Hey, UT looks like the Tennessee from earlier in the year with a 19 point win over Kansas. We even hit threes this game.
Lots of upsets today. GT over FSU. VT over UVA. Florida over West Virginia. Oklahoma over Alabama.
Pitt.... kinda self destructed in their game against Notre Dame. Technical fouls... And one play made Jeff capel so pissed he was all over him as he came out of the game, and the dude just went to the locker room.
Not a good look.
Welp, I figured this was going to go this way. Clemson had lost too many recently, and we were on a streak. Definitely doomed.
Argh.
Ugh. I still don't know how UNC has somehow not had any positive tests crop up in the players or surrounding program staff. We've had games postponed, but always due to the other team needing to do so.
I hope whoever tested positive has no severe symptoms or repercussions.
[massive exhale]
Gah!
Another down to the final seconds game for Duke/UNC. Not the prettiest effort (though light years beyond whatever was going on at Clemson... Gross), but I'll take it!
Yeah that was... poorly officiated.
Duke started bringing pressure... which really meant fouling the sh*t out of UNC at every chance... once they got down 12. And the refs let a lot of it go to get the game close.
Bluedevils on the wrong side of the bubble. Good.
I know that officiating is part of the game, and as a fan of one of the teams playing, I often can't trust my judgement. But yeah, there were some... questionable calls down the stretch.
Like I said tho... I'll take the W.
Now to see if Tennessee can remember how to basketball in the second half.

They did. Kentucky collapses again.
What a bad season for the wildcats.

Still a pretty bad game for the Vols overall, but we were fighting the whistle in the first half. Just not playing consistently.
That Keon block from behind on the three to Fulkerson who handed it to Vescovi for the full court pass to Springer for the dunk on the other end was a thing of beauty, though.

The Vols played a much better second half than the first half. Kentucky stayed true to form in that they played well for ~25 min and then exploded in some fashion or another. These two things combined resulted in a Vols victory.
UT is just so inconsistent on offense. Defense is strong, offense works until it doesn't. Then you lose to Ole Miss.
I hope that the bad games of Fulkerson and Pons causing the two freshmen to produce so well in the second half will teach them what they can mean to this team as we near the tourneys. Fulkerson scored 27 at Rupp last year, and I think 0 this year. Instead the Vols won on the backs of the freshman and consistent performance of JJJ.
Welp, there it is. Miami @ UNC postponed due to potential (pending tests) covid exposure for UNC players (possibly exposed while celebrating the Duke win... sheesh).
I knew it was a matter of time before college kids would end up college kid-ing, and now they may have cost themselves (and their teammates) several opportunities to win games. It just goes back to the whole "we probably shouldn't be playing college sports at all" thing.
Duke falls to Notre Dame for their third consecutive loss. Kentucky drops a close one at home for their 13th loss of the season.
Michigan state barely survives Penn State at home.
Still no news as to whether UNC will resume playing or be forced to cancel upcoming contests.
I definitely think this may be Gonzaga's best shot at a title since 2017. Barring something amazing happening, it seems likely that Baylor and Gonzaga will meet for the title (assuming the tournament happens)
Argh. I loathe playing UVA. There is just something about that style that just absolutely stymies unc. So frustrating.

Yeah I'm kind of glad Louisville's game @UVA was canceled. We've yet to win down there since we joined the league and only beat them twice at home. And they've generally been one of our home+away matchups every season.
Man they are tough... checks schedule, yep tomorrow night, 7pm

I think UNC has lost 7 in a row to them. Bennett's pack line always seems to bring out the WORST in our shooters. UNC was 1-13? 14? from 3 pt range last night, which is just absolutely awful. Lowest score for the season, fewest points scored in a half, and lowest shooting percentage. Just an ugly, ugly game. :/
And now our Tuesday match with VT has been postponed / cancelled due to Covid-19, so that's another ranked team matchup opportunity gone. Bubble is shrinking rapidly. :/
Looks like FSU showed up tonight. Got close a couple of times but fortunately we pulled it out.
I never saw them get closer than 7 in the second half. Thought they might be making a bit of a run, but then FSU said enough of that crap!
Impressive win by the Seminoles.
I wish we had that kind of shooting touch against UVA!
In other news, we're now scheduled to play a game against Northeastern. I figured we might also try to schedule Northsouthington State and Western East Tech A&M School of Cuisine. Really go after those quad 7 wins.
How many games are we not going to have this year due to COVID. Looks like we have more cancellations coming up
