The Bilas/Shulman UVA Lovefest during Tech's 17-0 run was pretty humorous


Replayed the game last night and had to chuckle at Bilas and Shulman's talking points about UVA's greatness as Tech totally turned the game around. Here's a summary

VT 5 - UVA 13
S - "UVA is 12-0 and looking to become only the seventh team to start 13-0 in conference play."
B - "I would consider it an upset if UVA did not run the table in conference play."

NAW hits a 3 VT 8 - UVA 13
S - "Nigel Johnson is now in the game , the Rutgers transfer is back from a 3 game suspension."
A quick blurb about Tech
B - "Alexander-Walker is now 11 for his last 22 from behind the arc."
S - "The Hokies have 5 players averaging double figures."
Now back to UVA talk
B - "Johnson is a speedster who gets up and down the floor. He changes the game with his speed."

NAW hits a second 3 VT 11 - UVA 13
B- "That's one of the few times you will see UVA give up an open look in transition."

Back from commercial Bilas does his 94 Feet segment with Wilkins.
Followed by lots more talk on Wilkins.

Wilson hits a 3 VT 14 - UVA 13
B - "I thought Brodgen should be President." "But now I want Wilkins for President"
S - "UVA was picked 6th in the conference because of all the great players they lost "
"If they win tonight they will likely be #1 in the nation"
B - "They were picked 6th because the voters were not sure how good they would be; but they had a lot of talent coming back too "

Clarke hits a step back 2 VT 16 - UVA 13
(They suddenly realize there is a ball game going on and it's not going according to the script.)
S - "Meanwhile, Virginia Tech is on an 11 - 0 run."
B - "Virginia needs to identify which defense they are going against and attack it." "This (UVA) is a good offense, not a great offense."
"Their defense is so good, that is why they have such a high margin of victory."

Clarke hits from 3 VT 19 - UVA 13
S - "Both Clarke and Wilson knock down 3's in this half and neither of them make that many."
B - "I would venture to say Virginia has not dealt with a 14-0 run by the opposition at any point this season."

Bibbs nails a 3 VT22 - UVA13
S - "The Hokies can't miss right now and Tony Bennett will use a time out. Virginia Tech, on the road, is on a 17-0 run to take a 9 point lead."
