I spotted Basile from day 1 - liability on D, asset on O (sort of)

I think Basile for as talented as he is, slowed the ball a touch for our traditional offense. But was certainly a "+" on offense. But he was a major liability on D...I noticed this very early. Pedulla shocked me - I thought of him as a good defender, I think I was wrong. Disaster, no. But close. This was a disappointing season, no doubt. Tons of the roster returned (yes some lost) and we filled from the portal fairly well. We should have been better then we were...injuries are a part of the season.

Not committed to defense and rebounding. Would rather jack 3s all night -- 39hokies Apr 01, 2023 at 08:48 AM ET

The more game film out there allows teams to prepare better for this team -- 1980VT Mar 31, 2023 at 02:56 PM ET

Defense fell off a cliff with the additional tape on Basile and Pedulla -- soflahokie Mar 31, 2023 at 02:17 PM ET

Defense slipped the most. Prob due to bodies/fatigue, but can't answer it -- 6thStreetHokie Mar 31, 2023 at 11:24 AM ET

You asked what changed. Not sure why it irks you -- HokieAl Apr 01, 2023 at 01:18 PM ET

HokieAl • 04/01/23 01:18 PM ET
