Who scores when the shots don't fall for any team?

The whole point is it doesn't matter as much this season if Schutt is a ghost in a given game or if Lawal is consistent Lawal isn't having a good game? Oh no, they'll have to turn to 20 point threats Pasha, Avdalas and Hansberry Schutt isn't shooting well? Oh no, they'll have to empty out a side and play a 2 man game with Lawal/Hansberry and Pasha/Avdalas Game speed matters the least at the 5 spot...especially the stronger you are, which applies to both Dorn and Gurdak. Again, the 3rd and 4th post options for VT. If Ty Outlaw can guard ACC 4s and be a net positive, Avdalas is going to have zero trouble doing so...he is better on both ends of the floor than Outlaw, the primary 4 on a Sweet 16 team. Avdalas absolutely does not go on the worst shooting wing regardless of who is on the floor, he's 6'8 and very mobile, and the defensive scheme will make playing in space defensively moot. You're a fan of a rival team vastly overblowing issues that you *hope* are there as a means to g8ve your program a better chance. 5 players in VTs rotation will need to learn a new system...every player who plays for UVA next season will be learning a new system. Good luck with that.

Very excited to see where UVA/VT is this upcoming season.

ALL just speculation at this time. UVA was preseason #2 in baseball**

Quite a few points of contention...

Keep posting. I welcome your views. But don't expect me to agree with you**

Typical UVA arrogance. Everyone is entitled

Just make sure you stick around through the season.
hokieZ71 • 06/10/25 05:11 PM ET
The EuroLeague is not a step below the ACC...
GCHokie34 • 06/10/25 05:05 PM ET
I think you may be as excited about this team as I am**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/10/25 03:02 PM ET
I'm anxiously awaiting for the bad part...

VT ChemE 1986 • 06/10/25 03:06 PM ET
Well, I guess we just shouldn't even suit up this year**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/10/25 02:17 PM ET
To be honest I haven’t spent much time studying UVa’s new roster.
NC Hoke • 06/10/25 01:26 PM ET
Great questions
wahoo2023 • 06/10/25 02:00 PM ET
So, I studied your roster and no doubt

This G oriented running team would devour VT's last two editions! But not

So, we split the season series, as usual!**

Homer view, I know, but I see VT as top 3 ACC and Sweet 16 NCAA

All fair points
wahoo2023 • 06/10/25 01:22 PM ET
You are correct. Avdalas isn’t a prime option until he proves it.
