It wasn’t boos it was a Huge round of applause when JB replaced him

On the bench after Neo talked to CF and he dapped him on the head like keep your head up.

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

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

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

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
