Virginia Tech @ Maryland Live Game Chat

BCO game thoughts:

From BCO Pix2

pregame .. Terps in the fugly Yeller Unis, VT road maroon unis ... looks like Redskins colors, bad juju for this Hokie.
Ex Deac's coach Dave Odom, the Raycom analyst said VT may not win ANOTHER ACC game. What?!? He must be confusing VT with the other ACC school in Va. Dave, you asshat, your son is a bench coach for the Hokies. Moron, no wonder he never won it all with Tim Duncan leading his team.

1st half
18:35 always bad when Neal makes a jumper
Nice matchup defense by the Terps early
Jeff Allen with a stupid foul ... AGAIN, less than 3 mins into the game.
My 17 month old is more entertaining than the Hokies right now.
Down 7 early, watch Maryland bomb 3's all day, THE worst 3pt shooting team in the ACC
why are the Hokies fool bench players dancing?
Matching Neal, Witcher with a back down in the lane, turn around J, he's NEVER done that, then a DUNK!
Nice layup to the left by Delaney, he wants 1st team All ACC
Ugghh, 4/8 for 3 bombs and they are a bad shooting team, 304th in D1 3pt % ... not today
BCO wonders how many Fbombs Gary has dropped so far, can't be too many, he hasn't sweated thru his suit yet.
foul, what foul ... here, have your eyeball back MD
Vasquez is NBA ready, his whining is top notch, he can't be more prepared than he is now
Halftime: 34 MD 29 VT
could have been worse VT looked bleh on O and D for a lot of the game.
Credit Gary's Williams and his gameplanning.
Seth needs to make sure the Hokies guard Milbourne and Vasquez, let Neal beat ya. lol.

2nd half
Cheap foul on Delaney, makeup for Vasquez, end of the half?
Vasquez with a walk, no call, layup.
AD missing a dunk, sigh.
Need Jeff Allen to dominate these small or slow forwards.
damn, did I just say let Neal beat Tech? 3 bomb, then Vasquez, what a shit, he's all douche trust that.
How come shitty 3pt shooting team bomb VT 3-4 times a year? 1 thing for Clemson to do it, but Maryland?
Not looking good for Monty, HG and whoever other BCO friends that are there to walk out happy today. G should be ecstatic.
VT really does have below avg ACC defense, that's not good for future games
Vasquez with the walk first, then fouled by Tech ... home job.
VT looks confused on O, still ... 13 mins to play.
Nice 3 pt play ... off the missed FT, rebound by JA. Tech down 6.
Sloppy play by both for a bit, til AD scores a 3 ball, VT down 3 .. 48-45.
Another 3 ball by the Terps, then another score by Milbourne + the foul. sigh 54-45, the run dint last long.
Delaney silent this half, did draw a foul but missed 1 of 2 FT's
Veteran move by AD to get a 4th foul on Vasquez, 8:32 left MD 7 pt lead
MD's D has been pretty damn good all game, mixing it up.
Thorns with a 3 ... nice, will be another 8 games before his next one. MD by 6.
Neal is a battler, he should be getting owned, gotta respect his hard work.
Jeff Allen fouled, no called, giving the little defenders leeway. A chump Terp gets a call seconds later for less contact.
Milbourne just HAMMER dunked Vassallo then posed. I would have floored him as he was going up.
Delaney keeps slipping, 4th time, what is up with that? Hurt, shitty shoes?
A cheap call on Jeff Allen, both were banging, guess home court gets the edge.
This game looks OVER, 13 pt lead with 4 mins left.
Jeff Allen shocks the world commits a bad foul, fouls out, then flips off the MD student section.
He'll get in trouble for that. I am sure some POS terp fan will deride him, IRONY.
Maryland running it up now, nother Thunder dunk by Milbourne.
What the refs called a foul on a terp in the 2nd half? thanks.
Milbourne throws elbows, foul on the hokies, makes sense. good comedy now.
2nd Half VT 1 million fouls, MD 3, all on Vasquez ... so it seems.
VT called off the press with 30 seconds left down 13.
Game Over
Well that SUCKED. i hope my friends make it out alive.
Congrats G.
time for the BCO to drink heavily.

I bitched about the shitty home favoring refs, but that is not why the hokies lost (though it didn't help.) Better coaching, better energy and shockingly better 3 point shooting beat the Hokies today.

Bad News
This was an important game, the last 5 are tough and the easier games are must wins. Now UVA has to feel good about beating the Hokies, especially if Allen is suspended for a game. At least he didn't bump a ref this time. Sigh. Maturity will be an issue for him until he is 40.

Good News
The team is leaving college spark and going back to Blacksburg.
