Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 17 Author Moderators Share Posted March 17 A potential Round of 32 game vs Rick Barnes is so much fun to think about. Of course, no chance to get up and go to the bathroom… neither coach will call timeouts. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted March 17 Moderators Share Posted March 17 Very favorable R64 draw for the Longhorns. Virginia flirted with the NIT after a loss to 10-Seed NC State in OT in the ACC tournament. Colorado State has four players averaging 10+ this season. Fun team from a competitive conference, though someone Texas should handle. The possible meeting with Rick Barnes and Tennessee is what intrigues me the most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted March 17 Moderators Share Posted March 17 No Oklahoma in the tournament this year. Also, Indiana State misses the tournament as the 27th team in the NET rating - the highest rated team to miss the tournament. Committee gave UVA the nod based off program reputation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 17 Author Moderators Share Posted March 17 Texas and Colorado State have one common opponent: Colorado State split with Wyoming in conference play. Texas beat Wyoming 86-63 early in the season without Dylan Disu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 17 Author Moderators Share Posted March 17 If it's Virginia in Round of 64 (which I think it will be) ... the Cavaliers finished third in the ACC at 13-7. They are not a quality free throw shooting team. And play the slowest pace in college basketball. Would be a tempo game for Texas to try and control pace. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id/258 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantnelson02 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I would prefer Virginia over CSU. Stevens for CSU could take over a game UVA has no one I worry about. Love playing a slow tempo team that can't score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
