they just did not fall

Had plenty of good looks but they did not go in. Example was first possession of 2nd half ran the pin down play to free Cattoor at the top of the key. He was wide open and missed. Poteat a very good free throw shooter missed both of his. Sometimes it happens. Duke was on fire

Not that odd.

I feel like the Duke guards were able to turn the corner on our defenders
HokieObsession • 01/30/24 11:34 AM ET
Both 5*s instead of 3. I like our guards but those players were rated that

VT was 6-for-22 last night from 3...

Hmmmm, I think I see a cause & effect here ........**

Cattoor said it was Duke's D that made it tough for VT on offense.
OrlandoHokie • 01/30/24 12:00 PM ET
and yet Cattoor scored 15 on 63% shooting (50% from 3pt)
ShockWaveVT • 01/31/24 01:06 AM ET
Cattoor's basketball IQ is off the charts. **

I thought Duke was very good last night.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/30/24 12:09 PM ET
It is UNC week. They decided to ramp it up and 25 and 3 are back.**
OrlandoHokie • 01/30/24 04:38 PM ET
Duke did a great job defensively...
GCHokie34 • 01/30/24 12:08 PM ET
Interesting, I would love to know how many were opened versus covered shots
Stech • 01/30/24 10:18 AM ET
Based purely on my observation (and memory)
hoosnowahokie • 01/30/24 11:00 AM ET
Thanks that’s some numbers, but knowing th numbers for the whole game often
Stech • 01/30/24 01:20 PM ET
Good question. Seemed most of Pedulla's shots were covered.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/30/24 10:53 AM ET
He had a couple “open” ones he took from deeper
hokiepro • 01/30/24 11:08 AM ET
It's deceiving. Even if he makes 45% of his 3-pointers,
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/30/24 02:03 PM ET
Which is Duke's good D pushing him further out, reducing the probability
hokienole • 01/30/24 12:13 PM ET
Difference is he made those vs Iowa St and Clemson **
hokiepro • 01/30/24 12:19 PM ET
Sure, but I'm talking about reduced probabilities. Not deterministic
hokienole • 01/30/24 12:21 PM ET
Certainly the further you push a shooter out beyond the 3 point line
Pride_and_Joy • 01/30/24 04:10 PM ET
they just did not fall ◄
VTtwins • 01/30/24 10:26 AM ET
Thanks, but numbers for a whole game are much better than measuring a few
