Deja u-va Part 2

This uva season is resembling the Hokies’ season of 2 years ago more and more. A bubble team beats a highly ranked duke team at home – check x 2. They then lose 2 straight games to follow – check x 2. Tech’s bubble burst 2 years ago despite 2 wins in the ACC Tourney, and you have to think uva is staring down a similar fate with a home game vs maryland to close the regular season and then the ACC-T. uva’s RPI was in the 60s already (just like VT’s was) and is sure to drop.

Oh, and Michael Snaer is the most clutch player in basketball, the anti-Lebron.

Niemo is a member of the VT Class of '98. Attended every home basketball game during his 4 years at VT after missing the first home game. Has attended 122 straight VT football home games (every game since '94), eclipsing the 100 mark in September of '09. During the final home basketball game of his senior year, he was brought onto the court and was awarded 2 passes to the Atlantic 10 Basketball Tournament in Philly during a timeout. The Hokie Bird made the award on behalf of Athletic Director Jim Weaver. Niemo was known to be in the front row of every home game with his familiar red afro hairdo. Niemo currently lives in DC and speaks the Hokie gospel as often as possible. He watches over 50% of all ACC games, making him one of the most knowledgeable experts on ACC basketball.

    very possible that VT meets the hoos in the ACCT

      Would love to knock them off but they’ve really kind of handed it to us the previous 2 meetings. They’re a good team and are going to be even more scary next year……although, I don’t think they have a resume that justifies them getting an NCAA bid.

    Hoos are going to be a force in the NIT… JPJ gonna be rockin!!

    Seeing UVA do nearly the exact same thing we did two years ago to miss the tournament just warms my heart. The Maryland game is a must win for them, IMO. It is for Maryland too. Should be a good one.
