There are people out there this morning , who said VT would not make NCAA tournament . Thankful for the opportunity to have coached them up.

Kinda takes away the "tired " argument too. Kids at this age can play all day. FTR, I was pulling for Duke. But glad to see Aluma play well for Tech.

If they hadn't won the tournament, they probably wouldn't have. But, congratulations to them. I think they've finally got the coach they needed.

Sometimes I forget that certain posters like VT more than they do LU.

Well, at least certain posters do post, which is more than can be said about many members of this board.

“Ballfan” would really be a more accurate moniker as well

I think bracket shows had VT lost to Duke, they wouldn’t be in.

Love me some Mike Young. Hate me some VT. So, I’m torn. They’re hot, so maybe they give Texas a run.

How so? They went from Out to In with a superb ACC Tournament. What seeding should they have gotten?

I get the ACC fixation of the east coast contingent, but did any of you watch any of the SEC final? If you did, you probably recognized some familiar faces outside the A&M huddles.

VT should have been a single digit seed. Also VT should have never been a bubble or an out team. At end of season VT was playing about as good as ANY team in the country and better than most.

As good as VT is I'm questioning why they are even playing the tournament. Just end it and declare them National Champions.

What teams are seeded above then you feel should not be?

I don't have time to list them all, but probably every team seeded 5-10, and maybe some 4 seeds.

And this is where your credibility issues begin. You finally make a point but can’t back it up. You say roughly 25 teams are rated above VT and should not be but cannot name them or even make a case.

Finishing strong can be a factor in seeding, but it is primarily based on your overall resume, and I think at best they might have deserved an 8. I do think it's safe to say that Chris Beard is not happy with the matchup.

If I had time to go through the complete bracket, I could name them, BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME.

Then why are you so confident that VT should be ranked higher if you don’t know who was ranked in front of them :dontgetit :dontgetit
If you’re gonna make a statement it’s a really good idea to have a reason why other than “Cause I said so”.

Don’t worry guys, at least he has enough time to blurt out whatever opinion he has on anything. He just doesn’t have the time to think about why he has the opinion he holds.
