So if we weren’t prepared why was it 25-24 with under 3:00 left in 1st half

No, we went ice cold & couldn’t throw it in the ocean from a row boat It was 25-24 with 4:40 left 1st. We proceeded to go 0-12 until a Kidd dunk with 16:09 left in 2nd Scoreless for 8:00 plus and our all time best 3 pt shooter going 0-8 for the day probably contributed to the loss I already said FAU was really good & their D had something to do with it BUT their D didn’t force us to miss the WIDE OPEN shots we missed Cattoor missed 4 threes during that 8:00 min stretch and I remember the first one being a wide open chance to go up 27-25 We weren’t beating anyone not named Coppin or Valpo that day

Florida Atlantic is really good.

We had our worst possible shooting day too **

We were overwhelmed which is why we

Crazy thing is that FAU lost to Bryant the week before our game. Same issue

They are VERY good -- got muscles as well as shooters**
HokieMJL • 12/23/23 06:06 PM ET
I mean they would blowout most teams right now. Johnell Davis is SICK.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 12/23/23 06:11 PM ET
I found myself rooting for them -- screw the "Power" leagues**
HokieMJL • 12/23/23 06:19 PM ET
Oh I was definitely rooting for them. They have some ballers.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 12/23/23 06:28 PM ET
When you lose by 34 it's a bad loss. **
mygreenbaypackers • 12/23/23 05:52 PM ET
To be fair, no loss is good **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/24/23 12:09 AM ET
It’s one loss. Rather lose by 34 to them than by 1 to Louisville **
hokiepro • 12/23/23 07:03 PM ET
Absolutely.**

2013-14 UConn lost a regular season game by 33 and won natty **
hokiepro • 12/23/23 07:13 PM ET
We won’t win a natty this year with or without a 34 point loss
Hokeedokee • 12/24/23 07:29 AM ET
Wow, FAU pulled it off in double overtime.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 12/23/23 05:51 PM ET
This is one of the best games of the year so far**
Hardcore_Hokie • 12/23/23 05:36 PM ET
It actually was due to the amount of the thrashing. Kills your efficiency **
UTPr0sim • 12/23/23 04:27 PM ET
Losing is fine, losing by 34 was brutal **
soflahokie • 12/23/23 03:50 PM ET
Anytime you start 0-15 from 3 you’re going to get blown out by a top 10
hokiepro • 12/23/23 07:04 PM ET
We hung with them early then it got away from us**
Hardcore_Hokie • 12/23/23 04:09 PM ET
That is an understatement.**
hokietony • 12/23/23 05:52 PM ET
Don't mind the loss
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/23/23 03:49 PM ET
2 instances I know of that NCAA finalists have lost by 30+ in reg season
