Still have 8 tier one game possibilities. Need a run like the 2022

championship run against a tough away conference schedule. Talent wise, an injury free VT had the talent to compete with any team on the schedule, except dook. UNC is more talented but they have hubert as HC and that always gives most of their opponents a little advantage. 1) Wins against Cal, BC, GT, FSU, WF, ND I call likely/should win. Lose any and NCAAT is a long shot or maybe unlikely. 2) Klempsun, Cuse, NCSU, scUM, are winnable but will require 40 minute, nearly clean games to win 3) SMU, Dook, UNCheat, UofL, UVa are long shots and would require VT to pull one out of their azzes. win all of #1 and that's 18 wins would have to steal 2-3 from #2 and maybe 1 from #3 to even be near the bubble, and those are all on the road. 1-2 ACCT wins could do it but that's going to take a lot of better, smarter play and less inconsistency on offense to get there. Is this team capable? Sure from a talent standpoint. Mentally? Needs some work!! Has to start Sat. with Cal.!!!! Blast away!! Let the Board know what you think.

Weren’t soft vs UVA. Idk what that was last 3:00**
hokiepro 01/08/26 12:47 PM ET
I mean we absolutely were soft against UVa, our 2OT collapse...
Gobbler-100 01/08/26 01:04 PM ET
No the 2nd OT was 90% UVA and one missed FT

Neo took a fadeaway 3 with a little over a minute left rather than drive it
Gobbler-100 01/08/26 02:47 PM ET
Yeah. Ben didn’t foul that guy but they call that when teams are trying to
hokiepro 01/08/26 03:13 PM ET
We have talent, but must play for 40 minutes & make 90+% FTs.**

They might get it together and sneak into the NIT as a 5 or 6 seed...
Gobbler-100 01/08/26 09:13 AM ET
We flash talent of a round of 32 caliber team. But make enough mistakes
hokiepro 01/08/26 11:35 AM ET
And what do you call a team that "flashes talent"...

Stanford beat Louisville. I think they rise
