter shots with quick ball movement. Many of these low seeds are smaller teams that rely on 1 or 2 outside shooters. If they get hot UVa can be in trouble
