News Conference: UMBC & Virginia - Postgame

[@spencerjames9417]

That Virginia coach is nothing but a class act

[@cheefussmith9380]

Ty, not so much

[@jasonharris836]

Guy hit it on the head when he said when Virginia was down 8-10, they panicked and started shooting 3s and forcing shots. You attack the basket. You have to do the basics to get back into the game.

[@jasonharris836]

Well, he is young

[@joonchung3429]

Reporter asked him the dumbest question in the world. He reacted way better than any of us would've

[@danguerriero3094]

Spenc what else is he going to say they cheated. Go UMBC.

[@guido072]

hard to dig at VA when coach bennett is such a good dude

[@macjuiceplussharesmiller4379]

True that

[@dhersam]

UMBC starts at 4:23, and UVA at 23:18.

[@rubenozuna9510]

thank you

[@nikeathlete23]

You're the real MVP.

Man no way If I was those Virginia players I could of been taking those questions. Nothing but respect for these guys....Id have thrown my cup at that dude that asked if they were aware a 16 never beat a 1.

[@spartanspeedruns8386]

Wow, Virginia's coach is a really classy guy. Gotta feel bad for them but still, MARCH MADNESSSS baby!!

[@knoble14]

What a difference a year can make

[@Nightsinwhitesatin645]

Finally watched this after we won the National Championship. Lowest of lows to the highest of highs. What a story.

[@dale2222222]

Bennett, what a class act

[@Zobin211]

It really is a shame that when a #1 seed finally did lose that it would be a classy team with an incredibly classy coach that many of us would have rooted for to win it all once our respective favorites started falling by the wayside. I'm from Big 10 country, but I have always liked Virginia and with the Wisconsin connection to Tony Bennett ... yes, I do root for him. Having said that, what a historic win for UMBC! But be proud of your team and coach UVA fans ... no, you didn't get the outcome you wanted this year (national title) but consider yourself fortunate to have good kids and a terrific coach!

[@mattmac1271]

Chris Zobin they wouldn’t have lost with hunter and if it was known on selection Sunday that hunter wasn’t playing they wouldn’t have been a top seed

[@222333aaaaaa]

Fantastic post. Couldnt agree more w the sentiments youve expressed

[@danielcissell2970]

Virginia fans are dicks so I’m really not upset it happened to them

[@brianglass7089]

This will be made a movie, or at the very least an ESPN 30 for 30

[@piratesfan1995able]

brian glass 30 for 30 probably. I doubt a movie, it would be pretty boring

[@Areyoubornagainjohn316]

Win the championship then a movie but win 2 more games then it’s a 30 for 30

[@xphile01]

DILLY DILLY!!!!!

[@antonchigurh8541]

What if I told you ...the Retrievers, ...yes the Retrievers!!! LOL

[@bearinpinkk5072]

30 v 30 the rise and fall of uva

[@RandallDaytona711]

Bennet is a good mentor to these kids

[@joeomalley2835]

He's a class act all the way, and handled this well.

[@hudsonja]

One of the best coaches in the game right now. To even convince players to come out to answer questions after a loss as monumental as this is a testament to the character of those players. That would be like the worst job interview anyone could imagine.

[@BobC59]

"Kids". Folks, try to remember that despite their high level of play in a sport, these are TEENAGERS (or barely 20's) who not long ago just left home. If you can't show admiration for them, at least show some respect... please :)

[@masonatkinson6681]

If you want to hear the stupidest question from this interview go to 29:50 "no man I had no idea, thought it happened alot"

[@justindza]

Virginia coach handled this like a boss

[@skylerjohnson5282]

I love how the Virginia kid reacted to the question if he was aware a 16 seed had never won. Worst question ever...

[@domibryant2257]

Greyson Geiler best question ever

[@neetrab]

Asking smart alec, dumba$$, rhetorical questions is always the media's job.

[@StacieMMeier]

I love how Bennett accepted this. He understands how life works, there are winners and losers. You do not always win and that's ok, you grow from it. This isnt like everyone "wins" in a game. Sometimes you are going to lose and how you react and accept it makes you. Parents be so lucky to have their sons under his leadership.

