"sped up the minds of our guys" Really hits it here.

They are thinking so much on the floor, they aren't just playing ball. Really feels like they are almost playing to not make a mistake or to make the right play rather than just do whatever the defense is giving them. Then just the physical ability to deal with the press was poor as well. I still think this team can be decent, but they definitely don't have the ability to be in the top half of the conference.

Patrick Wessler

His strength seems to be rebounding and blocking shots. **

Most improved? Not sure Poteat has gotten better.**
WildTurkE • 11/21/24 02:45 PM ET
Poteat seems to be anchored to the floor. **

I thought Wessler played well. I did not understand why he didn't get time
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/21/24 01:16 PM ET
I couldn’t watch last night, but every time I checked live stats, Poteat

Presser: CMY went to speed at times**

The press destroyed any continuity. Turnovers, rushed shots, not getting

I'm sure our opponents will use that against us until we learn how to...

Or maybe we won't? VT athletics is allergic to change.**

CMY VT seems to just struggle with the press. To focused on not speeding up**

Gives MY time to figure it out, don't have confidence he will however

Very good insightful points. You must make teams pay for pressing you. Not
uber hokie • 11/21/24 12:18 PM ET
Yep, if the press means you have to spend less time guarding set offense
soflahokie • 11/21/24 12:26 PM ET
Very true. That's why he has been successful at Wofford and here at first.

It’s easier for shooters to play off dynamic, aggressive scorers
soflahokie • 11/21/24 12:29 PM ET
For me, not xs or os, the three missed 3s created a run for Jville. **
