Squatro

As I said above

I think he could’ve given Pedulla vital rest as primary playmaker and defender on Clark. Pedulla was struggling at times to get us into our offense because of his fatigue. Does anyone know if Rice is ready to handle that kind of pressure? No. But he certainly looks poised and I think he is.

Observations from last night from the second row
Squatro • 01/19/23 12:21 PM ET
Warning: the Basile stats crew will be in to browbeat you for that
Tombo • 01/19/23 01:33 PM ET
How would Rice have made a huge difference as a true freshman
VAHokie89 • 01/19/23 01:21 PM ET
He’s bigger & already as strong or stronger than Pedulla
hokiepro • 01/19/23 11:19 PM ET
Just hype and wishful thinking until he shows it**
VAHokie89 • 01/21/23 10:07 AM ET
Seriously doubt he’s stronger than Pedulla since Mike Young
RJHokie • 01/19/23 11:37 PM ET
How do you know he wouldn’t have?**
NC Hoke • 01/19/23 05:39 PM ET
I don’t know either way, but..
VPI63 • 01/19/23 11:17 PM ET
don't but it is the positive that needs proving, not the negative
VTCALS72 • 01/19/23 09:19 PM ET
Neither needs to be proved, both are opinions. What isn’t opinion is that
NC Hoke • 01/20/23 04:28 AM ET
And still opinion that an untried freshman, although a highly rated one
VTCALS72 • 01/20/23 09:30 AM ET
Of course. Still, that was the coaching staff’s manning plan, and
NC Hoke • 01/20/23 05:49 PM ET
SP will be fine, especially when he is in his 10th year like Wong. 🤓**
VPI63 • 01/19/23 11:20 PM ET
Quicker than that I hope. Maybe even next year
VTCALS72 • 01/20/23 09:32 AM ET
I think it is more of a little thing can help create a big thing. This
IB4TECH • 01/19/23 04:46 PM ET
He is NOT just your average freshman; he played in a top HS conference**
hokie1120 • 01/19/23 02:11 PM ET
He must have been awesome in his debut against Cuse, right?**
Foxhall Hokie • 01/19/23 04:54 PM ET
As I said above ◄
Squatro • 01/19/23 02:08 PM ET
I agree. Pedulla needs some breaks**
Durham Hokie • 01/19/23 02:11 PM ET
We'll never know **
TomTurkey • 01/19/23 01:56 PM ET
Pedulla couldn't guard Kihei Clark all night. Announcers made note of it. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/23 01:06 PM ET
He'll get another chance at Cassell! **
VANESSAHOKIE • 01/19/23 05:42 PM ET
Pedulla is a tough player who is only going to get better and better.
LXNTN_HOKIE • 01/19/23 02:07 PM ET
So who guarded Kihei last year?Storm?Alleyne?He didn't do much in either
HokieBrazil • 01/19/23 01:36 PM ET
As much as it is who guarded him last year-
wahoo2023 • 01/20/23 12:37 AM ET
While I think you make some good points
Squatro • 01/20/23 02:05 PM ET
Nahiem was a solid defender, missing him in these situations.**
4dhokies • 01/19/23 05:06 PM ET
I don’t know. But I do know
Squatro • 01/19/23 01:57 PM ET
Very true. And they did NOT play their bigs hardly any to clear the lane**
hokie1120 • 01/19/23 02:14 PM ET
UVA's players kept getting the ball with easy, obvious angles to the basket
VAHokie89 • 01/19/23 01:22 PM ET
I asked last night. Who did Cattoor guard?
TomTurkey • 01/19/23 01:16 PM ET
Beekman. A better matchup physically.
Squatro • 01/19/23 01:24 PM ET
Without Rice's unfortunate injury, we could have had a two-headed monster
LXNTN_HOKIE • 01/19/23 02:19 PM ET
Makes sense. Didn't listen on-line and wondered. Thanks **
