VT @ UVA not on national tv tonight?

pathetic.

Although I'm hearing that next year the ACC network will be available on DirecTV. I already get Big10 and SEC network.

Swofford would have gotten it out there earlier had his son gotten the contract earlier.
 
It's ok, best game of the night is LSU @ Ole Miss and I get that on the SEC network all the way up here in Chicago.

I read somewhere that no one wanted to watch UVA due to their low scoring offense. So many complaints, so the networks opted out.
I always enjoyed their coach and style of play.

We average 73.8 points per game, tied for 182nd in the country. It could be a lot worse.
 
I have ridiculous amounts of respect for Tony Bennett and the program he's built. But people don't want to watch that crap he calls "basketball."

I disagree. I love watching Virginia surgically demolish their opponents one possession at a time. They truly are the only team where the saying "every possession matters" is accurate.

Have you watched them this year? They have a top 10 offense in CBB. Come on man, you're better than this.

The casual fan doesn't appreciate efficiency. The casual fan wants tempo. Not many teams are great at putting those two together though. Only Gonzaga, Duke, Creighton, and Michigan State are top 10 in adjusted offensive efficiency and top 100 in adjusted tempo. Only Duke is top 50 in tempo.

Understood but @GE Nole Nole isn't just a casual basketball fan so I have higher expectations for him. Winking

Hopefully he"ll tune in to watch the UVA beatdown of Duke this Saturday.

It's a preference thing. I'm not really concerned whether people find us boring or not. Putting basketball in quotation marks was a little hurtful though @GE Nole :)

I saw them squeeze the life out of FSU, that’s for sure.

I didn’t say I don’t want to watch UVA. I said general fans don’t. Frankly, I think their O gets a bad rap (though I do think Tony should relax the reigns just a little now that he has more talent than most teams). It’s their D that really makes their brand of ball tough to watch for most casual fans.
 
can someone at least keep me updated on buzz williams perspiration?

he doesn't sweat as much this year. It looks like he lost a little weight maybe. Either way, in the few Va tech games I've see he's stayed dry, hasn't even gone to a new shirt at halftime.
 
Wow. What a performance by UVA. They just have weapons all over the court. 12 assists for Jerome.
