For those of you in Blacksburg or looking to make a last minute road trip, Coach Buzz is hosting a viewing party with the team in Cassell tonight with the doors opening at 5pm. I can't figure out how to embed the tweet so here's a LINK. Go Hokies!

Got you.
Thank you FAM!
Let's get fucked up
Speaking of selection Sunday, who's spot did Davidson just take?
I'm thinking Arizona St or Oklahoma, possibly FSU
Hopefully ND
Hit it on the head.
Louisville most likely
Both ND and Louisville
Can we get at least 2 wins to make it into the Sweet 16? Please!?Edited because I got carried away, so - Can we get at least 1 win and play hard all the way? Please!?
I'll settle for a win. Asking for at least two is pretty aggressive. Making the tournament after losing our two best players from last season and starting conference play so weakly is already quite an accomplishment.
Fair enough. I got carried away :)
That's a tall task. It would be unlikely they would put us in the same region as UVA as an 8/9 seed.
Kansas and Villanova would bury us I think. Maybe a fighters chance against Xavier.
Joe Lunardi's Final Predictions
#8 VT vs #9 Rhode Island in Pittsburgh (Villanova's East Regional).
I like that potential Alabama UVA second round game.
I don't like Alabama in the second round....
Very cool.
Note that they changed the format to announce all the teams that are in the tournament up front - in ALPHABETICAL ORDER!
Then they'll go through the seeding.
smh why does the committee hate VT so much?
Nah, they just want to build up the anticipation...
I'm hoping Marshall and Virginia Tech end up in the same city. My friends and I have already made up our mind that if Marshall is playing in Detroit, Nashville, Charlotte, or Pittsburgh, we're all going. I'd love to see the Hokies play as well.
Any video stream from cassell? Sure buzz will make a speech before hand?
For anyone curious: they live streamed it on the VT basketball instagram account. It's still up.
Greg Gumbel is so awkward in front an audience hahah.
This show is absolute trash.
How is this in TBS?? This is atrocious. Plus the sound is off.
Garbage
NO NOTRE DAME. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Suck it ND!!!
Glad our loss to Notre Dame went to a good cause.
Excited for Oklahoma to lose on the first day.
No Lousiville either, but somehow Syracuse got in.
Hahahaha fuck Matt Farrell. Happy senior year, bitch.
Man this production is the worst thing I have ever seen. The Washington Post had a great article the other about this.
And the live studio audience doesn't even sound like they are basketball fans
WE DANCING
and that's all the at large bids (pause) from over here!
If they're going to do this stupid alphabetical order reveal could they at least pull out the last four in and do those last? They've somehow managed to put together the least suspenseful way of presenting the field.
The last 4 in/out was almost an afterthought
Radford stuck in Dayton, and it won't be for a chance to play against UVA.
Did the show disappear?
I'm getting nothing.
Edit: nevermind. Reloaded after the crash.
UVA having to go through Arizona or Kentucky won't be a cakewalk.
Oh god we have to stop Sexton, and if we do we get to get blitzed by Villanova.
Bama....
Welp.
Can't say I feel too great about beating Bama and then Nova to make it out of the first weekend.
Both bad matchups for us
Bama isn't a horrible matchup because they go as Sexton goes. I think Devin Wilson can stay in front of him.
Bah, don't think that way!
Think of it as an NRV brawl in the round of 32, VT vs Radford!
The entire NRV would probably burn down over that one, though. o.o;;;
Alabama plays the kind of fast break ball we do. If we shut down Sexton (A big ask) we win by double digits.
WE GOT BAMY! WE GOT BAMY!
Throw Devin Wilson on Collin Sexton & call it a day. Hopefully we can slow down Bama, they've been hot lately
It's amazing how quick they went from looking bad to being hot. That's a team that needed a buzzer beater scoop shot against A&M or they're not even in the field.
Bama is a decent matchup they are athletic but rely wayyyy to much on Sexton. Shut him down and a easy win we will have. Villanova on the other hand.....
No, good matchup. Alabama is a horrible 3 point shooting team and a bad free throw shooting team. Focus on sexton and we win this game.
Y'all, Amtrak from RVA or DC is cheap as hell to get to Pittsburgh. Just saying.
Notre Dame got knocked out by the Davidson win.
"Even with Bonzi".
Syracuse was the last team in.
Love it.
