So I think theres a gap between what people think you need...

Vs what you actually need in order to be where VT needs to be How many points per possession does VT need to be better in order to be undefeated in the ACC with only 2 losses overall? VT could do literally nothing fundamentally change who they are as a team and be 4-0 in the ACC...all if a couple shots dont fall So when we talk about what does VT need to do, it isnt a drastic change between where they are and where they want to be to accomplish their goals An increase in 0.02 ppp gets them to 3-1 in the ACC. An increase in 0.04 gets them to 4-0 An increase of 0.04 would move them up exactly 2 spots in adjusted efficiency But they'd be 15-2 (4-0) and likely ranked So...how far off are they really and how.much do they need to improve?

we don't have a rim protector, other then that we're solid on D

Not only VT lacks a rim protector, but it’s also so easy to get there. **

We're No. 63 in adjusted defensive efficiency.

I'd be curious what the stats actually say but it seems our defensive

The Hokies have been without either Johnson (their best defender)...
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:06 AM ET
So how can we expect the offensive efficiency to improve?
