Well, I was all excited to write a glowing tribute to the fortitude, strength and overall upside of a hungry UVa hoops squad on the brink after last Thursday... but fates conspired. After a thrilling win over Virginia Tech AND a North Carolina loss, all that stood in Virginia's way of their first #1 seed going into the ACC tournament since 1995 was a road victory at lowly Wake Forrest on Saturday. As Ben and I both feared (and deep down expected), Uva came up short. Now we're likely playing Duke in the second round and I imagine they'll be just a little riled up. Speaking of...
...What the hell was that foul all about?!?! Tyler Hansbrough got fucked up on an obvious cheap shot in the closing seconds of "The Greatest College Rivalry Around" and cooler heads prevailed? Does anybody else see why this so incredibly lame? Hansbrough got his pout on (like the kid on the little league team who cries after he strikes out) and I know, I know, he was maimed and bleeding profusely... but still. If you don't have the presence of mind to flip out, brush aside your teammates and go all Tyler Durden on Coach K, bleeding on him and laughing hysterically... then I don't know if you are ready for the prime time. There, I said it...
As far as Uva goes... If they go one-and-done here, get knocked down to a 6 seed and get one of those dangerous mid-majors in the first round, I'm going to lose it myself.
