I feel like we saw a produce that was less than the sum of the parts

this season. Too much individual play on offense, not enough off-ball movement on offense, and not enough help defense. Perhaps the players we had weren't capable of running the schemes Mike Young wants to run or the schemes take longer than a season to implement (as I've seen suggested), but ultimately, yes, I tend to look at the coach if the talent on a team isn't showing up in results. Just as I would look at the coach if the talent on a team is exceeded by team performance.

The talent gap between these teams and VT is huge. IDK if we can get there.

There is not a huge gap between Iowa Nebraska and Virginia Tech.

How many games did those two teams lose to last second half court shots? 😐**

VT wins that battle, though Nebraska nearly got on that board last Saturday
