Duke's defense and our shot selection

Duke's three point attempts were much more open than ours. We can make contested 3s but certainly going to make a higher percentage of open 3s. Duke looked really aggressive and physical on the perimeter in impending our movement. It was nice to see Cattoor go back door for 3 dunks.

Agree VT 3’s heavily contested. Duke not near as much contested **
Durham Hokie • 01/29/24 09:37 PM ET
We missed a lot of shots at rim as well.**
TboneParkerVT • 01/30/24 09:06 PM ET
Early, we had open threes but just missed them**
Italian Stallion • 01/29/24 09:48 PM ET
There's a bias there...

When MJ is listed as the leading scorer, that is an indicator
Archdale • 01/29/24 09:25 PM ET
I don't agree. It wasn't like he took shots away from anyone else.

Perhaps both can be true**
Archdale • 01/29/24 09:33 PM ET
It was clear that he was their choice to leave open and he made them
Italian Stallion • 01/29/24 09:31 PM ET
Bingo.**
IB4TECH • 01/30/24 05:02 PM ET
As almost every team does**
GCHokie34 • 01/29/24 09:47 PM ET
Which makes my point that, if MJ is our top scorer, it's because the other

It's that simple. Hope most don't read too much else into it.**

Duke got much better shots. Open 3’s all night.
Squatro • 01/29/24 09:22 PM ET
Hunter took some awkward shots. Just couldn't get very open
WildTurkE • 01/29/24 09:31 PM ET
Duke D was good, but we missed a bunch of uncontested 3s Take another look**
UTPr0sim • 01/29/24 09:31 PM ET
Yes we did.**
Italian Stallion • 01/29/24 09:59 PM ET
VT got open shots...

I think it was a typical situation against a good defense--you expect the

I don't feel bad about tonight
Vippie1 • 01/29/24 09:20 PM ET
Well said.**
George Baylor • 01/29/24 10:02 PM ET
Exactly correct. We also missed 3 FTs
hokiepro • 01/29/24 09:16 PM ET
Excellent analysis !! Hopefully Tyler will be ready for these type of games

I have zero doubt he will be...

Hey, I'll take a lesser version of that...
GCHokie34 • 01/29/24 09:33 PM ET

ancient alien 2018 • 01/29/24 09:21 PM ET
Less talent
cybburghokie • 01/29/24 09:15 PM ET
