For a team that supposedly has so many good outside shooters ...
Hokiestud • 11/26/23 08:52 PM ET
I think the issue comparing this years team to last year
grtmmt • 11/27/23 04:33 PM ET
That's basketball ¯\_(ツ)_/¯**

Looked like we just finally ran out of gas in this tournament
Zanderhokie • 11/27/23 11:21 AM ET
The key data point is they all shoot poorly at the same time typically**
WildTurkE • 11/27/23 10:43 AM ET
Fatigue will do that to your shooting stroke.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/27/23 11:51 AM ET
FAU had 3 games (same as us) over weekend. Faigue was no issue
Hokeedokee • 11/27/23 06:28 PM ET
FAU has better depth than we have.
RJHokie • 11/27/23 06:34 PM ET
Great Minds Think Alike my friend. FAU returned 12 players from last year's
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/27/23 06:44 PM ET
No they didn't. Minutes were somewhat similar between the two rosters...
vthokieq • 11/28/23 08:11 AM ET
No idea how minues were spread over 3 games, do know
Hokeedokee • 11/27/23 06:42 PM ET
We live and die by the three, every shot went into the casket today.**
vthhhi • 11/26/23 11:44 PM ET
A good outside shooter still misses six out of ten shots. **

Very true and overlooked by most message board gurus. And a MLB

It's an NIT team so these games will happen. If Basile would have come back
wc hokie • 11/26/23 09:00 PM ET
They won 19 games last year playing John Camden...
GCHokie34 • 11/27/23 02:09 PM ET
Well, VT went 3-7 when Camden got 10+ min.
marcbvtgm • 11/28/23 12:52 PM ET
Camden AVERAGED 8 min per game over the course of 23 games played...
GCHokie34 • 11/28/23 01:12 PM ET
they won 19 games because the team had Basile and Mutts. I think you
wc hokie • 11/27/23 02:47 PM ET
They won 19 games while having to play someone...

marcbvtgm • 11/28/23 12:55 PM ET

If he’s a consistent winner he’s I used to it
tallahasseehokie • 11/27/23 10:21 PM ET
Yep, we lost our top two scorers and rebounders in Basile & Mutts.
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/26/23 09:13 PM ET
Biggest diff I see this year... we lack a big who can create his own shot.
Gobbler Guru • 11/27/23 11:15 AM ET
The problem is this team isn't even as athletic as last years team.
marcbvtgm • 11/28/23 12:59 PM ET
Well said. Esp last paragraph.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/27/23 10:00 PM ET
Of course FAU's defense had a lot to do with missing those shots.**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/26/23 08:55 PM ET
True, but not entirely. There were many good looks missed as well.**
marcbvtgm • 11/27/23 11:47 AM ET
I have to disagree. Yes, some of our misses were contested. But ...
Hokiestud • 11/26/23 09:49 PM ET
I agree - we got good looks for sure. Just couldn't throw it in the ocean.** ◄
Walkin` Willie • 11/27/23 11:26 AM ET
I was at all 3 Orlando games and FAU was the best defense VT faced…
KiloZulu • 11/27/23 10:32 AM ET
Good defenses have a compounding effect, making open shots feel rushed.**
hokieZ71 • 11/27/23 12:46 PM ET
Another level
tallahasseehokie • 11/27/23 11:52 AM ET
Agree to disagree!!!**

Wrong!! You obviously can't see how a good defense can cause a team of
ancient alien 2018 • 11/26/23 09:14 PM ET
FAUs defense is not close to the level of Iowa State
GCHokie34 • 11/27/23 02:08 PM ET
Sshhhhhh. No facts please.**
atlhokie1 • 11/27/23 08:38 PM ET
I agree. It was much better.

GCHokie34 • 11/27/23 07:24 PM ET
Yes, exactly. FAU did a terrific job at stopping the VT flow. Hunter was

coshokie • 11/26/23 09:36 PM ET
They have much more depth and can space out their minutes
