Playing 3rd #1 seed

[Sbee]

Wisconsin was going to be the 1 in the east, but we beat them so they got knocked to a 2. Michigan was going to be the 1 in the east, we won and they're a 2. now we have to play the team that took the spot vacated by our two wins, I think this is the best of the 3 but if we play well, we'll win. there are no clear matchup advantages for Virginia, they could possibly post their guards but in general matchups favor us.

we've beaten teams of this caliber in the last few weeks, we should do it again tonight

seem to recall a lot of talk about how we matched up w/ Duke better than anyone in the tournament on these sites last year. We'll know when the ball is in the air. Can't wait.

we'll have to play well, there will be some open 3's in transition and out of double teams, we need to knock those down.

how the game is called will be key, both teams are physical, it might be a war of attrition

As an unbiased basketball fan in this game I have to say this worries me. These teams like to bang and if the refs get whistle happy I might have to turn to the other game.

UVA does not get called for fouls. 12th in the nation in least fouls per game.

I hope at the end of the game the box score doesnt say UVA 28-37 FTM. This will be a great game if the refs let them play....

well they also play a slower tempo so any stat based on totals will be low, low total rebounds, low TO, low FGA, etc, percentages matter a little more. lower possession games mean fewer fouls though I do remember Duke being in big time foul trouble each time they played