[@danguerriero3094]

He looked past Umbc he is egotistical all I can is Happy Saint Patricks day Bennett

[@mattmac1271]

Stacie Meier it’s also a single elimination tournament with the 3 point line anyone can win one game

[@danguerriero3094]

Then why are they the first UMBC 16th Seed to ever will!!!

[@StacieMMeier]

+Matthew Maccaro True not sure what that as to do with my statement though. My point, his team lost, so he also lost. He knew how to handle it, he lost with grace. His players not so much. He handled it like any parent could wish their children to learn from. He's teaching them that they shan't always be given a reward for simply playing a game, which I find happens a lot nowadays. What he did in that interview is how you should react, he didn't whine, he didn't blame, he didn't get mad. He accepted what happened and he's moving on. Let's hope the younger generations view this and see that you cannot always have what you wish. Sometimes, you lose, that's a part of life, we need to teach younger generations this fact (and very quickly I may add or they going to suffer later in life.)

[@merica76]

Really happy for UMBC and it was a joy listening to the players answer the questions. It was equally heartbreaking looking at and listening to the Virginia kids though.

[@markbrian7179]

As great as UMBC win was, I felt bad that these Virginia players had to answer questions from the press right after the game. They must have been embarrassed.

[@g.williams2047]

Tony Bennett let all the seniors who would have had this as their last game not attend the conference. Some major respect for the younger ones to step up and take the mic.

[@poochiefnm3442]

looking back this makes it all so much better

[@joinjen3854]

UVA and Coach Tony Bennett had a GREAT year until these 40 minutes. they had a GREAT season.

[@macjuiceplussharesmiller4379]

Yes they did. And it shouldn't been lost in the loss.

[@lavequiasignora9879]

Their minds (Virginia) were on bigger fish. For UMBC, this was like a final.

[@joycemckay7488]

Class act through and through.

[@ericwall6219]

To UMBC, please win a national championship this year. I really need this. You’ve given me something to believe in after feeling numbed and almost dead for the last 15 months, I have appreciated your joy, and I love having seen this. Signed, all Americans everywhere.

[@robotunes]

All Americans everywhere? Virginia too? Nope!

[@willowandluka5302]

Everyone’s bracket is busted, might as well root for these guys!

[@ImBackItsDad]

my bracket is fine i had umbc winning i picked almost all underdogs kenny said this was the season of upsets and this was it. i got carolina winning it all! GO UNC!!!!

[@andynorman6175]

Cole Lutz exactly

[@Antbeast23]

I hope this is a year that a mid major wins it all. I also dreamed that a 16 seed will go to the final four lol

[@jasonharris836]

I never realized how big these Guy and Jerome are. They are huge guards

[@user-xm5le5ok2r]

Can’t wait til next year. UVA will be back. Live and learn!

[@eweesey]

this aged very well

[@jeffsmith825]

What people need to remember watching this is that this game was a blowout. They won by 20. The second half was a clinic.

[@marekadamowicz4488]

I don't think the Virginia players needed to come out and speak to the press. This is a very tough loss to swallow, and we know they're upset. Let UMBC have all the time.

[@hudsonja]

Marek Adamowicz I want to agree with you, but imagine what that tough experience will teach them later on. Life isn't all good things. It'll be great for their humility going forward.

[@johnshelhorse]

Wow. So proud of UVa. Go 'Hoos!

"Congratulations on a great year." I am dying.

[@archstevej]

Can't this be edited to not include 4 minutes of a blank screen?

[@mmartinez8439]

Bennett is a good coach. But he needs to change up his system a little bit. They aren’t built to come back from 10 down they can’t make a run. Works in regular season but eventually in the NCAA ur gonna matchup with a team that hits a lot of open shots. U have to match em or get points some way.

[@user-xm5le5ok2r]

Totally agree. Bennet is a great coach, but he needs to learn how to coach for March Madness!

[@jermainejpshepherd2778]

Its showing this season too so far. Lol.

[@tonyharrington100]

Matthew Martinez Yep. They definitely aren’t built for March Madness after making it to be National Championship game

[@pizzapocket7878]

Now i don't feel that bad about Arizona losing in the first round.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Sergio Morales me neither. That team was in a lot of turmoil

[@skratatualarorthaborisasau83]

Sergio Morales Kentucky has the easiest road to the final four. They get to avoid, Arizona ,Tennessee , and Virginia. As a Kentucky fan I am so happy as we watch our section of the bracket crumble. And cincy may loose today as well, this could be crazy if all the top 4 seeds loose in this brackets. Let’s go cats!

