Yeah, be some awesome games.

Hopefully Ga. Tech can manage a win or two to at least salvage some respect this season.

Yeah right.

 

[Derwin0]

Hokies are up by 12 now with only 9 minutes left to go. They've led the whole game and are having a pretty easy time of it.

That loss to Ga Tech must have really rattled the Hurricanes.

 

[BillD1984]

GOOOOOOOOO BC!!!!!!!! :up:up:up

 

[anders5189]

VT up 20 now. Game. Looks like Carolina will get the Hokies tomorrow.

 

[BillD1984]

I want Miami to win, just to get that seventh team into the Big Dance.

Not good.

Unless Tech or Maryland can go deep into the ACCT.

 

[Derwin0]

VT up 20 now.

Miami is just being embarrased. The loss to Ga Tech and this whipping pretty much knocked them out of the Big Dance.

 

[Derwin0]

(8) Va Tech beats (9) Miami to face (1) North Carolina

Final Score:
Va Tech 65, Miami 47

Now time to bring on the Jackets and those kittycats from up I-85.

 

[anders5189]

The good news is Carolina won't have to worry about Jack McClinton blowing up on them tomorrow. The bad news is Carolina may be without Ty Lawson.

 

[BillD1984]

Anders,

in your opinion what does Virginia Tech and Maryland have to do to get a bid?

VT needs to beat UNC and Maryland needs to win tonight and beat Wake tomorrow at least.

Funny thing is VT was in this exact situation last year. They needed one more win and faced Carolina, who was ranked #1, in the ACC SF. Carolina won on a last second shot by Hansbrough. Feels like deja vu.

 

[hancox]

Maryland is out, unless they win it. They stink.

 

[Derwin0]

woohoo, Tech is up by 3. Probably won't last, so I'll enjoy while I can.

This is more entertaining than the VT-Miami game. Can't go to sleep on that Clemson press. Still Paul Hewitt is an idiot for calling timeout every time Tech gets stuck in the backcourt. TO's don't grow on trees.

 

[anders5189]

Clemson and GT tied at 39 at the half.

 

[BillD1984]

Clemson is probably a 6 seed at present, but if they lose this game they're in danger of playing in a dreaded 8-9 game.

 

[anders5189]

GT 67
Clemson 58

under 8 to play.

How bout the Rambling Wreck today?
