VT is shooting ~70% on the year from FT...

Pretty much the national average They shot 87.5% today which is way above normal...so much so, that it would rank 1st in the nation by over 5% VT shot 61% from FT line against SMU, which is way below normal...so much so that it would rank dead last nationally Those 2 games are 3 days apart Now...either you believe there is variance from game to game or you think something a coach said in the last 3 days took VT from the worst shooting team in the country to the best Genuinely dont care, youre welcome to choose what you believe

NSIR overall 87.5% free throw %. 28/32. SOMEbody's been practising!

I hope they do every practice. Cost us the SMU game. **
GBOHokie • 01/17/26 04:55 PM ET
If both teams players shot their normal FT percentage, VT still loses
GCHokie34 • 01/17/26 05:10 PM ET
Missing front end of 1 & 1 is like a TO. Worse than simply missing 1 FT
marcbvtgm • 01/17/26 09:53 PM ET
agree to disagree on that specific point. FTs in the last 10 seconds
Glen Allen Hokie • 01/17/26 05:33 PM ET
I see. So we make those front ends of one and ones we lose? Yes on
GBOHokie • 01/17/26 05:32 PM ET
ANd if gthe 95% FT shooter makes his we still lose. I don't get your point
UTPr0sim • 01/17/26 09:39 PM ET
I sincerely hope not...

Mike Young's athletes & system seem to cause ND issues. I like that better

That's fake science, coach. Unless, of course, the success or failure of

The fumbled in bounds and allowing a alley op on the inbounds
VermontDDS • 01/17/26 05:26 PM ET
Very much agree **
GCHokie34 • 01/17/26 05:41 PM ET
this squad needs to get that gear that finishes game off
VermontDDS • 01/17/26 06:53 PM ET
Oh come on tell the truth
Vippie1 • 01/17/26 04:40 PM ET
For some reason people can’t understand this…
3Manysons • 01/17/26 04:36 PM ET
Or in golf. Not practicing the short game. Driving for show only **

How can nobody do that? Our guy steps to the line, is he thinking about
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 04:43 PM ET
There's individual development and team development...
GCHokie34 • 01/17/26 04:50 PM ET
I don't think I ever suggested they all practice free throws together with
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 04:53 PM ET
I dont think anyone suggested that...
GCHokie34 • 01/17/26 04:57 PM ET
I think you think I thought that the coaches

I bet I meant somebody in the dining hall. Or in a classroom. Nobody
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 05:20 PM ET
For sure!
GCHokie34 • 01/17/26 05:29 PM ET
I sure as hell wish I'd said it that way when I started this thread. **
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 05:31 PM ET
Was 24/24 w/ 6:00 to go**
astrohokie • 01/17/26 03:56 PM ET
Yep, almost certainly practicing exactly the same way as before SMU.
Pylons • 01/17/26 03:55 PM ET
What do you think the mean the team regresses to is?**
Va AandM • 01/17/26 04:20 PM ET
We're currently a 72.5% FT shooting team.
Pylons • 01/17/26 04:25 PM ET
But hardly humdrum variation.**
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 04:12 PM ET
Whatever. It didn't change because of a few days of practicing **
Pylons • 01/17/26 04:15 PM ET
So it's conundrum variation?**

astrohokie • 01/17/26 03:55 PM ET
“Practising”? Did you move to Great Britain while we weren’t looking?**
WestEndHokie39 • 01/17/26 03:45 PM ET
LOL. Have watched so much Acorn and Britbox it just came naturally.**
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 04:10 PM ET
I enjoy the British term “brilliant” and the spelling “colour”**
WestEndHokie39 • 01/17/26 06:32 PM ET
There are ao many.**
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 06:33 PM ET
Don’t worry, 50% cannot spell anyway.**
JRHokie73 • 01/17/26 04:44 PM ET
I always thought that was 'any way', until spellcheck (& even that
PhotoHokieNC • 01/17/26 04:48 PM ET
Either way, I guess that I am in the 50%.**
