I am sorry that you feel offended. But you have a profile name that usually has a troll written all over it. You need to know that if you post something that others feel is a bad take then you will be called out on it. I just think your take does not match what we have seen from this team as a whole this season. The character and identity of this team do not match up with what your post said let alone the stats.
Virginia Techâs starting PG is coming back after missing last 12 games. He averages 14.4 pts and 5.5 assists per game. I wouldnât look past them.
Maybe so but they were 2-6 against the top 25 including their Duke win. Not sure how many of those losses are without him but seems like they havenât proven much.
They were 17-3 when he went down, so at least 3 of them.
Your post stinks pooter.

ESPNâs compilation of expert picks:
Houston Wins IfâŠ
Its three-point defense holds up. At 27.6 percent, Houston has done a better job defending the arc than every team not named Virginia. That should spell trouble for Georgia State, which does most of its damage from the perimeter. The Panthers went 1-5 when shooting worse than 32 percent from distance, and most of those losses were blowouts.
Going inside isnât much of a Plan B, though, as Houston ranks fifth in two-point defense and 20th in block percentage. Similar to Michigan, the Cougars arenât that great on offense, but scoring against this team is a nightmare.
Georgia State Wins IfâŠ
It out-rebounds Houston and shoots at least 80 percent from the free-throw lineâneither of which is a likely development. Although Georgia State should spend a fair amount of time at the charity stripe, since Houston has some foul-committing problems.
The Panthers (65.6 percent) are one of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the tournament, and their average rebounding margin (negative-6.1) figures to be a major problem against Houston (positive-7.3). If they can overcome those Achillesâ heels, though, they have five players averaging at least 11 points per game. Even against this great Houston defense, theyâre bound to find some points.
Most Important Players AreâŠ
Corey Davis for Houston and DâMarcus Simonds for Georgia State. These are the leading scorers who will likely be going head-to-head for most of the night. Both stars are looking to make up for lackluster showings in their conference championship games on Sunday.
Predictions
David Gardner: Houston
David Kenyon: Houston
Kerry Miller: Houston
Elliott Pohnl: Houston
