Of course. Still, that was the coaching staff’s manning plan, and

then not having that player available at all is a big change in itself. So, based on that change, my opinion is it is ‘more likely’ to have made a considerable difference rather than a suggestion it isn’t relative because it can’t be proven.

Observations from last night from the second row
Squatro • 01/19/23 12:21 PM ET
Warning: the Basile stats crew will be in to browbeat you for that
Tombo • 01/19/23 01:33 PM ET
How would Rice have made a huge difference as a true freshman
VAHokie89 • 01/19/23 01:21 PM ET
He’s bigger & already as strong or stronger than Pedulla
hokiepro • 01/19/23 11:19 PM ET
Just hype and wishful thinking until he shows it**
VAHokie89 • 01/21/23 10:07 AM ET
Seriously doubt he’s stronger than Pedulla since Mike Young
RJHokie • 01/19/23 11:37 PM ET
How do you know he wouldn’t have?**
NC Hoke • 01/19/23 05:39 PM ET
I don’t know either way, but..
VPI63 • 01/19/23 11:17 PM ET
don't but it is the positive that needs proving, not the negative
VTCALS72 • 01/19/23 09:19 PM ET
Neither needs to be proved, both are opinions. What isn’t opinion is that
NC Hoke • 01/20/23 04:28 AM ET
And still opinion that an untried freshman, although a highly rated one
VTCALS72 • 01/20/23 09:30 AM ET
Of course. Still, that was the coaching staff’s manning plan, and ◄

SP will be fine, especially when he is in his 10th year like Wong. 🤓**
VPI63 • 01/19/23 11:20 PM ET
Quicker than that I hope. Maybe even next year
VTCALS72 • 01/20/23 09:32 AM ET
I think it is more of a little thing can help create a big thing. This
IB4TECH • 01/19/23 04:46 PM ET
He is NOT just your average freshman; he played in a top HS conference**
hokie1120 • 01/19/23 02:11 PM ET
He must have been awesome in his debut against Cuse, right?**
Foxhall Hokie • 01/19/23 04:54 PM ET
As I said above
Squatro • 01/19/23 02:08 PM ET
I agree. Pedulla needs some breaks**
Durham Hokie • 01/19/23 02:11 PM ET
We'll never know **
TomTurkey • 01/19/23 01:56 PM ET
Pedulla couldn't guard Kihei Clark all night. Announcers made note of it. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/19/23 01:06 PM ET
He'll get another chance at Cassell! **
VANESSAHOKIE • 01/19/23 05:42 PM ET
Pedulla is a tough player who is only going to get better and better.
LXNTN_HOKIE • 01/19/23 02:07 PM ET
So who guarded Kihei last year?Storm?Alleyne?He didn't do much in either
HokieBrazil • 01/19/23 01:36 PM ET
As much as it is who guarded him last year-
wahoo2023 • 01/20/23 12:37 AM ET
While I think you make some good points
Squatro • 01/20/23 02:05 PM ET
Nahiem was a solid defender, missing him in these situations.**
4dhokies • 01/19/23 05:06 PM ET
I don’t know. But I do know
Squatro • 01/19/23 01:57 PM ET
Very true. And they did NOT play their bigs hardly any to clear the lane**
hokie1120 • 01/19/23 02:14 PM ET
UVA's players kept getting the ball with easy, obvious angles to the basket
VAHokie89 • 01/19/23 01:22 PM ET
I asked last night. Who did Cattoor guard?
TomTurkey • 01/19/23 01:16 PM ET
Beekman. A better matchup physically.
Squatro • 01/19/23 01:24 PM ET
Without Rice's unfortunate injury, we could have had a two-headed monster
LXNTN_HOKIE • 01/19/23 02:19 PM ET
Makes sense. Didn't listen on-line and wondered. Thanks **
