A Sea Of Red

58-29 with 15 minutes to play. Radford actually played them even for about a 12 minute span, but the damage was done, and now NOVA is pulling away again.

14 seed Stephen F. Austin leading 3 seed Texas Tech 30-27 at the half.

Liberty would have been a better representative from BSC than Radford.

#16 Penn gave #1 Villanova a game today, until late.

12 seed Davidson tied at 54 with Kentucky with 7 minutes to play.

While I would like to say I think we could have given Nova a better game than Radford did today, the fact is, we had 3 chances to beat them this year and lost all 3 times, so we will never know. Personally, I am not a fan of Radford in general, but from what I know, their basketball team has pretty much stayed classy this year.

It's crazy to think we should've won the Houston and UNCG game.

Ballcoach you stay saying dumb stuff. It's all about match ups and Nova would've lit us up from 3. We would've lost by 30+ easily.

No, they didn’t.

Kansas is the weakest of the 1-seeds.

Lost a final four team in my bracket with Zona’s loss. Sean Miller practically ran off the court.

Loyola(Chicago) is UVA’s mini-me.

URI is FEISTY.

Heart breaks for VT. Love me some Buzz Williams! Foul trouble killed them, I think. Sexton (Alabama) is the REAL DEAL.

Michigan looks sloppy. Too much time off?

Looking to tomorrow: LET’s Goooooooo MOUNTAINEERS!

Buffalo shocks Arizona for the upset of the evening!

It’s obvious ballcoach lives in an Alternate Sports Universe.

Guess the fact that NO PAC 12 made it out of the first Round ends the ‘Should USC have made it” debate.

I don’t trust The Mountaineers. Love them to death though.

You think HCTG was wearing some old Buffalo gear last night?

This Tourney really is wide open

The infamous, Tim Scarborough, joins in at around the 17 minute mark.

Love it.

Didn't know you were doing show under Virginia Sports Report. We used to publish a magazine with that name. You want our logo? It's not being used anymore for anything.

Thanks for listening! Wednesday was our first podcast. We also have a website, that's still in progress: http://www.virginiasportsreport.com

That logo is awesome! I just paid to have ours made though. lol.

Marshall takes down Wichita State 81-75. 13 seed beats 4 seed.

Cider is probably still dancing on the ceiling for that one.

Always good to beat old purple-faced Greg Marshall. =

Marshall is my kind of team. The play fast and shoot the ball, according to a couple clippings I just read.

And Marshall has the best shot blocker in the country; and they have a shooting guard named Elmore whose dad played for VMI.

Best shot blocker in the Country? Easy there son.....

We’ll get to see how he stacks us against Kanate!

I remember his dad playing for VMI. I'm getting old.

The best shot blocker in the country got fouled out on ticky tack calls and his team lost in OT. The Dance now becomes a side note in my house.

No. WVU won convincingly Kanate was in early foul trouble like usual but did fine. The little fellow in the post for Texas did foul out on a questionable call but may have gotten away with one on the first shot. Either way Texas should have pulled that one out

How about CBS letting the Nevada coach drop about 5 F-bombs on live TV. Doh!!

I’ve seen Bamba and Kanate a lot. Haven’t seen Marshall’s guy. Kanate is better than Bamba.

Kanate is the best I’ve seen. But I wasn’t alive for much of Wilt or Russell. It’s like he’s truly playing volleyball out there on defense. It’s fun to watch. The Texas fellow isn’t bad. But he’s better than the kid on West Virgina’s jV team

You said ‘Best’ not ‘Leading’ shot blocker. Would you let that verbal slip pass in Quiz Bowl? I think not!!! If I played in the Midget League I’d lead the World I’m blocked shots. Doesn’t make me the best!
