The Duke guy fouled him, then he threw up an air-ball....goofy play

I know that Neo is not liked as a player
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:17 PM ET
Unfortunately the Providence game set an unrealistic expectation that is
Hokie Rebel • 01/31/26 03:33 PM ET
He’s just turned 19. Hope he’s not reading these boards. **
HokieHeartNSoul • 01/31/26 02:59 PM ET
Wants his cake and eat it too?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/31/26 02:34 PM ET

HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:36 PM ET
I think the fundamental issue on this board
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/31/26 02:41 PM ET
Ah
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:51 PM ET
I doubt he stays after season is over…
jagerhokie • 01/31/26 02:29 PM ET
Where would he go? Back to Greece?
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/31/26 02:38 PM ET
While it's hard to say with certainty who was booing what, I thought
Tank • 01/31/26 02:25 PM ET
I thought it was the airball where he went into the lane and he may have
HwoodHokie • 01/31/26 02:27 PM ET
Yeah, that was the play, but I didn't see a foul. May have missed it.**
Tank • 01/31/26 02:29 PM ET
I didn't see a foul either, but I thought the shot was so far off that the
Nortazhokie • 01/31/26 03:26 PM ET
I wouldn’t say he is not liked as a player, but he did make some critical
uber hokie • 01/31/26 02:24 PM ET
Discouraged by negative comments and he wants to play in the NBA?!?!!?! **
DDhokie31 • 01/31/26 02:21 PM ET
I thought they were booing ref?**
HwoodHokie • 01/31/26 02:19 PM ET
Me too.**
Nortazhokie • 01/31/26 03:02 PM ET
Not sure**
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:22 PM ET
Me neither. Thought maybe Neo got fouled during the shot and crowd
HwoodHokie • 01/31/26 02:25 PM ET
Also correct me if I'm wrong
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:17 PM ET
Was listening to radio broadcast and watching the TV… there was boing
VTKev80 • 01/31/26 02:45 PM ET
I thought it was due to his shot that went out of bounds.
1MetroHokie • 01/31/26 02:25 PM ET
Hope so
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:27 PM ET
Not sure about the booing... but if he's a 1st round guy
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 02:21 PM ET
Pretty Sure It Was the Bad Ref Call, NOT at Him ◄
vtchem75 • 01/31/26 03:01 PM ET
Well, he can go to the NBA G-League combine in the offseason like Lawal did
GO_HOKIES_GO • 01/31/26 02:41 PM ET
Right, if he's truly a first rounder...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:25 PM ET
😂**
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:41 PM ET
he has to expect the target to be a LOT bigger
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 02:37 PM ET
He impacts the game in other ways...fans are just incapable of seeing it
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:38 PM ET
Good luck educating the general public.
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 02:54 PM ET
His defense has actually picked up...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:57 PM ET
so what is the answer then?
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 03:13 PM ET
What exactly would you say.....
2hhoop3 • 01/31/26 02:45 PM ET
…his dribbling is pretty solid**
chumley • 01/31/26 03:11 PM ET
I've answered all of those ad nauseum**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:46 PM ET
Then maybe......
2hhoop3 • 01/31/26 02:48 PM ET
Am I a monkey?**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:52 PM ET
Honestly........
2hhoop3 • 01/31/26 02:57 PM ET
GCHokie is the most condescending and snarky dude on this board by far.
DDhokie31 • 01/31/26 03:11 PM ET
I believe Hokiepro takes the cake
HwHokie • 01/31/26 03:21 PM ET
Mute me lil guy...**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:15 PM ET
LOL your personality is amusing to me. **
DDhokie31 • 01/31/26 03:18 PM ET
GC, Neo is struggling
Walkin` Willie • 01/31/26 02:44 PM ET
What he does to impact the game is hard to explain to fans who have never
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 02:57 PM ET
To be fair, we always fall apart down the stretch with or without Neo.
HokieGator • 02/01/26 01:08 PM ET
Uh.... I'm trying to understand your post.
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 04:09 PM ET
When have I said he isn't struggling...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:51 PM ET
Neo had a wrap around back brace on while on the bench
RJHokie • 01/31/26 02:48 PM ET
And here comes the mysterious injury that causes performance issues.
VTMONEY94 • 01/31/26 02:49 PM ET
He's had every opportunity to float that narrative...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 02:56 PM ET
big picture, the reaction he's seeing from some fans is likely going
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 03:41 PM ET
That's simply not true
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:45 PM ET
who was treated poorly at VT and transferred?
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 03:51 PM ET
Pedulla, Maddox, Rice, Rechsteiner, Collins, Bamisile...etc**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:02 PM ET
Rodney Rice... seems like there is a lot more to that story.
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 04:15 PM ET
They loved him at Maryland...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:17 PM ET
Pedulla, for one. **
RJHokie • 01/31/26 03:52 PM ET
Pedulla got paid... thought that was his main reasoning for jumping
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 03:59 PM ET
No one is commenting on it being the primary reason for leaving...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:18 PM ET
I believe I heard where Pedulla had death threats.
RJHokie • 01/31/26 04:02 PM ET
GF34, I enjoy your expertise and answers to ridiculously uninformed
ancient alien 2018 • 01/31/26 03:12 PM ET
I am not saying this specifically about him. In general, we see this all
VTMONEY94 • 01/31/26 02:59 PM ET
Oh I agree completely
HwHokie • 01/31/26 02:23 PM ET
They’re paid money now no different than professional. People are allowed
VT Pez4Life • 01/31/26 02:36 PM ET
We can all agree that he is struggling
