Agree, nothing should suggest "negligence" and CMY together

I also don't believe that the difference in the way we played vs UVA had very little to do with the coaches prep or whatever. KC was, with the help of home, rise up and beat SP to a pulp in Cville. SP did the same at BBurg. I don't believe the UVA scouting plans were much different in either game. Nor did CMY nor CTB had much to do with it. It does not take "markedly better," athletes to execute on court in any given night. In those games we knew what they were doing, they were just better and setting screens than we were getting off them. And it is not because our players didn't have adequate scouting. What I saw was BC 2x and GT once teams playing desperate ball, win or die while we were not. Clemson is another matter when both teams seemed to be just off.

Any theories as to why we've struggled so much on the road?

Look at FT disparity home vs away

It is embarrassing how much HokiePro cries over the refs!**

I just gave you stats 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone have a link to FT disparity for teams at home vs. on the road?**

Several of our road Ls were very close and not lots of intentional fouling
hokiepro • 02/21/23 10:07 AM ET
Sure, never said it happened every game
Pylons • 02/21/23 10:32 AM ET
If you want the “they’re human” defense…sure it’s true
hokiepro • 02/21/23 10:40 AM ET
I don't...not what I'm talking about

It’s not just us
hokiepro • 02/21/23 04:45 PM ET
There are a variety.......

Different rims, different shooting backgrounds, pain in butt travel,

No bench, inexperience, PG that has to play all 40 minutes **

Any team without two of their top 7 rotation players will be inconsistent

it seems like in conference we play well ~ every other game. I don't want

More what the players do with the "plan" IMHO
VTCALS72 • 02/20/23 12:31 PM ET
I do hear what you are saying and we do have some limitations athletically.
goodbadugly • 02/20/23 12:41 PM ET
GT & BC scouting also showed they didn’t need to be closely guarded at 3 pt

and momentum shifts are harder to tame on the road. (i.e. @ Miami)**
goodbadugly • 02/20/23 12:12 PM ET
home advantage is a thing
Pylons • 02/20/23 11:09 AM ET
UNC also has a terrible split. Feel like defensive issues are the common...
CampLawHokie • 02/20/23 11:49 AM ET
not enough depth... hence the lineup adjustments on Saturday **
whatIpostlike • 02/20/23 11:12 AM ET
while true, I'm not sure how that explains road struggles
Pylons • 02/20/23 11:25 AM ET
the travel wears team out **
whatIpostlike • 02/20/23 11:29 AM ET
Mostly, the other teams seem to score more than we do **

Could be it. Maybe we need to get Fuente era "grit" shirts out of storage **

And reemphasize using synergy!**
