How does UVA play whole halves

[gary2]

With only 4 fouls?

 

[Protes]

And how do they not foul instead of letting NC State get off a 3 to tie the game???

WTF Bennett had 3 fouls to give and didn’t use any. NC State hits a miracle buzzer beater to send the game to OT.

Also, how can they possibly be this bad at foul shooting? They are like 355th in the country.

It was simply ridiculous that they didn't foul.

 

[Protes]

Welp, UNC better win tomorrow or we are definitely out of NCAAT.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Are we ahead of UVA now? UVA vs NC ST = 0-2; vs Pitt 0-1. Pitt vs NC ST 2-0; vs UVA 1-0. Done deal

Virginia SHOULD HAVE just played themselves out of the tourney. But NET is truly stupid!

We need UNC to blow NCState out tomorrow night by 20+

It's the damnedest thing.

The guards who handle the rock, nor the bigs can shoot FTs. McNeely, who choked at the line tonight is probably the best. Pretty sure he's over 80%, but the other guys that can shoot FTs can't do anything to get to the line.

Very limited team and frustrating to watch. Easy to pull for though, because they do battle almost every night out.

Thats coaching malpractice by Bennett. So bad. You have three fouls to use.

Virginia's NET is bad.

It will be high 50s tomorrow.

UVA is 1-2 vs NC STATE
UVA was 2-0 vs Syracuse and 1-0 vs Clemson. (road win)

They have OOC wins vs Texas A&M and Florida.

If UVA doesn't make the field, Duke is probably the only team in the field of 68 that Pitt has beaten all year. Am I missing another?

This is what he said about it after the game:

"We couldn't foul him in the backcourt. They got momentum because we missed the free throw and they were coming down, and once they got down we did not want to foul in the act of shooting. We just were worried about that."

Did he not realize that he could foul 3 times in the backcourt without sending NC state to the line? It would be difficult to find a worse coaching decision.

Depends on what we couldn't foul him in the backcourt is actually describing.

Right. I took it to mean they wanted to but couldn’t execute it.

Tony Bennett isn’t a guy who’s going to lose the intelligence and strategy battle in many games.

Did you watch that sequence? UVA had a player running beside the NC State guy the entire time he dribbled down the court, and he could have committed a foul at any time. There is no reason not to foul him. Bennett just blew it - he lost that battle in this game.
