When we beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, how many minutes will it take for a debate to start on the football board about dropping to FCS?

Over under is 10 minutes.
Negative nine days. That thread would start the night that we beat the Hoos.

Virginia was No. 14 last time we kicked their ass at Virginia and Jeff Boals was a player in the game.

That’s the way it is, hype 24/7. Lots of bandwidth, lots of conjecture.

For those interested, the TV broadcast team is Carter Blackburn and Debbie Antonelli with Dana Jacobson on the sidelines.

If Virginia is exposed and can't play...who do you think they will put in their place? Or would we get a bye?

Just a thought...

We get an awful draw based on matchups and now we get the absolute worst location. Sure play the games 1.5 hours away in Indy then put is in the ONE location refusing to sell any tickets or allow spectators beyond family.

There will be no tickets available. Players, coaches, trainers, officials and media count in that 500 number. So more like 350-400 butts in seats.

Six months ago, we didn't even know if there would be a March Madness in 2021. I'm just trying to look at the glass half-full. I agree it's a bummer, but we are in the dance. Just going to have to roll with the punches and be ready to play against UVA.

If Virginia has to leave tournament prior to Tuesday at 6pm, then one of the “First Four Teams Out” are still under covid protocol and will be put into the tournament. I believe they are Louisville, St Louis, Colorado State and Ole Miss

After 6pm Tuesday, Virginia can play as long as they have at least 5 guys that have met covid requirements. If they can’t play, Ohio would advance.

Not true - we beat them more recently - Feb 26th, 2003 -- 78-72 at the convo

Impossible to fly under the radar when you have either the #1 or #2 point guard in the country who the national media has absolutely fallen in love. Success breeds attention. It's what we've always wanted for this program.

Actually true, No. 14 ranked but “at Virginia” is key. Virginia was 6-10 in the ACC and lost 7 straight the year we beat them in Athens.
