My heart was beating out of my chest last night as it came down to the wire
I'm telling Lawal just to bury those last two FTs so this agony can be over. Certainly still felt stress on the last play but didn't expect that AGAIN. I couldn't fall asleep last night after that and woke up thinking about it and I'm just some regular alum who loves Hokie basketball. I can't imagine how hard it is for the coaches or players to get over these losses and still keep their heads up. They're so much better a team than the record shows. Bitten by the injury bug again and getting the short end of the stick on just ridiculously good but very low percentage shots going down. Make it stop.

I'm not sure a coach can do anything about a made halfcourt shot.

They are a good team, and that is what makes it so gutwrenching.
