Posting History (10)

In both men’s and women’s tournament play

It seemed the refs let physical play dominate and only calling the most egregious fouls. They also only called traveling when a player shuffled their feet, not when driving to the hoop. Looked like NBA style play to me.

Both learned their demeanor at

UVA. Geno as an assistant coach, Dawn as a player. That explains a lot.

Funding

More funds makes him a better procurer of talent

Shooting

We have been a poor shooting team in most every game, but made up for it in other ways. Against better teams the shooting woes are going to cost us.

3’s

True on fouls that were not called, but I saw them miss a lot of wide open 3’s with no defender near the shooter.

Losing interest

As a longtime fan and contributor, I have lost a significant portion of my interest and passion for men’s football and basketball due to the professionalization of those sports and the utter chaos paying players and agent influence has brought. I suspect this will be a trend across many fan bases and hurt interest broadly, making TV even more important to revenue creation. To me this is very sad, and I hope some sensible rules and process can be brought to the current mess. Probably will require Congressional action if some elected leader can envision and get support for a solution that reduces the chaos and brings a degree of fairness to both schools and athletes.

Elite 8

If your referring to 1967 tourney actually lost elite 8 game to Dayton, who then faced UCLA with Alcindor (before name change to Jabbar) when they were dominant in final 4.
