War damn eagle! I feel like we match up REALLY well against UVA with our ability to shoot the three. They can pack all they want - we will be draining 3s.

Yeah, we’re capable of winning it all. But there’s a reason these other 3 teams are in the Final 4 with us. Like us, they have found ways to win, even under adversity. We are going to need a couple more stellar performances to get an NC.

Ive been on the MSU bandwagon all season, and they got hosed with their seeding, even more so than us. I picked them to win it all bc in addition to being really good, the 2 seed gave them a chip on the shoulder. I would not feel overly-confident going into that game, but we could still damn well beat them.
I have not been overly concerned about UVA for an inexplicable reason, which now has me getting concerned closer to game time. I know they play great defense, but they havent played any offense like ours. We were supposed to be the poor-man's UNC, but look how that turned out. throw in the way WE are playing defense, and I have a lot of optimism.

If we shoot like we did against Kansas or UNC, we win.
LET'S MAKE IT RAIN.
HORACE I'M LOOKING AT YOU

I am definitely getting more nervous about this game, the closer we get. There is no doubt that we can beat anyone in the country the way we are playing, espeically if our shots are falling. And I wouldn't consider UVA a more difficult challenge than UNC or Kentucky, just a different challenge.
The pack line defense can give teams open 3 point looks with good ball movement, and players being ready to catch and shoot. But I am nervous about what happens if our shots aren't falling. We beat Kentucky because of Harper and Browns ability to drive past their man and get 2 point baskets. Without Okeke I don't know if we have anyone we can feed the ball into the post to run our offense through, and I have less confidence about Harper and Brown's ability to finish around the basket against this type of defense.
Offensively, they are one of the most efficient teams in the country. Their whole game plan is to take their time on offense, and don't turn it over. I definitely think our ability to turn them over will be huge in this game. So far this tournament we have done it to pretty much everyone. Also, they have the ability to get hot from 3 themselves, which makes me nervous since the 3 ball is usually our great equalizer.
UVA has given up over 70 points in 3 games this year, and lost 2 of them, both to Duke. Maryland is other team that scored over 70, which is interesting as neither of those teams are great shooting teams. UNC for comparison scored 61 points, which was a season low for them.
I have no doubt that we can win this game, but the match-up will definitely be interesting, and one I am kind of nervous about.
War Eagle!

We will need to score more than 70 to win IMO

MSU won’t beat Texas tech. That defense is stifling

Listening to gatech coach on 92.9 in Atlanta. He had praise for Auburn but expect uva to win it all. Says it takes excellent guard play and 3 pointers to beat uga and they have that.
Imho I'm sure uva is extremely motivated after last year but so is Auburn. And Texas tech and Michigan st. Let em play.
