Both Bama and Grand Canyon are sloppy, ragged, childishly wild on court. All they do is run wild

Trimble may ne required to shut down Sears. That could key to the game.
We play our game the way we are able and we win the next game. Question is will we play to our potential?
Bama is gonna be their usual good 3pt shooting team on Thursday.
UNC is going to have to play the toughest possible opponent in every round it seems.

If Alabama shoots like they are capable of, they could do exactly what Clemson did to us in Chapel Hill.
GC has terrible basketball IQ. They demonstrated that all game. Did you see the long 2 one of their guards just took.
GCU didn't seem to make a 3 all game. They lived at the free throw line. Yet in crucial moments they kept settling for 3s, or in that case a long 2.
Priceless^^^... and sadly, wouldn't surprise me if literally true.
I utterly despise that classless jackass and his sh** program and makes me sick to my stomach that we have to dirty ourselves by playing them.
FYI- I just enrolled at Grand Canyon online. I’m due to graduate this coming Friday.
If bama plays like that against us we’ll be just fine. If they have their way from deep then it could get crazy.
Oh well. One of the two teams I didn’t want to face. Them and Auburn. I just don’t want to hear all their fans roar their stupid heads.
Their starting PF was lost in the first half to a head injury. Bet he is fine on Thursday.
Subplot for our sweet sixteen game: Jarin Stevenson.
Chapel Hill native whose mom played for UNC hoops, chose to bypass UNC and reclass to be Bama's back up PF.

A&M with 22 free throws in the first half.
Holy cow. They don't have Tyler Hansbrough out there.

and only made 11. I know I am biased, but wow is there some undisciplined basketball, run and gun, jack it up, lazy defense. Which is fine if you are hot, but gets you beat when you aren't. I assume UConn played well because as much as I hate to say it, they are disciplined, smart, work hard on both ends.
I get what you are saying but when games are called this way UNC has the advantage. Give Bacot and Ingram 8 fouls and our odds go up.
I still wonder if we could have jumped Houston to get the 1 seed in the South if we had won the ACC Tourney.
Probably not the way the ACC gets disrespected.

I disagree. As I have said, I'm glad we have some tough-guys, but bama's only defense is constant hacking.
To be fair, Bama’s intensity was high this game. I’m not overly concerned unless they start lighting it up from 3. I just feel better when Bacot isn’t getting hit with touch fouls because he is irreplaceable on our roster.
Houston trying to choke this away.
Former VT player Radford is suddenly red hot shooting for A&M

13 point lead cut to 3. 40 something seconds left. Key Houston player fouled out and was a great FT shooter.
Houston just went 1-2 at the FT line.

Per the power rankings for the tournament by Bleacher Report there are 14 teams left of the top 18 teams. Only uk, Kansas, Auburn and Baylor are out of their top 18 rankings. 4 ACC Teams are left and the 2 teams outside of the top 18 are Clemson at 34 and Moo u at 47. Strong indictment for a Conference that is always so down. It also shows that most of the top teams are still left. UNC had a strong showing in the second round but so did UConn, Purdue, dook and Gonzaga. I hope we destroy Alabama on Thursday! I cannot stand Oats, Sears, Nelson (and his wanna be porno mustache)or anyone on that team and that especially goes for Jarin Stevenson. I couldn’t stand when we lost to them last year in 3 OT’s (we gave that game away).
That is if Houston holds on with the rankings. Man I thought this game was over! Lol
They just Sampson doesn't like to foul when he's up 3.
If this goes to OT Houston has 3 other starters with 4 fouls beyond Cryer who already fouled out.

1.2 secs left, Houston ball.
Just foul them on the inbound Sampson. Don't let them even shoot another 3.

Massive choke job. No way Houston wins this in OT.
Can't believe people still don't believe in fouling up 3.
