Half court shot and 12 point tanking that needed everything to go the way of our opponent (and certainly we assisted by not closing the door). Our close wins were back and forth games that could have gone either way but no miracle ending. Play out the end of the Stanford and SMU games 100 times and we win 95 of those. It is what it is but personally I think we’re closer to a 16-3 squad than say a 12-7 team

.500 the rest of the way gets you 20 wins... -- GCHokie34 Jan 17, 2026 at 02:45 PM ET

That's not going to get us in the tourney and I think you know that. -- VTMONEY94 Jan 17, 2026 at 04:43 PM ET

20 wins before ACCT will likely get VT in** -- GCHokie34 Jan 17, 2026 at 04:45 PM ET

at 9-9 in ACC play, will have to win a few road games, at least 2 -- vtfin91 Jan 17, 2026 at 07:07 PM ET

Well, if you feel that is the threshold then I will reset my expectations. -- VTMONEY94 Jan 17, 2026 at 04:51 PM ET

Last year was a joke vs this year's schedule. When it matters, we lost... -- GoldCoast Jan 17, 2026 at 04:29 PM ET

Imagine losses in the close wins. We are closer to our best case scenario -- AbsolutVT03 Jan 17, 2026 at 02:30 PM ET
