That was a hard-nosed emotional game last night. Congrats to the Hawks for winning on the road on a big stage. I thought the Virginia fans that came to our board were classy and that their program is on the rise. That should be a very good team next year and I'll be watching them play at every opportunity.
Agreed. Tony Bennett is a great coach. In that light, I was very, very surprised to see their players lay down on D towards the end when Iowa made their run, leading to an uncontested "dagger" trey. Dakich also commented on it. That tape will haunt them the whole offseason, but hopefully will lead to growth.
They got worn down by Iowa, Bennett said as much in his press conference.
Dolphin and Bobby Hanson mentioned that Harris is quite the trashtalker, which I didn't really see when I switched to watching it on TV. But they claimed he was getting mouthy with our bench

I have been wondering for some time who the mobster sitting on the bench behind Fran was.

he replaced ryan bowen when bowen went back to the nba.

We must have been watching a completely different game last night then. What I saw was an immature freshman who, every time he hit a 3 in the first half, was mouthing off at the Iowa players and coaches on our bench. I also saw a guy that was more interested in playing to the crowd than playing a basketball game. I saw a guy who tomahawk'd McCabe and then gave a little extra shove for good measure.
Perhaps you have a different idea of how the game should be played than I do, but that bush-league crap is for posers. The Hawks let the scoreboard do the talking and showed the determination and mental toughness it takes to win a game on the road against a top half ACC team. That Anderson guy would do well to do the same going forward.
Compared to the likes of Sparty's Nix and a few other thugs at MSU and in the B1G... Anderson is a boy scout. I liked his game last night and while I do think he maybe crossed the line a few times - I have to say if he was wearing black and gold no one here would be bashing him.
The TV announcers mentioned this twice (at least), too.Dolphin and Bobby Hanson mentioned that Harris is quite the trashtalker, which I didn't really see when I switched to watching it on TV. But they claimed he was getting mouthy with our bench
Since the Hawks won, I'll say this:When you consider how one-sided the officiating was, that really was best game the Hawks have played this season.
You mess around with Fran and eibert you end up in the river wearing cement shoes
