Is it that big?

If it was a talent issue, what talent were we missing this year? Size, athleticism, shooting? I think VT was probably comparable to several teams in this year's Sweet 16 in those areas. VT's injuries didn't help, but one big difference I saw this season was the team game, both on offense and defense. That's what VT seemed to be lacking, in my opinion, more than an overall talent deficiency. Now, perhaps the problem there is that we didn't have the RIGHT talent to make team concepts more effective.

The talent gap between these teams and VT is huge. IDK if we can get there.

VT wins that battle, though Nebraska nearly got on that board last Saturday
