I’m saying VCU has historically been every bit as good or better than VT &

So have a lot of other schools from smaller conferences. You might want to come down off the pedestal you think VT deserves just because we’re in the ACC. You earn respect you aren’t gifted respect. We’ve not beaten VCU nearly enough to consider them inferior. I don’t care what conference either team plays in. I recall having a similar conversation on this board about ODU football. There were a number of our fans who swore ODU would never ever beat VT in football. I laughed at that foolish thought because I knew ODU would win sooner or later. Sadly, they’ve done even better than I thought. When you start believing you’re better than other schools or conferences based on nothing other than we’re larger, have more money & play in a so called Power 5 Conference, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Especially in Basketball because there are only 5 players on a court per team at one time & because VT has never proven they can consistently beat such schools.

Agree. Hammond reminds me of Bede. He is quick and able to get open looks

I agree - way too much over reaction on this board

You should be. They all matter - especially vs OOC competition like that. **

i don't see an offensive philosophy

We rarely get the ball to our big men in the paint. That puzzles me.

None of them have a post game, except Gurdak.

Yup Dorn pretty much just sets picks at the top of the key

Thought the same, especially after watching St. Mary's.

It's early and the people saying that are correct. But there are trends

Bottom line is that his system is very effective

Structure can be adjusted to take advantage of what you have to work with

How does what he's doing now differ from that if that was his intention?**

By 18 to an a10 team? Not like we’re playing top 10, top 20 comp. **

I don’t know our record verses VCU but I bet it’s close to 50/50 at best.
Hoakie82 11/28/25 09:55 PM ET
12-10 VCU**

What are you saying? We've historically been .500 against VCU, therefore..
GoldCoast 11/29/25 10:39 AM ET
I think it is 10 for VT and 12 wins for VCU...but that is a guess**
Tuckahokie 11/29/25 09:09 AM ET
Heard VCU is favored to win the A10**
