Not that odd.

Not much analysis needed for this one, it all shows up in the box score. Poor shooting plus outrebounded by 18 rebounds is pretty much always going to leave you on the losing end, especially against a good team like Duke. Our 10 turnover advantage at least kept it from being a blowout. Just need to move on to the next game with the satisfaction that perhaps the turnover issue is resolving.

I feel like the Duke guards were able to turn the corner on our defenders

Both 5*s instead of 3. I like our guards but those players were rated that

VT was 6-for-22 last night from 3...

Cattoor said it was Duke's D that made it tough for VT on offense.
OrlandoHokie • 01/30/24 12:00 PM ET
and yet Cattoor scored 15 on 63% shooting (50% from 3pt)
ShockWaveVT • 01/31/24 01:06 AM ET
Cattoor's basketball IQ is off the charts. **

I thought Duke was very good last night.

It is UNC week. They decided to ramp it up and 25 and 3 are back.**
OrlandoHokie • 01/30/24 04:38 PM ET
Duke did a great job defensively...
GCHokie34 • 01/30/24 12:08 PM ET
Interesting, I would love to know how many were opened versus covered shots
Stech • 01/30/24 10:18 AM ET
Based purely on my observation (and memory)
hoosnowahokie • 01/30/24 11:00 AM ET
Thanks that’s some numbers, but knowing th numbers for the whole game often
Stech • 01/30/24 01:20 PM ET
Good question. Seemed most of Pedulla's shots were covered.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/30/24 10:53 AM ET
He had a couple “open” ones he took from deeper
hokiepro • 01/30/24 11:08 AM ET
It's deceiving. Even if he makes 45% of his 3-pointers,
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/30/24 02:03 PM ET
Which is Duke's good D pushing him further out, reducing the probability
hokienole • 01/30/24 12:13 PM ET
Difference is he made those vs Iowa St and Clemson **
hokiepro • 01/30/24 12:19 PM ET
Sure, but I'm talking about reduced probabilities. Not deterministic
hokienole • 01/30/24 12:21 PM ET
Certainly the further you push a shooter out beyond the 3 point line
Pride_and_Joy • 01/30/24 04:10 PM ET
they just did not fall
VTtwins • 01/30/24 10:26 AM ET
Thanks, but numbers for a whole game are much better than measuring a few
