ACC Tourney

You guys have to watch this....it is great.

Did you know that the CBS basketball song has lyrics!

(a Duke hate shout out too)

 

[Hokie200proof]

Somehow I have troubling believing those are the original lyrics.

BULLSHIT!!!!!

S1m is a huge fan of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and has the original B-side!

Just curious, who likes our chances tonight? With our lack of depth, it's hard for me to see us winning. Not that I think Duke is all that great this year.
Even if he is feeling a little better, I don't think Rankin should play. He's been bothered by that knee all year, I don't want to risk him re-aggravating it.

i think a lot of it will depend on how well duke is shooting the 3 tonight

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Duke is in and is not playing with the urgency that we are. We are historically very competitive with them. I like our chances a lot!!!!

I like that!! Kick some ass tonight guys!!

Duke has won 7 ACC titles in the last decade, and 3 in a row. Focus, urgency, whatever you want to call it: Duke will have the correct amount. If we are even going to have a chance, this better be the most complete game our guys have played all year. Defend the 3, contain Rivers, and attack the basket. Kelly being out (right?) is a small help, if we can force the ball inside and draw fouls.

This is why I think we win.

We seem to always come to play when no one gives us a shot in hell (and I think it's well beyond just you not giving us a shot in hell). Of course the Greenberg script says we should have lost yesterday (and of course, tried to... I swear we're the only team that can lose to the foul/shoot 3's inside-of-a-minute-strategy). So who the fuck knows?

right, Kelly is out, unless something changed today...one good thing about not being on the bubble this year, is we can play loose, and not worry about how many games we need to win to get in the tourney

Whoops...

North Carolina State Wolfpack vs. Virginia Cavaliers - Recap - March 09, 2012 - ESPN

Don't be surprised if you miss the dance. It's call the VT treatment.

I gave up making predictions about Hokie basketball this year. I don't think I've got a single one right.

 

[Ragingcroc]

We've got to play better D if we want the game to stay close.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

typical dookies.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

doe is hitting the glass hard tonight, but he needs to be a bit more patient and kick the ball out rather than force shots.

 

[Ragingcroc]

I wish DFS would go up stronger to the basket.

or go up strong and go to the charity stripe

 

[hokiecheme11]

Seriously, Austin Rivers looks completely out of control and gets the blocking call every single time. I don't get it

 

[Ragingcroc]

I don't think we're hitting enough shots or executing well enough to beat Duke. Prove me wrong Hokies.

 

[HoHumHokie]

Hokies looking fatigued on D now. Too much Robert Brown [mis-]handling the ball on offense. Green needs to take charge and look for Eddie or DFS open for 3.

Raines can't even raise his arms with the ball without a Dookie flopping and getting the foul call.
