Yes the last few years I always looked at Virginia as a better offensive version of is, appears we've switched places. Good thing is we don't have to worry about them getting seeded higher than us now, 9 losses. Bye bye

Huggins just went to a knee in a team huddle in the WVU game. Scary for a second. People were concerned for his health for a minute, then he yelled at someone and everything was fine.

One thing is for certain though, we might play slow. But we don't play Virginia slow. Not even close offensively.


Virginia uses over 21 seconds per possession on offense and we use something like 18.1 and even last year used 17.9.

They play slow slow basketball.

I also think our adj. tempo is very slow because once we have a big lead with like 8 minutes to go, we basically just stand there and burn the entire clock. We do play at a relatively slow pace in the middle of the game too, but near the end, if we're up by double-digits, we basically refuse to shoot if there are over 8 seconds left on the shot clock. It's as slow as possible without getting a shot-clock violation. I don't always agree with it, but I think that skews our tempo numbers a bit.

Penn St beating Purdue
44-38 in the second half. Hope this holds up. If it does don't know how you put them ahead of us when it comes to seeding. Go Penn St!!

Our Defense skews Tempo as well. Your teams overall tempo will be down if your team plays defense that causes a lot of late clock shots and violations

Realistically, losses by both GA Tech and Clemson last night should eliminate them from an at-large big, right? I can't imagine a 12-loss Clemson getting in.

There's no way Clemson is getting in. Or, at least, I hope not. 4-11 in conference play is BAD.

I'd rather see teams from smaller conferences get in, especially if the favorite gets upset in the conference tournament. It makes the whole thing look like a joke if teams with that many losses are still allowed in.
