I think this team will surprise a lot of people

They have played every game close, and I don’t expect that to change. Noticeably, we have improved a great deal in the last 2. With neos usage rate dipping and Hammond being in the starting lineup. Sure cuse might be an ugly shooting night but VT is one of the most consistent shooting teams at around 34-35%. Im not saying we are the best, but they consistently shoot that percentage. Like it’s been said Duke is just 9-7 in Cassel. Mike Young can coach big games. And even if Boozer has 30 Duke is vulnerable. That game is a coin toss.

They certainly surprised Stanford by gift wrapping them a victory.**
Blueboy • 01/19/26 10:24 PM ET
I think we need 7 wins. The Stanford and SMU debacles will prove costly.**
hok1eboy • 01/18/26 07:42 PM ET
IMO 7 gets us in, 6 we’re squarely on the bubble. Depends on who we beat
HwoodHokie • 01/18/26 08:37 PM ET
1 road win + win at home = 20 wins**
GCHokie34 • 01/18/26 04:56 PM ET
We aren’t winning our home game Jan 31**
hokiepro • 01/18/26 05:41 PM ET
Yes. We can. Especially if TJ is back.**
HokieHeartNSoul • 01/19/26 02:20 AM ET

BEST2VT • 01/18/26 08:21 PM ET
Yep and then lose to BC at home**
HwoodHokie • 01/18/26 09:49 PM ET
Well let’s hope we don’t even bother showing up - anyone want my tickets?
AnotherTechW • 01/18/26 07:27 PM ET
Yes please **
hokiepro • 01/18/26 11:10 PM ET
Probably not, but it’s possible if things go right……**
RJHokie • 01/18/26 05:43 PM ET

VermontDDS • 01/18/26 05:03 PM ET
The SMU game was one of the worst 8 second collapses a team can have
hokiepro • 01/18/26 06:08 PM ET
ugh, but so true. **
TboneParkerVT • 01/20/26 09:01 AM ET
Pretty big collapse in second OT vs UVA, but we happened to win the 3rd OT**
VTKev80 • 01/19/26 05:16 PM ET
More chances for Quad 1 wins which they need.**
