Hoos in Hooville LiveBlog
Because we need extra good mojo due to Calvin’s sickness. And because we’ve already lost a “should win” game (Wake), and we need to win a “should lose” (tonight, NITish opponent that presents matchup problems on the road) to restore balance and harmony in the universe.
Join me, won’t you? Perhaps it will even be fun. Perhaps not. But then gallows humor will abound. So it will still be kind of fun. Unless you don’t enjoy my gallows humor, in which case…f–k you! (:
7:03 – Wood with the friendly bounce from 27. Good omen?
7:04 – Bodies on the floor. Probable omen.
7:07 – Warren VERY active early. Gonna need that.
7:09 – As badly as they shoot, you would expect UVA to pound the boards. But they dash back on defense. That’s…unorthodox. I guess the plan is to frustrate us to death. Which is actually a reasonable idea.
7:13 – Here comes “flu of death” Calvin. Let’s see what develops.
7:15 – That was some suffocating defense, for sure. Woo is really out of sorts early.
7:20 – Zo limping. Last thing in the world we could use. This is like a heavyweight boxing match (not as critique of refs, it’s just gonna be physical tonight).
7:22 – Wee Baby Seamus! For three!!
7:23 – Cavs overpursue WBS on the dribble, and Calvin gets open for a short one. 17-7, TB TO.
7:25 – 4-0 run and momentum turning a little. Really not much action to liveblog about.
7:29 – Calvin in a mental funk – I was the same way last week when at my sickest.
7:30 – Ladies and gentlemen…we ain’t gonna win this game. UVA has adjusted and trying to offensive rebound now.
7:34 – Flu of Death Calvin runs the fast break very nicely. Didn’t expect that.
7:37 – Too much BJD fatalism too soon. And 1 for Calvin, lead up to 8 (because the 1 bricked).
7:39 – I bet they gave Calvin some Tussionex and now he believes he’s invincible. Good job, whoever on the bench was holding some.
7:41 – Super Calvin strikes again!!
Halftime – NC State 31, UVA 24. The Talibeard…it is sweaty.
8:06 – No Zo, and the on-court early second half news is equally grimm. Ugh.
8:14 – Bad times ahead, kids. I do suggest giving WBS some minutes at the two.
8:16 – Bad, bad times.
8:17 – And then out of nowhere…Super Calvin.
8:26 – Nothing has happened for like ten minutes.
8:28 – It’s basically 1-on-5 right now.
8:29 – Then we get Woo and Talibeard sightings.
8:32 – Please sit down, Zo. If we pull this off without him, call the Vatican to declare a miracle.
8:34 – More inconsistent whistle. Happening both ways. Irritating.
8:35 – Missed layup and another endline violation. Daggers.
8:36 – I kinda want to stop watching. This is brutal.
8:38 – Woo keeps us temporarily alive.
8:40 – Criticised for losing a game when we are an underdog whose PG and best player left after 5 minutes? Really??
8:42 – I remember listening to a game on the radio when I was young. We lost at the buzzer after the refs called 10 seconds on the FREE THROW LINE for a turnover, followed by game winning layup. That place (building non-specific) is a house of horrors.
8:45 – Is Warren some kind of attitude problem?
8:47 – Warren needs to come out of the game now. Seriously. WBS time, IMHO. Can’t believe we are still in it. And…the score is where WE want it too. Can’t run and gun sans Zo. Duh.
8:50 – We haven’t taken a good shot in for-f-cking-ever.
8:51 – Jesus, that was 5 seconds.
8:52 – 30% foul shooter his both. House of horrors, I say. Need to get quick two before the next catastrophe.
8:54 – Calvin is exhausted and we are panicking. I set up WBS for the shot. Seriously.
Final Score – UVA 58, State 55. An airball to end it. Hey, if you got your money in late we covered!!

What was Woo doing?
Man UVA is uly basketball
How do you recruit to that awful system?
Herb part duex
Need Warren to settle down. He’s a lot better than what he’s showing.
Good past by beast to buckets
Warren is probably a little nervous starting
Thta lay up was Woo’s fault
Good start. Just need a couple of guys to settle down.
I’ve got a GREAT feeling about this game
That was an awful walk call.
I rewound it twice. He took two steps and shot the ball
Does our defense look better or is UVA that bad on offense?
C’mon buckets I’m used to you making those, left 6 points out there so far. Your better than that.
I hope the crappy ACC refs do not determine this game
Refs can take a few points off the board, but we will win.
We are all over their passing lanes … This is a GREAT sign
lush both
We can play D when we want to.
Tell Leslie to breath on whoever is guarding him
Maybe the ‘Hoos won’t guard him for fear off getting the flu. Come on Calvin!
Woo has to hit that. I mean that is the definition of what he’s looking for.
Man… That would have been nice if Woo could hit that.
Damnit 3 on 1 break, no shot, then wood misses a wide open 3
I never understand fouls like that. It looked like Howell’s arm was straight up.
No need to foul Mitchell, Richard … Just couldn’t help that hand slap
Howell brought his hand down. If they call that even we come out ahead I think
“I never understand fouls like that. It looked like Howell’s arm was straight up.”
His hand did come down. It was from being bumped but it did come down.
Zo seems comfortable tonight. That’s always a plus.
^^^pak, I think Richard did ever so slightly slap down
“His hand did come down. It was from being bumped but it did come down.”
That’s why they don’t pay me the big bucks.
