Posting History (119)

NIT getting lots of good headline coverage by Seth G and ESPNâ€Ļfor VT

to opt out of NIT (given its past success history, etc) is yet another VT GOAT CLUSTER. Would have been fun to see if our VT MBB could have buckled down and given it a run, including NEO.

MBB Program is rotten to the core...Players chose to quit playing this

season by turning down NIT bid. So let's call it what it is. CMY lost the team as displayed at end of WF game by sitting NEO for final 8 mins and thru OT.

Really proud of Coach Duffy & entire WBB Team!!! While winning ACC Tourney

is an wonderful goal and may have improved Seeding slightly, getting sometime to rest, regroup and gear up for the Big Dance is not all bad. GO WBB HOKIES!

Attended recent Men's VT vs Clemson at Littlejohn Coliseum - They have done

a great job with full RENO of Littlejohn along the lines mentioned to boost REVs, attendance, etc. for Basketball games as well as enhanced venue for entertainment. ** Edited by SCHokie80 at 3/1/2026, 6:48:11 PM

And also bring VT basketball (both men's and women's) into 21st century

with modern sports venue great for sports but also serves well for entertainment, which should boost REVs as well as quality of VT's basketball programs. Also, I would not rule consideration of FULL RENO of Cassell vs. 100% BRAND NEW.

What qualifies someone as "non basketball people" on a VT message board? Is

it someone who may have a differing opinion or perspective than GCHokie or you? Guys it is OK to have differing opinions and in some cases agree to disagree, but calling people out on this board as "ignorant" because of a differing opinion isn't acceptable behavior.

CMY is paid to win BB games and pursue TEAM championships...

Perhaps changes may be needed to best achieve this level of success for VT, and such change may be in the best interest of NEO as well.

Virtually every season Duke Basketball has 2,3, 4 or even 5 legit "one

and done's" ready to "play with the big boys"; this year is yet another example of Duke doing the same as was last year and several years before. Perhaps you and I have differing opinions about NEO, but as a fan on a VT message board, it is OK to have differing opinions, and my opinion is merely based on the passed several games including today's.

GC, I don't like the booing either. I'm curious, since you seem to be MBB

board guru, what is word on street of how much VT is paying NEO this year (+/-)? I would appreciate your candid response to this most relevant question. Thank you in advance...

Let's call it what it is...Neo is a paid pro who is attending VT and word

on the street is he is a "one and done" to the NBA. IMO, he does not look at all ready to play with the big boys in the NBA. Today's game was a bonafide test against several legit true "one and done's" and he just doesn't seem to be in their league physically, mentally nor situationally. In any case, I would love nothing better than to see Neo/VT MBB go on a strong run to end the season, including solid ACC tourney and NCAA bid which perhaps would position him to move on the NBA.