[@pizzapocket7878]

Undeserved Turmoil but yet they kept it together when most teams would have crumbled. A Pac12 conference championship and tournament championship are good enough for me. In the end one team will win it all.

[@SemmiOh]

Virginia's problem offensively is they don't have anyone who steps up and wows you like a lot of other team's players can. This tournament is about guard play and good defense. Always has been and always will be. Virginia doesn't have a true point guard. North Carolina didn't have a true point guard this season. Nor did they deserve a 2 seed and it showed.

[@iCorlitotv]

UMBC coach makes 160k, UVA coach makes 1.3m

[@crabtreefalls1]

Actually he makes $3 m and gives the raises they try to give him to his staff. Deserves every penny of it

[@malcomjones2857]

Va you got a game tonight

[@hermanblume275]

Two class-act coaches with Hall Of Fame fathers...

[@jshelhorse]

5 yrs. out and after a redeeming national championship, it's still painful for a Wahoo. I think this game convinced Coach Bennett he had to have a defensive pest. As good as the 2018 team was, they did not have that. They'd had it before with Jontel, and to some extent with London, but they certainly had it with Kihei, and now have it exponentially with Reece and Dante. Shout out to Coach Odom, a Wahoo, in spite of going to Hampden-Sydney.

[@assimilatedndn642]

Someone might have to ask that last question again come Monday night!

[@christopherdixon5141]

Great defense can never beat great offense. Period.

[@HSMak]

“QUESTION - Were you aware you’re the biggest losers in the history of this game or did u just brush it off” 😅😂🤣

[@cheefussmith9380]

[@ebrandymighty2386]

29:51

[@willowandluka5302]

If they can beat Virginia, they can beat Kansas State. Just need to keep a level head and keep their confidence. If that next game is close, you already know UMBC gonna do it again.

[@blakeb4583]

Cole Lutz being a kstater, I’m a bit biased, but had Virginia made half of the shots they missed, they would have shut out UMBC. Not that i don’t want to see a Cinderella story, but UMBC had really good luck with their shots, but their ball handling is not the best by any means if you watched the game. And if you know anything about KState’s defense, you’ll know that kstate would never allow UMBC to score as much as they did

[@carrssportscorner99]

Blake B you can say that about every single basketball game, thats not really a good reason

[@dathunderman4]

Blake B well of course you can say that about any team that loses. Obviously if a team makes half the shots they missed they would've won the game they lost lol, it's up to the team to make shots. I agree tho that it's unlikely this team will continue to upset the teams on their road, though I would love to see it.

[@jdest2619]

UMBC=GOD SQUAD

[@vincentjames7210]

History..these guys believe they can beat anybody

[@dhui777]

They needed a better point guard.

[@SonicTheo]

nah they just needed Hunter. that combined with just a crazy good game by UMBC

[@Ldiggs85]

2023 and still can’t believe a 1 seed lost to a 16 seed. I hope that someday there will be a movie about UMBC beating Virginia and it’ll be called “Sweet 16”

[@jshelhorse]

This happened long ago, at this point, but you should know that statistically, factually, scientifically, a 1 seed should've lost to a 16 seed 6 times prior, in the NCAA tournament, since all teams were seeded in 1979. That it didn't happen until 2018 is the true statistical anomaly. That it happened again only 4 yrs., later, after 44 yrs., shows this occurrence, this anomaly, is a media-generated non-story.

I don't like the kid either. Showed a lot of sass in his answers, if he was thoroughly upset, he shouldn't have even showed up imo

[@cheefussmith9380]

Joseph Mangan did you watch?

[@joshx413]

Joseph Mangan not at all. The difference in attitude between ty and Kyle were night and day. Kyle handles it maturely. Ty was bitter, arrogant, and a sore loser. Kyle handled it with dignity. Ty. Not even close

[@Dusty7508]

This coach makes tons of money. He obviously didn’t prepare them and did not make adjustments. All he did as they were losing was smirk and look at the score board. No time out, no getting on players to wake up, no emotion, or even a trying to get technical by getting on the refs.

[@brickrowoutdoors1038]

you mean the coach that has the National Championship in his hands? You should work for CNN with BS like that.
