Sounds about right. Survive and advance. That’s the name of the game.

One of their top players broke his hand in practice yesterday.

[Protes]

Holy crap!!!!!!!

 

[DruidTM]

Virginia throws away a win

Holllleee Shit

 

[Pitt8189]

Uh call timeout????

 

[DruidTM]

Lol

That’s the funniest damn thing I’ve ever seen

 

[DruidTM]

Virginia literally threw their win away

Holeee Christ

That’s going to be shown for decades

 

[Pittguy93]

It seems like every other year Virginia sheets the bed.

 

[CJsE]

Well at least they're not in trouble anymore.

 

[pittizit]

See ya Wahoos…

 

[Pitt8189]

Good grief hope he lives this down

 

[pittbb80]

March madness off to a Great start

 

[Ski11585]

Wait, how could the best coach in all of basketball at any level lose to Furman?

Paging @Sean Miller Fan

Almost as bad as Nasir Robinson. Almost.

March madness off to a Great start

I don't even do brackets anymore. Too difficult to pick. But it's almost more fun as you get to root for these upsets.

Correction-WAS in trouble.

I love it. Welcome to March. Where money talks and bull$hit walks.

Steady 5 year starter at PG finishes his career by panicking and throwing the game away. Wow.

And to think I picked UVA to win a couple in this tourney BECAUSE of Clark--and Tony B of course.

 

[nycpanther98]

March Madness!

 

[Pitt2006]

At least they got a natty the year after the 16 seed beat them. I’d take that. Very few teams don’t bow out early once in a while.

It’s worse than Nasir

Furman hasn’t even been to the tournament since 1980

And they aren’t going to be good going forward

 

[Pittnerski]

That Natty understandably bought Bennett a lifetime contract, but come on man… 3 / 6 years lose to mid majors in the first round. First 1 seed to lose to a 16.

Wonder what the temperature of the UVA fans are right now.

 

[DruidTM]

It’s the way they lost

That play was unbelievable

 

[Blair_45]

Hope that doesn’t effect Pitt’s NET Rankings since they beat Virginia. So glad we don’t have to talk about that anymore at least for this season lol.

That style works in the tourney if you have 3 NBA players on your team. But will often make u lose a one off

I get the thought but if you told me my team would win the conference regular season every year, make the tournament every year, and win a national championship…sign me up!

 

[SteelCityChamps]

Good thing Tony Bennett won his natty already because he now has multiple duds in March.

Who we lost to wasn't worse. How we lost was.

 

[DruidTM]

Ehhhh I’m not sure about that. No way should Virginia have lost that way… the wasn’t a UVA player anywhere in sight where he threw that. He just shit his pants and panicked.

Then… Furman hits a 3? That’s insanity inducing for both fans and team …

If you wrote that ending Hollywood would say it was too unbelievable

 

[303vND]

Yep...agree!

They are lucky as hell to have him there. Most years, they sure as hell aren't going to beat many top 50 P6 teams by having better players.

Bennett is Dixon with a Natty

I picked Furman. All-time blunder by Clark.

Agree, this one was worse. UVA went from up 2 to down 1 on that play. Pitt was tied and would have gone to overtime without the foul. And it was a cheap foul at that.

Gilbert Brown should’ve had 3 tries from the line. Clearly fouled in the act of shooting.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

That ending is up there with other monster choke jobs. Wow.
Did he think the clock was running out?

 

[DruidTM]

Had he held the ball …. I mean…. Everything went wrong from a UVA perspective…

The kid who hit the 3 isn’t typically a good 3 shooter…

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

I didn't see it . . . still haven't seen a replay . . . but from the way it's been described, it has to be the biggest blunder since Chris Webber called time out.

Can't agree. At worst, our game should have been going to OT. Nasir's foul was inexplicable - 80' from the basket with no time left. It all but guaranteed the loss. As bad as Clark's turnover was, I sort of understand what he was trying to do. It was a horrible play still, yes; but Furman still had to hit that shot. And UVA still had some time left for a last shot.

The fact that our game would have gone to OT, as the best case scenario for Pitt, is why this one was worse. Best case for UVA is they win without the bad play. But I guess we are just splitting hairs here, they were both bad plays.

Don't look now, or wait, look, Princeton - 56, Arizona - 55, with 1:37 to go.
