Coach K said our Sweet 16 team under Buzz had Final Four potential.

I think that was said prior to the NCAAT that year. Gee, if Buzz had been concentrating 100% on VT instead of essentially working part time for Texas A&M, we most likely would have been a Final Four team that year - that's of course IMHO. Buzz will get Maryland to the Sweet 16 eventually - maybe more than that, I dunno. But since Maryland is in the B1G now, they are pretty much off my radar unless we play them. But I would have rather Buzz stayed out west instead of coming east - IMHO, he came this way partially because of the fertile recruiting ground in the Maryland/Northern Virginia area.

That inbounds play was a thing of beauty.

Man that play haunts me.

Not to mention Clarkes suspension that year, they did well without him

We were a clear 2/3 with a full strength team

I get the possibility if a committee penalized a team for injuries

We had a very close loss to #3 uva, a win over #3 Duke and two O/T losses

There's an easy argument of winning the two O/T games vs FSU, plus the

Buzz will do fine there. He'll coach them into the NCAAT every year...

If he follows the pattern from VT and Texas A&M he will build up one team

Odds are extremely low that he'll be there long term...lol**
EDGEMAN • 04/03/25 04:10 PM ET
Yes, but unless he becomes less wing-focused, he'll hit his ceiling again.**
