And what do you call a team that "flashes talent"...

...of being a R32 team? That is, playing at our best, we play like a team in the 25-40 range. At our worst we get dogwalked by VCU, require a miracle to beat Elon at home, and blow an unblowable lead to a borderline top 70 team. So what is that team *actually*? What is their average performance likely to be? Ceiling is about 25-35. Floor is about 90-100. What are they? They're probably about a low 60s type team. Kenpom has us 61 today and that's probably just about right. IIWII.

Weren’t soft vs UVA. Idk what that was last 3:00**
hokiepro 01/08/26 12:47 PM ET
I mean we absolutely were soft against UVa, our 2OT collapse...
Gobbler-100 01/08/26 01:04 PM ET
No the 2nd OT was 90% UVA and one missed FT

Neo took a fadeaway 3 with a little over a minute left rather than drive it
Gobbler-100 01/08/26 02:47 PM ET
Yeah. Ben didn’t foul that guy but they call that when teams are trying to
hokiepro 01/08/26 03:13 PM ET
We have talent, but must play for 40 minutes & make 90+% FTs.**

They might get it together and sneak into the NIT as a 5 or 6 seed...

We flash talent of a round of 32 caliber team. But make enough mistakes
