I hate it when people claim a lack of effort
Or, not being ready to play.
What I saw was, we could not score inside. They were able to guard Hansbury and Lawal one on one and not have to help. And they switched everything on the perimeter so we couldn’t get good looks at threes. They made a nice adjustment to do this at halftime. Consequently, we could not score.
On the offensive end, they overpowered us one on one. And they shot the lights out despite being guarded pretty well.
There were lots of isolations on both ends of the floor. They won theirs. We lost ours.
That is a very good team, they played better than anyone we have played all year that isn’t named Duke. I have no idea how they were so bad earlier in the season. Their coach obviously figured things out, which is not surprising given his NBA experience.
It was a bad matchup for us, they were bigger and/or quicker at every position. Unlike Clemson. Or SMU or Syracuse.
We simply have to get some better athletes. We have some very skilled players, but we need bigger, quicker people. That may not be achievable at Virginia Tech.

It doesn’t matter. You don’t get drilled by a sub .500 team at home.
