I understand if people are scared away from UVA and Tony Bennett because of the tourney history, but I have no idea why those same people would run toward Sean Miller.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

If UVA ends up playing Cincy, that's gonna be some ugly basketball.
#1 kenpom D vs. #2 kenpom D. Neither team great offensively. Both are physical teams.
Go Hoos!
Cats are at full strength. Ayton is no longer a freshman. No one can stop him. Not even Virginia. Plus, Boise is in their Time Zone, a factor which should never be ignored.
I know Ayton is a freak, but I'm not totally sold on Arizona. They haven't played anyone very good in a while, and when they did, they had some bad losses. I think UVA would win comfortably should it get to that point.
It would be the most motivated Bennett has ever been. Punks like the Miller brothers and Chris Mack dilute the Packline brand by trying to imitate the Bennetts' defense. But the Packline is a family recipe, and only the Bennetts know the secret ingredients to build it. When family honor is at stake, you bet on that team.
Heh. I knew when I wrote that, someone would say something, impervious to the obvious. Just to clarify, I was only referring to the first weekend.
And again to state the obvious, in Atlanta, if they both get there, Virginia will have the Time Zone advantage. Unless...Arizona goes straight to Atlanta; in that case they should be diurnally adjusted.
Wow. Until your comment, I hadn't realized the slim postseason history of the coaches of the top 4 teams in this region. Rick Barnes is the only coach among them with a Final Four (Texas in 2003), and now he coaches Tennessee, which has never been. (Kind of like Jim Larraņaga with 6-seed Miami.)
Go Ramblers!
