The team’s biggest efficiency is lack of

A rim protector. The top teams all have a giant in the middle who can block shots and collect more rebounds. Look at Duke, Carolina, UVA, even Florida State had an excellent big. The next biggest deficiency is not having elite athletes like many of these teams. In general, we have very skilled players, but we don’t match up in size and quickness against the top teams. We do have good athletes, but not enough elite athletes.

VT's basic plan, like a lot of teams, will depend on how much cash is
