Virginia Tech vs. Virginia

[Class71]

Virginia is rattled and the hokies are up by 8 with 2 minutes to go. Hokies hitting 3's and playing D.

Buzzard vs Shayok

Tech almost blew it but held on for the big W.  Congrats to those guys on the upset.

Bert 2-0 in the ACC.  Doing it with paint touches and small ball in his Year 2.

One senior (who can't play) on the roster, maybe his best player out for the season. He's got next to nothing - but the man can coach.

Superbar?

Tony Bennett gave a ton of appreciation and respect to Buzz in postgame.  Said that they (UV) got exposed badly and were unable to adjust.  From one of the top defensive coaches in the game, that's a huge coaching compliment to Buzz.

My question is if Virginia Tech played Marquette tomorrow, on a neutral court, who wins?  They have a ton of toughness and physicality, and have a relentless no-quit attitude.  With several games this year (all losses) where Marquette clearly quit for long durations of the games, I would (unfortunately) think that VT would beat us.  But I have no clue. 

VT has now defeated NC State and Virginia in back-to-back games.  Very impressive.

? Really?
Let's just say I wouldn't put my $ on MU.

Good for Buzz.  There are days the man can coach, and days he doesn't bother to show up.  I watched them the other day at home against West Virginia and it was amazingly awful.  Reminded me of his last year at MU as they lost by 25 and he was AOL after the game.

Tonight, they beat UVa.  Almost beat them last year, too. 

[We R Final Four]

He was AOL checking emails after the game?

[77ncaachamps]

I saw the score and went to ESPN to check out the pictures, looking for some Buzz freakouts.

I only found one Buzz pic but I also found this one (see attached).

#4 team.

At home.

An upset win.

Tons of empty seats.

Agreed 100%

Lie. MU never lost by 20 in Buzz's last year, let alone 25.

Something Bert could not do while at the helm of Marquette...

Virginia Tech just upset Virginia w-o Chris Clarke or Ahmed Hill. Only a matter of time before Buzz Williams has Hokies in top half of ACC.

I have no idea what being "America On Line" after the game means, but as Lenny said they never lost by 25 his last year.

This has been an odd criticism of yours since he stood up that goofball Marquette alum Jim Hague called him "Bonehead Buzz" back after a 2011 game at Seton Hall and made him 75 minutes after the game.

I said it then, and I will say it now.  I don't care.

I remember this post well.  He also had this part ...

There was another problem with Williams' selfishness Saturday night. Apparently, there was a recruit, a good-looking 6-foot-9 player who sat patiently outside the Marquette locker room, waiting for Bonehead Buzz to rear his bald head. Gee, think there's a chance this kid now signs with Marquette after waiting that long?

That was Philip Nolan.  I believe he wanted to come to MU but Buzz did not want him.

Probably for good reason.  Nolan hasn't been very good at UConn.  Only playing 6 mpg as a senior.

The local kid Buzz screwed up on was LaChance.

If I remember, Nolan was a real doubt to qualify at the time as well.
