style that is difficult. they are very methodical, and they execute their offense at a high level, and they have to go through the players, and virginia had trouble with carolina, and more so than michigan state, i'm worried about perdue looming, and if virginia can get to that point, they need better interior play, and outside of anthony gill, like toby coming off the bench outside, they missed some chips that could check out the fresh new look on mcdonald's mcpick 2 menu! try a flaky filet-o-fish made with sustainably sourced fish, a big mac made with 100% beef, chicken mcnuggets made with white meat, or a quarter pounder with cheese seared on the grill. pick any 2 for $5 bucks. ♪ bada ba ba ba
