Xavier Henry has not had two back to back games like Bradley just had.

In reply to SleepyFloyd. Corrected. Clearly my brain was thinking about Justin Dentmon, the former player at Washington.

In reply to CP.

Well, again, we’ve had this issue a couple of times before. An upset is about perception, and there’s a perception (even if Vegas doesn’t believe so) that Georgia Tech is a really good team, whereas Virginia isn’t. That perception could be wrong, and last night’s result goes a long way to explaining it, but it felt to us like an upset given the relative reps of each team.

The bigger point is what we talked about in the post. Ga Tech is overrated.

BTW, Denmon hit this shot against Memphis in the tournament last year –

For Missouri, it’s Marcus Denmon (also Justin Safford on the team).

I’d also like to note that UVa’s free throw defense simply cannot be stopped.

Not to be a jerk, but UVA was actually a 2 pt favorite over GA Tech in your Upset of the Night.
