Agree, but he can be so much better than he is playing, looks hurt to me.

I get that teams have adjusted to him, but he looks slower than when he started. I hope he can find the next gear sooner rather than later, but maybe that is just me.

That’s definitely what they should have done.
RJHokie • 01/07/26 10:02 PM ET
Own it and get better from it.**

I do not see Neo as anywhere near to a NBA player yet. He is young and will

One thing as a fanbase we need to stop doing is overhyping our players
VAHokie89 • 01/07/26 10:40 PM ET
His offense is fine - it’s his defense that gets me**
AnotherTechW • 01/07/26 10:12 PM ET
People said the same about NAW...
GCHokie34 • 01/07/26 10:04 PM ET
What would be Neo’s role in the NBA?…
BROman Hokie • 01/07/26 10:19 PM ET
VT is not mediocre...people are just butthurt over a loss**
GCHokie34 • 01/07/26 10:25 PM ET
To be fair.
SC_Hokie • 01/08/26 12:54 AM ET
the Texas ncaa game was pretty disappointing....and had a lot more at stake**

There miiiiiiight be a recency bias there...**
GCHokie34 • 01/08/26 09:01 AM ET
I’m not sure. The odds that they hit that shot were probably higher than
SC_Hokie • 01/08/26 12:37 PM ET
More speaking about any other crushing losses might be forgotten with time**
GCHokie34 • 01/08/26 12:40 PM ET
That pretty much sums it up**
VAHokie89 • 01/07/26 10:40 PM ET
Gonna sting for a bit

Stech • 01/07/26 10:13 PM ET
That's precisely why he will be drafted...
GCHokie34 • 01/07/26 10:24 PM ET
I can see that happening, I just hope he learns to play faster now at VT!
Stech • 01/07/26 10:34 PM ET
He might need to avoid playing too fast. That speeds up decision making
VAHokie89 • 01/07/26 10:41 PM ET
Agree he needs to keep control, but players are too fast to play slow.
Stech • 01/07/26 10:47 PM ET
No, continue playing solid basketball. They tried to lazily run out the

Agree on coaches, but terrible clock management at the end, good for you?
Stech • 01/07/26 09:53 PM ET
Shooting 3s early in the shot clock is a weird way to run out the clock**
BROman Hokie • 01/07/26 09:47 PM ET
It was horrendous and shows the coaches don't have control of the players.
Stech • 01/07/26 09:56 PM ET
Agree…it was obvious they had no clue what they needed to do and calm down.
Femoyer74 • 01/07/26 10:23 PM ET
Bingo!! You coach momentum as much as anything, I love Mike, but he didn't.
