@TheCardiacCane @Mikeysurf @EmbracePaceUVA And as far as taking the L, I've accepted the loss. You guys won fair and square. You played well. My only point was that claiming UVA was favored by the officials is asinine.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@TheCardiacCane @Mikeysurf @EmbracePaceUVA And UVA commits the 2nd fewest fouls in the country per game at 12.7. NC St commits almost 18 per game and is ranked 193rd. So, NC St was called for fewer fouls than their per game average, and UVA was called for well over their average. Food for thought.

@TheCardiacCane @Mikeysurf @EmbracePaceUVA Haha ok buddy. Funderburk is a good player, but he didn't make anybody look like a JV player. He was open on some rolls bc we hard hedge every ball screen and the help was a bit late a few times. Almost every bucket he had was a 3 ft bunny.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@TheCardiacCane @Mikeysurf @EmbracePaceUVA Both teams were called for 17 fouls and shot 14 and 15 free throws respectively.

@K24P @kenpomeroy He probably told them what to do on a miss or make. That's typically what goes on in those timeouts. Whether they actually ran it or not....

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@chirpyma @Baselne2Packlne Yeah, he definitely tweaked it early in the game. Not sure how much it was affecting him.

@DrewGoodman89 I guess it's a good thing in a way, because we've been SO spoiled by success the last 5 or 6 years. We just have to be patient. In my opinion, this isn't as hard to stomach as the Pete Gillen and Dave Leitao years. We know we have an unbelievable coach and some guys in new roles.

@RockChalkBlog Then don't watch it

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@RockChalkBlog And no title since I was in high school. I'll be 30 in July.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@RockChalkBlog Since we're talking about bad looks, what about losing to 13 seed Bucknell, 11 VCU, 9 Northern Iowa, and 10 Dayton.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@RockChalkBlog You know who else was lucky? Every single national champion. You must have some luck to run the table in a tournament that isn't a best-of series format. We've made the tournament 6 years in a row and have made two elite eights in the last 4 years with a natty. Looks good to me.

@AlecLower @brianonorio @robwinborn @RTD_MikeBarber Haha I wouldn't worry. They're not very good. They did you a favor.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@AlecLower @brianonorio @robwinborn @RTD_MikeBarber I may just have them surgically removed since they're such a superfluous nuisance haha

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@AlecLower @brianonorio @robwinborn @RTD_MikeBarber Haha I'll be sure to do that. I feel so enlightened. Enjoy your night, fellas.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@AlecLower @brianonorio @robwinborn @RTD_MikeBarber This is so wrong, I don't even know what to say. Your thumb touches the ball on every single dribble. Period. You're just flat out wrong.

[Austin Blackwell @AustinB719]

@AlecLower @brianonorio @robwinborn @RTD_MikeBarber You guys are hilarious. I'm actually really enjoying this. The argument that thumbs are of no use in basketball is completely asinine. If you're being sarcastic, then that's funny and I approve. If you're serious, you know very little about the game of basketball.
