Let's all take a deep breath here

No Neo is not playing well. No he is not improving his NBA stock, and I doubt unless he somehow goes off at the Combine he aint gonna be a first rounder. But, there is no way VTs chances of winning games is better with him sitting. Anybody his minutes will go to has greater deficiencies then Neo. And Neo's upside if/when he gets his head right again, exceeds anyone who can take his minutes by a mile. So maybe Neo's retired number is never going to hang in the Cassell rafters, but lets all chillout because he is still an important piece of the puzzle and we have virtually zero chance of making the dance with him benched. ** Edited by Vippie1 at 1/31/2026, 4:22:42 PM

Isn’t it about time for Coach to choose between Neo and the team?

He only took eight shots.**

Which is smart. You don't want your worst shooter taking the most shots.

He needs to come off the bench for a while. Restore his confidence**
quinine • 01/31/26 04:48 PM ET
That seems like a really good way to destroy his confidence**
LonghornHokie • 01/31/26 04:57 PM ET
He may have made a commitment to let him play PG to start

It's official. Neo FG% drops below 30% in ACC games. 17% from 3.**

You might see a shift once we get Tyler Johnson back.
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:42 PM ET
Leaving Lawal open at the 3-line is also a good strategy.**
nkhooch • 01/31/26 03:41 PM ET
Avdalas played the 5th most minutes today...**

Trying to reason with non basketball people is tiresome
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 03:53 PM ET
Comments have no effect, positive or negative. It's just what people do.

Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 04:32 PM ET
Did you watch today? We are not better with him on the floor. It’s obvious**
quinine • 01/31/26 04:49 PM ET
He has the second best plus / minus on the team 😂**
LonghornHokie • 01/31/26 05:16 PM ET
Can you source this? That could well be for the entire season. But,
nkhooch • 02/04/26 03:57 AM ET
I did watch today
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 05:08 PM ET
And you think Tech will be better with him off the floor? Who was going to
dallasvt • 01/31/26 05:07 PM ET
