Championship Day Open Thread
Surprised nobody had one of these going yet.
Right now, Parker is putting on a show, and is carrying Duke with a 1 point lead over Virginia with under 9 to play.
VCU is currently leading St. Joseph's with about 10 to go. This is a big game for bubble teams.
And the other current Championship game on right now is Louisiana-Lafayette against Georgia State for the Sun Belt Title.
The afternoon games feature the #1 overall team going against the preseason #1 team; Florida vs Kentucky.
And then this game will be featured in it's own open thread: Michigan vs Staee.
Go Blue and Happy TV Watching today!
I've been flipping back and forth between VCU vs. St. Joes and dook vs. Virginia. Both of the acc schools look good. VCU plays good defense, terrible at offense in the half court.
Yeah this ACC game is a good one so far. Both teams playing at high level on both ends of the floor.
And Parker is a beast. Such a great athlete.
The thought of Dick Vitale ejaculating is the grossest thing I've ever thought about. Thanks
St. Joes just went up 54-52 just over 3 to play.
Virginia is up 59-53 with about 3 and a half to play
I think I'd rather beat State than be a 1-seed. I can already hear State fans claiming (after a W) that the previous two games didn't count because they were so injured and they're the real Big Ten champs. Just need to shut them up please
The fact that we may or may not already been locked in as a 1 does not diminish the need to shut up those mouth breathers
Good distance on that ejaculation.
but I would be so stressed out watching this if Michigan was in it. Nice to just be an observer
really nervous about the game M game today.
The UVA guy literally did not touch him
UVA lucky this game isn't closer because they have been awful shooting FT's.
St. Joseph's holds on to beat VCU.
UVA is now the ACC Regular Season and Tournament Champions.
Interesting note on teams who won their conference tournaments from the "BCS" Conferences:
ACC: Virginia
Big East: Providence
Big-12: Iowa State
Pac-12: UCLA
Not the expected names to see as Tournament Champs. In the games to be played, it's a little more of the norm:
Big-10: Michigan or MSU
SEC: Florida or Kentucky
goes down...sounding more and more like we get the final 1 seed regardless
Beat State for a 3rd straight time!!
Sparty's going to break the hype/accomplishment scale if we win today.
fuck staee
Please oh please let us kick some sparty ass today. Let there be no doubt we are the better team!
WIN THE GAME!
There were moments in the ACC Chamionship Game where I was pretty sure that Dick Vitale had climaxed and would need to change at the next media break, and admittedly, there was some worry about what might happen if Jabari Parker made another stylish basket. The last thing you need if you're ESPN is for one of your analysts to be worn out and unable to continue the broadcast like that.
Do you guys remember from 1998 to 2009 when today just sucked cause we knew we had zero chance of getting a bid? Much less debating weather we'll get a one or two seed?
Me either.
