Nice run Tech but since you lost it's back to screw you guys.

These refs screwed up a great game. Guy slipped on his own but he got rewarded free throws.

Then Guy hacks Moretti but the refs take a 5-minute review with disputable evidence and give the ball to Virginia. I guess the storyline was too good to pass up.

Virginia has gotten very lucky all tournament

Tough to loose a natty and then have to head back to Lubbock, TX....Talk about salt in the wound

But they will be greeted by burning cars at the airport

Somebody missed out on a $300k payday.

Healthy Owens and I don't think the outcome is the same. But not gonna lie....I like this outcome.

Culver ended up 5 for 22, 0-6 on threes. Hard to overcome that.

Not far off...all the police not already on patrol today were called in according to a friend of mine.

Tony Bennett with a master class coaching job. He attacked the Tech defense better than anyone has this season. UVA showed that there is a way to attack the Tech defense and be efficient. Tony Bennett is a super coach and an even better gentleman.

Really think he should stay one more year but he probably won’t.

Those two guards for Virginia are tough to handle and Hunter played awesome. As ineffective as Culver and a Mooney were it was amazing Tech took it to overtime. Owens being gimpy might’ve been the difference.

Maybe you didn’t notice but tech hacks every ball handler on every possession and rarely get called for a reach in. Hard to argue they get screwed by refs.

They hand check with the best of them.

I agree with this and with the fact that UVA hacks and reaches in on every possession as well. This was being talked about all day long on sports talk radio. My point would be that if you are going to stop the game for 4 minutes to see if a ball went out after being touched by someone's fingernail, you should be able to say wouldn't have happened if the player hadn't been fouled.

Welp... time to short penicillin and go long on Naxolene...

That’s my problem with replay in basketball. Lots of times refs let contact go uncalled because they just give possession to the team and move on. But if replay shows otherwise, you can’t go back and call the foul. Exactly what
Happened tonight. They were not calling the foul because they want to give tech the benefit of the fast break, but it backfires and ultimately screws tech.

The title trophy is kind of sad. Be great to have one but Yankees got a nicer trophy when they beat the Bad News Bears.
