Virginia Tech, you are awesome with capital V baby!!!

It's awesome baby! It's unbelievable baby! Virginia Tech has beaten the Dookies! Oh the joy! The jubilation! A fair and square win, with the Dookies fumbling and crumbling like a house of cards at the end of the game. It's unbelievable! Thank you Seth Greenberg for a great victory against the most overhyped team in the history of team sports!

I am surprised Vitale did not cry because his Dookies lost :-)

Poor Virginia Tech, history repeating

Ouch for the Hokies fans. We hope the Selection Committee takes into account the fact that they unfairly snubbed VaTech last year when they evaluate the bubble teams and put some other "designer" slugfest team from the Big10 instead of the deserving Virginia Tech.

They played like an NCAA tourney team, they fought UNC to the last 5 seconds, and once again, they were defeated by Psycho-T, this time both on defense with a stop and on the free throw line.

Despite the absence of Ty Lawson, UNC managed to squeak a tough win against the desperate for a "W" Hokies. Even with Lawson, the Hokies match up real well with UNC and give them headaches, so when factoring that in, it makes the UNC victory better than one might think just by looking at the records and the polls.

This game was more evidence why UNC needs Marcus Ginyard, because neither Green nor Ellington were able to limit (let alone shutdown) scoring machine AD Vassalo. And a series of events led to Justin Watts seeing a few minutes of play, a player that was buried in the rotation behind Ellington, Green, Ginyard, and Graves!

We close by saying that Virginia Tech deserves to be one of the at-large teams and it should certainly be picked ahead of those ugly Big-10 teams whose only claim to fame is beating up on each other on 39-38 final scores.

If you are to pick the best 34 teams, Virginia Tech depends to be in the field of 65.

North Carolina at Virginia Tech

This was a lose-lose game for Duke haters. On one hand, you wanted Virginia Tech to get a high-profile win after it was robbed of a fair chance of beating Duke last week. On the other hand, you don't want Duke to win the ACC regular season, so UNC had to win to ensure a tie in the worse case scenario.

Ultimately, the game was decided by the players, not the zebras, and UNC's talent and numbers out-lasted the Hokies and got a tough road win. Tough because Virginia Tech was always a three-pointer away from making it a 50-50 game. But UNC managed to survive the pressure and not melt down this time and get a solid road win.

There are two things that we noticed during the ACC conference season that should encourage UNC fans:

1) Wayne Ellington grew some "onions". He's always been a gifted shooter and scorer, but beyond shooting, he has been a net-negative, especially when not having someone like Marcus Ginyard to save the day on defense. However, in the last few games, Ellington has been (relatively) tough both on the boards and on defense, playing like he wants to have a career in the NBA

2) Ty Lawson has developed a killer instinct. The most obvious display of this is how he dismantled the Dookies in the second half, and that alone, is enough for us to give him the ACC player of the year award :-) Thank you Ty!!!

The Zebras hand the Dookies yet another win

I'm sure you all heard by now the buzz of yet another game "given" to the Dookies by the Zebras. Call after call during the crucial part of the game went in the Dookies favor, while the Pope of College Hoops was about to crack his players melons open with a chair. Classy guy! But it's okay, because he prays before every game ;-)

If you think I'm imaging things because I don't like the Pukies, think again! March-to-Madness has assembled evidence that shows a Dookie travel three times in a single possession and get no call!

No more undefeated college hoops teams!

It looks like luck has finally smiled at Virginia Tech and Seth Greenberg. After having so many "almost won" moments in high profile games, they manage to de-throne and de-flower the only remaining undefeated college hoops team!

A late comeback by Wake Forest was the proverbial "too little, too late", and the Hokies (DO NOT?) storm the court as they get a very big win - dethroning the #1 team in the country!
