The Miami players choked that away, Coach L can't shoot and dribble for them. No FGs for last 9 minutes and Larkin just throwing the ball out of bounds.

But SF deserves it so have at it.

Coach could've made the adjustments like he did in the beginning of the game going from man-to-man to zone.

I like Coach L, but lost tons of respect with his comments.

What comments?

Oh, the CAA thing? Found it, reading.

Campaigning before you've taken care of business is pretty lame.

Has anyone watched this documentary? It looks awesome: http://www.thestreetstopsheremovie.com/

pathetic showing by Mason last night on the road. Wanted them to win to make things even crazier in the CAA.

Radford University sanctioned by the NCAA for Basketball and Tennis violations, and former Men's BB coach Brad Greenberg (Seth's brother) banned from recruiting for 5 years (with the effect being to ban him for 5 years from coaching at all).

All this for one trip to the NCAA tourney to be blown out by UNC.

I wonder how hammonds is gonna feel about this. I went there and couldn't really care but it sucks to see that they wont get any decent talent in awhile.

they are 6-26 this year, I went there too (88-92), it may be time to just put the program out to pasture.

As long as Radford keeps the ratio of easy slamhounds to angry bros greater than 10 we're all good.

VCU lays a beatdown on Mason tonight. Cornelius tries to run out on the court during senior recognition and gets 8k fiercely booing him. Disrespectful.

Kevrock · « **Reply #212:** February 25, 2012, 11:15:13 PM »

The sanctions at Radford only affect the BB and Tennis programs, right?

hammondsnats · « **Reply #213:** February 26, 2012, 01:17:21 AM »

Radford will be fine ... this was a rebuilding year anyway and Mike Jones (Silver Spring native, former VCU top assistant and one of the better recruiters out there) has one of the school's best classes in recent memory coming in next year (YaYa Anderson is a machine).

It'll be fine.

Miami smokes FSU without Reggie Johnson. If Miami wins out (@ NC State, BC) they dance. NC State won't be an easy game.

ACC March Tourney Outlook

Quote

Locks: Duke, North Carolina, Florida State

The league title race is a two-horse show after Florida State lost at Reggie Johnson-less Miami Sunday night. Duke's at Wake Forest and North Carolina is hosting Maryland before Saturday's showdown at Cameron, so that one likely will be for the outright crown. Virginia ambles along as the fourth team looking for NCAA tourney fun, but is that where the cutoff line will be?

SHOULD BE IN

None.

IN THE MIX

Virginia (21-7, 8-6; RPI: 39, SOS: 83)

Staving off Virginia Tech on the road became even more important when the Cavaliers couldn't handle North Carolina at home. They get Florida State at home and at Maryland to close things up. This is a surprisingly sparse resume, but given the landscape, 9-7 may well be enough. If it's a win over Florida State, all the better. The top-100 mark is solid, but it's mostly lean beef.
GW: Michigan, at LSU??
BL: Virginia Tech?, TCU(N)??, at Clemson

Miami (17-10, 8-6; RPI: 48, SOS: 32)

The Hurricanes may have saved their season with Sunday's home thumping of Florida State sans Reggie Johnson, who was ruled temporarily ineligible before the game. While I joked on Twitter afterward that the performance undercuts the pre-Johnson nonconference excuses a bit, it's a huge boost for the Canes. Now they close at NC State and home to Boston College. Getting both would be very big.
GW: at Duke, Florida State
BL: None, really

North Carolina State (18-11, 7-7; RPI: 72, SOS: 29)

This is probably not happening now that the Wolfpack missed on all three chances for a profile-defining win and then topped it off with a loss at Clemson in OT. The Pack have to sweep Miami and then win in Blacksburg, and then win several ACC tourney games. They're currently 0-8 against the RPI top 50 and have three sub-100 losses.
GW: at Miami?
BL: Georgia Tech, at Clemson, at Stanford?

Telling you, Virginia is not a lock.

So nervous for these last two games!!!

The only blemish is the SOS and loss to TCU (although TCU picked up a few wins towards the end of the year).

UVA will get in and I think will win one in the NCAA.

I'm rooting for them (obviously when not playing UMD ... which ps looks like a win for you guys now, seeing how MD gave up down in Atlanta).

Kevrock · « **Reply #218:** February 29, 2012, 01:00:24 PM »

They need to win one of their last two. If not, they finish 0-3 with 8 wins.

The only thing worse than sitting through a college basketball game forced to listen to Dick Vitale is listening to Dick Vitale doing a Duke game.

I LOVE dickie v, but yeah him doing a Duke game is just brutal. if you're the opposing team, you really have to outplay the Dukies for him to compliment you (see: tonight).

The worst is when Dukie V starts talking Duke during a game that doesn't involve them. As if they don't get enough pub from other means.
