ACC Tourney- UVA vs. Duke [R]

you can follow gametracker on theacc.com, i noticed that wake beat vt 1-0, 7 minutes into the first overtime period. duke and uva are currently tied 0-0 after 21 min. GO DEVILS!!

 

0-0 in the 22nd minute.

Wake squeaked by Tech in the opener, 1-0 on an OT goal by Mark (I think it's Mark) Ellington, assisted by Moose and Lowry.

 

Typical Wake, they were lucky to win. They struggle in tournament play every year so if you want to see them play don't want until Sunday because they will be back in W-S. Lucky they had the top attacker, top defender and top coach in the ACC this year to squeak by that powerful Tech team in OT.

And Sandon, why aren't you down there giving us reports?

 

Real world interfered this year. It's harder to justify the trip when the tourney starts on a Wednesday and then has an off day. Before, you could work a half day Thursday (if you left early enough) and still catch three games Thursday and two Friday.

Now, there's one more game, so they start earlier, thus you can't work a half day and still make it in time for the first one. Then, they have the off day so you either have to drive back or stay down there when there are no games Thursday.

I understand why they did it. It's better for the kids and the conference as a whole, but harder to justify the trip from a fan's persepctive.

BTW, Duke-UVa scoreless at the half.

I'd never even heard of David Rosenbaum before today and suddenly he's turning into David Beckham!

Only had two assists all season and he gets that many in four minutes!

They outshot Va. Tech something like 16-4 for the game. That isn't "lucky".

 

Excellent

I really liked what I saw of Jeremy Barlow the other night against Maryland.

 

He had a really solid game that night. Ball control is just amazing.

Those RFC are something, look for a lot more to come up like he has in the next few years.

 

I can't possibly see UVA beating Wake friday, after the way they played wednesday. Neither team(Duke, UVA) looked really good, and it was one of the most sloppiest games I've seen. Wake's defense is too tight and organized to let UVA beat them from the wings the way Duke let them. I don't see a problem with Wake breaking down their defense as well.

 

gelnovatch ball has to be some of the ugliest form of abhorent soccer that you can ever watch. it consists of kicking the ball from the back over the holding midfielders heads, and hoping that a leaping forward can somehow make head contact and start something. it's really disgusting, but I must also admit, UVA has had some success with it this year. as george was quoted earlier this year (paraphrased) regarding their lack of style '....you don't win games by making pretty passes in the midfield....'. the big question for wake this time is if they can finally shake the curse that UVA has on them. last year it was wake's own goal that was the difference.

 

In their game this year Wake dictated the pace of play. They even scored first. That should have been the end of it for UVa. because chasing after Wake when they get the lead is not easy. Instead UVa. got two soft goals against a team that went completely flat in half two. After that game Wake switched up their D and went on a big winning streak. Sooner or later UVa's mastery of Wake has to end. I think that tonight may be the night.
