Is it too cliche to say Virginia and Villanova ranks right up there with vacated and virus as previous champs?

I mean I have serious issues with uva but These two have basically been the best two programs the last 5 years. No? Meanwhile the one and done factories of duke and Uk haven’t been to a final 4 in the last 5 years.

They have done it. In 2016 they played the first of a H&H at UVa and Virginia won. Following year in Philly, Nova won.. great games both times. Fan bases would love to lock it in, but at least in nova's case there are a lot of games already commited.. 4 in the big 5 in phila, 20 BE games, the BE-Big ten challenge and now the BE - Big XII... add in a holiday tournament and maybe a cupcake to start the season, just not a lot of slots.

I would definitely love to play Villanova every single year. UVA needs more high profile non-conference games and it doesn't get much better than Nova. Plus, I think playing a team like Nova exposes a lot of your weaknesses so you have things to work on for the rest of the season. Hope Bennett and Wright lock this up for the future.

We are looking at titles and finals 4’s here the last few years. Start building teams for the long haul again and maybe we would have more respect for you. Duke in the 90s and 2000s was respectable. 3-4 year guys coming up through the ranks. Great team basketball. Then coach K sold out.

That's not saying much Junior. You want a seat at the big boys table and it's not happening right now, matter of fact it won't happen in your life time.

i do be care to air with you dipshits at all. I will continue to own you though
 
Translate your first comment. As for owning anyone, you're not smart enough.

You join every thread I am in I absolutely own you. I wasnt even discussing your fake university in this thread and of course you respond to me. I own you in every way.
 
I am much smarter than you. You are sidewalk clown that couldn’t even get in to a decent school.


You been stuck on stupid for a while but that loss to UVA has done a number on you. You may wanna call your PCM so you can get some help.
 
With a post title like that, I expected there to be about a tournament featuring Virginia, South Carolina, Auburn, and Tennessee.
 
Whatever it takes to wins championships. These two programs definitely know more about that than Kentucky does recently.

I am think I am done going after uva. I am at piece now. More fun to poke the circle jerk of blue bloods
