That was a crazy game between NC State and Virginia.
The big dude on NC State; DJ Burns is something else. He reminds me of Zach Randolph.
I thought UVA should have fouled up three with five seconds on the shot clock, but then I remembered they're a terrible free throw shooting team.
UVA is Beekman, McNeely and Dunn to an extent.
Last night was a textbook case of why you should practice your free throws. They literally lost the game because they missed 4 in the last 1:10 while being up 5.
Last time I saw that was Spurs v. Heat game 6 with the Ray Allen three. Leonard and Manu missing crucial free throws.
Considering how poorly Wagner has looked with Kentucky, he and Bradshaw made tha wrong decision. They both are going to be drafted behind a slow unheralded guard that is the new hillbilly Kobe, Austin Reeves clone.
If they would have gone to Louisville all would have fared better, oh well.
I think NC State is taking it from UVA tonightIt's going to be a lot of unhappy schools tomorrow with the amount of tournament upsets hurting the bubble teams.
New Mexico and Temple/UAB getting in is costing two teams.
Congrats NC State. I'm sick to my fucking stomach. Carolina played timid from the jump. But at least it's not Duke. This State team is the toughest I've seen in a good while.
and Keatts was on the hot seat.
This isn't a unlikable state team.
I was worried they were going to lose. They were playing for something and we had already won the regular season. Seemed like only RJ was into the game.
I ain't gonna front. That big sucka had me shook from the moment he came out on the court. They said guarding him was like guarding a dump truck and they weren't lying.DJ Burns changes so much. He’s kinda unstoppable and he’s a great passer.
This is exactly where I am with it. State came to win and they earned it.Bacot also seemed timid of Burns. He wouldn’t go at him. They kept a body on Cormac, and the other roles never really got going consistently. RJ just tried to will his way, but his shot was broke.
State played a great game and UNC got beat. They were the better team last night. I was upset, but not that upset.
