taking care of the ball, playing defense, and making FTs when you're ahead. It's defending and making shots when you're behind. Good teams do it, and get into the NCAAT. Mediocre teams don't, and don't. I recognize that VT was snake bit with injuries. Which is a damn shame. Because, what could have been.... But here we are. Again.

Without 4-0 in OT games, VT wouldn't be close. -- marcbvtgm Feb 24, 2026 at 11:40 AM ET
