NC State hit triple digits and actually played some defense on occasion, was against a loving dreadful VMI team so not much more to say about it but showing some effort is a welcome change from most of the Gottfried years.

UVA was terrible against UNC-G but played good defense and Kyle Guy is set for a big year.

Wake just lost their opener to Georgia Southern, 85-83.

Jesus Christ our frontcourt got gutted worse than I could ever imagine.

On a purely pragmatic level, was happier to see Collins out of the ACC than just about any other player who could've gone.

On the other hand, a good Wake team probably means fewer Duke and UNC wins, so sad on that front.

Virginia wins 93-49, most points in a game by a Tony Bennett UVA team. Austin Peay terrible but Cavaliers are undeniably much more athletic across the board this year.

NC State will probably come back and beat this lovely Presbyterian team, but the blueprint is there for how pretty much every ACC team will just tear apart the Pack: beat the press, then just exploit the godawful halfcourt defense all day long.

Lots of semi-decent games today pretty much all day. There's even a couple on now.

edit: Virginia about to take on VCU in Richmond, wouldn't be at all surprised if they lost this one, it's the kind of game Bennett's teams often drop at the beginning of the year before the defense is 100% settled. winning it with any kind of comfort would be a really good sign, though.

Virginia pulled it out, really good game and one that should pay off in road ACC games. Kyle Guy proving capable of taking over games.

edit: also some absolutely ludicrous home cooking for VCU, specifically good prep for playing the big blues.

it's the damnedest thing. I thought Manning had them on track for bigger things. Any idea why they're so bad this year?

Lost a whole lot in the frontcourt, looks like they haven't caught up on defense in particular. Giving up high percentage shots and getting owned on the offensive glass is a tough combo to overcome.

Miami is tied at 19 with La Salle at the half, that’s pretty gross.

Time now though to watch Arizona obliterate NC State.

edit: DeAndre Ayton is like something you would build in a lab to dominate just about any physical contest. State’s keeping Trier at bay but Ayton isn’t playable.

Well, that wasn’t supposed to happen. Keatts definitely the new messiah now.

Can see why they pushed so hard to make sure Beverly got on the court, what a game. And I actually thought Yurtseven was decent for once tonight, he has an awful lot of Gottfried to unlearn but just maybe can do it.

edit: Villanova will be something else entirely. And really if Arizona has even a half-decent perimeter day, they win this easily.

Ugh forgot this is 8 teams, could very easily see State losing to SMU or UNI in the semis. Would still be s successful weekend.

Virginia is bossing a decent Vandy team so far, will see if what happens once the Cavaliers go their customary ten bucketless minutes.

Meanwhile State turns around and loses to a UNI team they are probably better than. Would’ve been nice to get that Villanova game but hard to complain after yesterday.

Virginia plays at WVU today, they'll probably lose but important to go on the road against a high-tempo team before ACC play kicks in. Mountaineers might be as good as anyone in the ACC anyway, short of Duke.


edit: Villanova looking really good against Gonzaga, probably the best team they'll play until the NCAAs. Xavier and Seton Hall looking like the only Big East threats so far.

Virginia takes the expected L but kept it close till the very end. Gonna have to get more from the players around Kyle Guy to win games like this, but there aren't many teams that will push UVA this hard.
