Look at the picture you posted below, the defender is behind him the whole

time. That’s not contested. Letting someones best player run uncontested to half court for a wide open shot while you run behind them is not doing your job.

Love Hammond but that’s on him - horribly defended**

A big man should have been at the 3pt line ready for that. Looked like they
Hokie Rebel • 01/14/26 11:29 PM ET
Yes, he had a smooth gliding open lane for that shot. **
TboneParkerVT • 01/15/26 12:18 AM ET
Coach set up the defense didn’t he?
sarg003 • 01/14/26 11:22 PM ET
he did the right thing not to foul him, but got beat getting to the ball**
nkhooch • 01/14/26 11:22 PM ET
He didn’t need to be that close to him in the inbound
North Main Hokie • 01/14/26 11:25 PM ET
So, what are the made % of 50-foot vs. 70 foot shots? So, we
nkhooch • 01/15/26 01:58 AM ET
Him being that close was what forced Miller to catch it below the FT line..

Man, you always ruin no knowledge basketball takes with facts and truth.**

He did but it never should have come down to that. Sad and starting to
VTMONEY94 • 01/14/26 11:30 PM ET
We coached to allow their best player to shoot a wide open half court shot?**
sarg003 • 01/14/26 11:30 PM ET
Wide open half court shot...
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:31 PM ET
Do you hear yourself? Wide open and for their best player at that**
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:32 PM ET
This is what youre calling a "wide open" half court shot...**
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:36 PM ET
Considering the defender is behind him and it’s literally in rhythym
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:40 PM ET
Even if it were a layup ot would be considered a contested layup
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:43 PM ET
Look at the picture you posted below, the defender is behind him the whole ◄
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:59 PM ET
So youre saying he should've cut him off, allowing Miller to draw a foul
GCHokie34 • 01/15/26 12:05 AM ET
I would say he was in rhythm with a clear look - why no double on him?**
AnotherTechW • 01/14/26 11:37 PM ET
From where exactly?
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:39 PM ET
They guarded inbounds why not use that defender ? Don’t even let him get it
AnotherTechW • 01/14/26 11:42 PM ET
They used Avdalas to discourage the pass down the court...
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:46 PM ET
Are we going to pretend Avdalas is fast enough to chase down Miller?
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:44 PM ET
I would think we do all we could
AnotherTechW • 01/14/26 11:55 PM ET
Even tbe announcers said it...
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:57 PM ET
That is absolutely not true
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:29 PM ET
Their best player caught the ball with his back to the basket w/ 2 sec left
GCHokie34 • 01/14/26 11:32 PM ET
It’s those damn MFT that have me shaking my head**
Glen Allen Hokie • 01/14/26 11:37 PM ET
So giving him a free lane across half court and wide open shot
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:36 PM ET
GC is never wrong. Didn’t you know that?**
JediHokie • 01/14/26 11:37 PM ET
Haha yeah he coached so he’s the only one who knows what he’s talking about**
cbhokie1 • 01/14/26 11:41 PM ET
There should have been someone coming to help on that play to contest the
Hokie Rebel • 01/14/26 11:31 PM ET
Agreed, and he knew exactly when to release it at buzzer. I would have had
