That's part of it. Team effort today, though.

Yeah, he had five. But even if he had zero, we still would have had 14. Besides turnovers, I think the main issue today was Neo trying to do too much. He's adjusting. New system. Different type of competition. He didn't do a good job of letting the game come to him. I was surprised he started at PG today. I figure when the real games start it will be Hammond. And the other issue was I think Tech probably had to play Lawal at the 5 too much because both Gurdak and Hansberry were in foul trouble. Dorn didn't dress, I assume because he has to sit out the first game, so they wanted to give all his minutes to Gurdak. ** Edited by Chris Coleman at 10/25/2025, 9:03:15 PM

Why shouldn't you put any stock in exhibitions/scrimmages?

Was Giltner the lead on this type of set/play implementation and counters?

Both teams are doing that same thing so it comes down to talent vs talent…

We don't know that Duquesne is the 9th best team

FWIW, Duquense was in the NCAA's in 2024.**

Tech's biggest issue is turnovers right now

Chris, that doesn’t matter. It was a scrimmage. 🙄**

Same issue we have had last two years?

We still employ Tobi Lawal. **

It looked like Duquesne defender - #1 had a plan to get neo’s face

There's a difference in being prepared enough to win a quality game...

To be clear, I would have been bummed if we had won by 2 as well but your
VTKev80 10/25/25 08:30 PM ET
I dont think I would have felt any different had VT lost by 20 or won by 90**
GCHokie34 10/25/25 08:32 PM ET
Wow. That was an extensive answer.
