Come on - you really think no other fan base boos a player?

The booing is uncalled for but he needs ignore it - he’s a professional!

Further amplification of failure of this fan base to live up to its hype**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:10 PM ET
I think the boos after Neo's shot was the fact that Neo had gotten fouled.**
PennHokie • 01/31/26 03:44 PM ET
The main boos came from the students when he got subbed after the miss
MVIII • 01/31/26 03:54 PM ET
It wasn’t boos it was a Huge round of applause when JB replaced him
AnotherTechW • 01/31/26 07:13 PM ET
From my observation, they were booing ref. **
saret • 01/31/26 05:22 PM ET
You'd be alone in that assumption **
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:46 PM ET
Perhaps. Was watching from home and in that period of the game, there....
PennHokie • 01/31/26 03:48 PM ET
I was there, and there were a lot of missed calls. Overall,
saret • 01/31/26 05:24 PM ET
He put himself in a tough place with the banger out of the gates
VBpescador • 01/31/26 03:39 PM ET
It happens elsewhere, don’t be so dramatic.
GUS • 01/31/26 03:33 PM ET
There it is...one time...in a different sport
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:34 PM ET
It definitely happens at other places, but no Tech fans should be booing
dallasvt • 01/31/26 05:09 PM ET
Guess that makes it right...**
TheFacts • 01/31/26 03:43 PM ET
Let's call it what it is...Neo is a paid pro who is attending VT and word
SCHokie80 • 01/31/26 03:27 PM ET
In Neo's defense, the defense is ALOT better in the college than in the NBA**
PennHokie • 01/31/26 03:50 PM ET
In your professional opinion...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:28 PM ET
Virtually every season Duke Basketball has 2,3, 4 or even 5 legit "one
SCHokie80 • 01/31/26 03:48 PM ET
Khaman Maulach was picked 10th from Duke last year..
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:08 PM ET
He’s still on an NBA team. That counts **
VT Pez4Life • 01/31/26 05:00 PM ET
So if Avdalas makes an NBA roster he's NBA ready...got it**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 05:03 PM ET
QED**

CMY is paid to win BB games and pursue TEAM championships...
SCHokie80 • 01/31/26 03:57 PM ET
You could fire MY tomorrow and it would have zero impact on Avdalas**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:01 PM ET
Hated hearing the boos although methinks they were outliers and not
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/31/26 03:20 PM ET
It’s annoying that Tech fans are booing him. That said, welcome to pro ball
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:25 PM ET
Do you get paid to do your job?**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:31 PM ET
Of course. And when someone has performance issues, it gets addressed
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:40 PM ET
Do you really think "honest conversations" are not happening?**
TheFacts • 01/31/26 03:42 PM ET
No clue. But it doesn’t look like it from here.
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:47 PM ET
sure it's happening. if i don't perform then i get let go.
Windows NT • 01/31/26 03:45 PM ET
Do you tend to get your evaluations done...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:12 PM ET
Yeah, they are called managers, lol.**
40ozDistrict • 01/31/26 06:44 PM ET
If you have managers who have no managerial authority...get out**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 06:46 PM ET
Relax man. I've been retired for 5 years. **
40ozDistrict • 01/31/26 06:50 PM ET
fans are not evaluating neo. that's cmy's job
Windows NT • 01/31/26 04:53 PM ET
Lol no one was booing MY**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:54 PM ET
the tiki torches and pitch forks crowd will
Windows NT • 01/31/26 04:57 PM ET
Fellas it's too rough to feed ya...**
40ozDistrict • 01/31/26 09:52 PM ET
Then despite me having zero clue how to evaluate your job...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:42 PM ET
I would say the fans are customers.
CVCHokie • 01/31/26 06:20 PM ET
Let's say I work in travel retail as a replenishment analyst...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 06:31 PM ET
I think your analogy is off
CVCHokie • 01/31/26 06:54 PM ET
OK let's be more clear...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 07:33 PM ET
You've missed the point of my post
CVCHokie • 01/31/26 08:12 PM ET
It’s not that hard. The stats tell us that he sucks at shooting threes
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:46 PM ET
Theyre on the bubble as he goes through a slump
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:47 PM ET
Definitely not the booing. I’ve never been in favor of that, as I’ve said
Zanderhokie • 01/31/26 03:52 PM ET
Every school has outliers in their fan base...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:22 PM ET
GC, I don't like the booing either. I'm curious, since you seem to be MBB
SCHokie80 • 01/31/26 03:37 PM ET
whatever the amt - he wont be back next season. if he's not drafted -
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 04:50 PM ET
He'll be a Hokie next season.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/31/26 05:07 PM ET
i hope so. hammond has improved so much from coming back. neo can too**
Windows NT • 01/31/26 05:25 PM ET
I hope Hammond comes back and doesn't declare for NBA **
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/31/26 05:30 PM ET
No clue...neither does anyone else**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:37 PM ET
Hear boos his second airball from close range. Comes with the territory & $**
MDHokie79 • 01/31/26 03:17 PM ET
How come it only comes with the territory at VT?
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:20 PM ET
Come on - you really think no other fan base boos a player? ◄
133299Hokie • 01/31/26 04:12 PM ET
We literally have examples from every player who has left VT...
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 04:13 PM ET
Naithan George, a junior point guard for Syracuse, was recently booed by

Garbage human beings**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:36 PM ET
then the fans should've booed cmy
Windows NT • 01/31/26 03:38 PM ET
How to differentiate?**
TomTurkey • 01/31/26 04:18 PM ET
good point**
Windows NT • 01/31/26 05:00 PM ET
Can get personal with names and stuff
TomTurkey • 01/31/26 05:02 PM ET
Or...they could go to therapy and become functioning members of society**
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:39 PM ET
you think VT is the only fan base that boo'ed a player?
VermontDDS • 01/31/26 03:25 PM ET
So it happens once every 3 years?
GCHokie34 • 01/31/26 03:27 PM ET
It happens all the time. You’re actually clueless for a “guru”**
cbhokie1 • 01/31/26 09:03 PM ET
it hapended this month**
Windows NT • 01/31/26 03:36 PM ET
Good points GC. Lot of frustration in the fanbase right now I suppose**
MDHokie79 • 01/31/26 03:24 PM ET
I just read that. Thanks for posting. JRob would know.**
WestEndHokie39 • 01/31/26 03:16 PM ET
I didn't hear any boos, but these guys are getting paid to play, so results
JoseyWales • 01/31/26 03:15 PM ET
Doesn't matter
HwHokie • 01/31/26 03:17 PM ET
Whatever you need to do to justify garbage human behavior**
