That is the question, are our opponents better than we thought, did we not

play up to our ability, or did we lose because our team is not healthy. OR combination of that? I argue the latter, but we wont know if our losing streak is based on Cattoors absence till he comes back and we can relate it to the games he was available. I just don't buy the reason of "our schedule is skewed in facing all the tough opponents, look at the standings" when our team was favored in some of the games and the expectations was to beat them earlier in the season. And you can see that sentiment of expected wins on this board when people still say we can go 5-2 or 4-3 in the next 7 when we are still without Cattoor.

Really hard to see a path to 10-10 in conference this year with our SOS
soflahokie • 01/17/23 12:43 PM ET
Heck, we just went through a tough stretch
EDGEMAN • 01/17/23 09:08 AM ET
Yeah seeing maybe two wins here. Don't know where people see more than 3**
HokieRat • 01/17/23 12:14 PM ET
13 of our 20 ACC Games are vs teams in top 8 of the standings
hokiepro • 01/17/23 02:53 PM ET
We are partly to blame for that unbalanced, "tough" schedule.
HokieRat • 01/17/23 06:16 PM ET
So how are we to blame for teams being better than we thought ?

If healthy, 5-2 isn't unlikely**
GCHokie34 • 01/17/23 09:04 AM ET
Possible if we stay healthy, but...

We have really been hit by the injury bug this season**
EDGEMAN • 01/17/23 12:47 PM ET
Besides Rice, and just recently Hunter, who has been injured? **
WildTurkE • 01/17/23 01:15 PM ET
Rice again **
hokiepro • 01/17/23 06:33 PM ET
CC said he just heard a rumor about another starter being injured.
EDGEMAN • 01/17/23 01:28 PM ET
Not a starter.

Here comes the fifth metatarsal….**
vatechcowpatty • 01/17/23 12:26 PM ET
Not that you asked, but I'd consider that unlikely for any ACC team

I’m just hoping K Clark has his normal 0-4 pts of production
GreenvilleVT • 01/17/23 11:33 AM ET

804Hokie • 01/17/23 11:21 AM ET
4-3 in those 7 gives us a chance
