A clear-throated Marv Albert always sounds fantastic.
 
A frog-throated, phlegm-clogged Marv Albert not so much.

Well, this has certainly been a fun game to watch.

How does everybody like Albany's uniforms?
 
Awful. They look like the Swiss Guard of Vatican City.

HORRIBLE call against MSM, as Hooley gets trapped in the corner and the defender grazes him. Granted the defender didn't have to keep advancing on him, but it was still a bullshit call.
 
Albany up by 3 with 2:30 left.
 
EDIT - Ugh. Bad turnover by Norfleet with 1:45 left.

And that'll do it. 5-pt Albany lead, 2.5 secs left, and they're heading to the line.
 
Have fun against the Gators.
 
Helluva comeback by the Mount after being down 19-2 to start the game.

Heading to OT. And now Marble's hurt after landing on a Vol's foot while defending the final shot. Huge loss for the Hawkeyes if he's done.

I'm trying to decide which team is a better matchup for Umass, but I really can't decide
 
I think we're going to get killed by either one of these teams, although Iowa definitely has Chaz disease: Shooting threes early in the possession without any rebounders underneath when they really don't even need a fucking three.

well they got Tennessee from the looks of it. It would be at least nice if Umass makes a game of it

right here
yeah, color me pleasantly surprised. If I read right he has 2 verbals to Marquette that haven't signed LOI yet. Be interesting to see what happens to them. Knowing absolutely nothing about them I feel comfortable saying they could probably come to Blacksburg and immediately earn playing time.
 
He's going to have to replace Beamer soon (please?) and this hire is a pretty decent way to make me trust him.
 
Time will tell I suppose (doesn't it always?). But it would be nice to see meaningful basketball back in the Cassell. It's a great place to watch a game.
