Teams don't want to play defense for 30 minutes of the game. You cant keep taking the first shot you get or you will end up playing defense for 55 seconds out of every minute. Open transition layup, sure. But you cant just jack up the first shot you get.

Which makes me think.. could Creighton potentially upset them? They can shoot the ball and have played in a tough Big East all season. It is March after all! Thoughts?

UVA's defense is legit, having watched them all year in the ACC. Their packline defense is stifling, though I think they get away with too much hand checking. You can not speed them up, Tony Bennett has his team buying in once again. Their offense is better than giving credit for giving the slow pace of play. UVA is notoriously a bad March madness team, if there is a year for them this is their best shot. I'm not buying in on them though, strange thing they weren't even in the top 25 beginning of the year.

VA's defense is great but their offense always seems to shoot them in the foot in the tourney.

They remind me of 2014-15 Virginia. Incredibly talented on defense, but their lack of offense will once again be the end of them. I'd be surprised if they got to the elite 8.

How is Michigan state going to beat Virginia, when they won’t get by Duke?

Every year it's the same thing with UVA and their Pack Line defense. 

There's always a team that eventually can score on them and UVA can't do anything about it because they have no offensive studs to take over a game for them.

If you can't beat the UMBC's of the world because you're missing one guy you're a horrible team with a c.rap coach.

i am now totally convinced its RIGGED!!
watch the XAVIER GAME second half tryin to maintain a 18-22 lead
so they can easily to lose the spread at last minute and watch the last few seconds of this game its very obvious see it to yourself
and watch north carolina game how they try not to cover the spread
in the last seconds....its under control MONEY
never bet on a big spread very easy for everyone involved to
fix the game
