The athleticism against real P5 teams (Butler, Maryland, etc)

Is what gets de Ridder out of his fun. Hansberry is more a European big (physical, mobile, but not jumping out of the gym). But I’d imagine Odom attacks Hansberry immediately bc tech either A) collapses allowing guards to attack, B) plays straight up and likely leads to fouls trouble for Hansberry/bigs. Lawal, to me, can play a step back on the perimeter, and de Ridders driving ability might be his most effective usage. The athleticism as well doesn’t allow de Ridder to finish as comfortably either.

Which UVA player is out? Their 3-pt shot leader, whoever that is?**

If you have a junkyard dog defender that is really physical you can stop

Our Belgian strategy will be a swinging door, like the Schlieffen Plan.

Nice reference

I just want to score more points **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/27/25 07:25 PM ET
If that happens, I'll deride DeRidder.**
KCHokie2 • 12/27/25 09:30 PM ET
de ridder is very inconsistent. He has struggled against better competition
millmtnhokie • 12/27/25 03:15 PM ET
Our 3rd string big Ugo is the one you will need to worry about this game**
HOOBball79 • 12/27/25 11:10 PM ET
Without Lawal, no
wahoo2023 • 12/27/25 12:40 PM ET
It is a fair take

Delusional

I'd rather read Ken Pomeroy, also a Hokie. Today's ratings: UVa #23, VT #67**

PS. at Texas #55 net win by 19 and uva was ahead by almost 30
HOOBball79 • 12/28/25 02:35 PM ET
But didn’t you barely beat elon at home by less than uva beat Maryland?
HOOBball79 • 12/28/25 02:28 PM ET
They beat Texas (9-4, No. 55 NET, No. 46 Ken Pom).

the issue is frontcourt depth with Lawal out
ShockWaveVT • 12/27/25 04:20 PM ET
Hansberry is a much better defender than Lawal

wahoo2023 • 12/27/25 02:58 PM ET
Totally agree...he struggles against real P5 athleticism...like Hampton**
GCHokie34 • 12/27/25 05:53 PM ET
On a roll today, love it. **
