Definitely coachable. That zone looked very weak and extended. A lot of...

room for a pass to the FT line. Like almost every zone you want a good passing big at the FT line. We had Lawal and Dorn that I noticed and Dorn took a 15footer on one possession. If you've seen his FTs to date, you would probably say that's not his shot. That needs to be Neo or even Hansberry. We did have Bedford bring it up a time or two so that's certainly a play. Coach even said at halftime that we're not shooting it as well as we capable. Aside from Schutt and Bedford, it was an off night shooting the ball. We'll have those. Luckily we go to the line as much as we did in the 2nd half. Announcers noticed that was difference then and the 3pt shooting of Bedford was difference in first half.

Offensive doubts
KenStuckInJersey • 11/17/25 09:21 AM ET
And we still scored 84, pretty crazy. **
GoldCoast • 11/17/25 03:55 PM ET
if we had Mutts + Neo handing out assists & scoring where would we be now? **
HtownHokie • 11/17/25 03:50 PM ET
I’d put Neo at high post if they decide to stay zone
hokiepro • 11/17/25 03:38 PM ET
Agree**
uber hokie • 11/19/25 04:29 PM ET
Yes, thought the same thing when Charlotte went to zone. Passer & shooter.**

It’s said pretty much everyday on here but if offense is the problem…
SC_Hokie • 11/17/25 12:06 PM ET
I was much more worried about our inability to keep them off the offensive

That's why you play these "prep" games to get a feel for what you need to
UTPr0sim • 11/17/25 12:01 PM ET
I’m not sure if we were afraid enough of driving to the hoop

Big difference between Dorn and Mutts in the middle of a zone. They'll get

Midrange Jumpers don't exist in basketball anymore.

They doubled Neo on the pick and roll every time. It was always a big, so

Pick with Bedford or Schutt and those double are deadly!**

Charlotte also missed some 3s at the right time**
jfhokie • 11/17/25 03:05 PM ET
So far on the season the only players shooting well are Schutt and Bedford
SC_Hokie • 11/17/25 12:10 PM ET
I’m going to out on a limb and say they won’t finish at 50%. 40% is

That cut line was a bit strange. However, if he had made it at 33% (the D1
HokieEngineer • 11/17/25 01:36 PM ET
Agree. You have to assume these guys are shooting it at over a 55-60% clip

uber hokie • 11/17/25 10:03 AM ET

BleedinOandM • 11/17/25 09:48 AM ET
Why don't we put Neo in the middle and have Hammond / Pasha bring it up?**
goodbadugly • 11/17/25 09:29 AM ET
well that is a remedy if a Hammond can get to the spot efficiently and
Vippie1 • 11/17/25 12:46 PM ET
Talking zone; high post feed to Neo IMO would’ve been deadly. He either
hokiepro • 11/17/25 03:42 PM ET
It remains to be proven that we can finish at the rim against skilled bigs**
