If Dell had a 3-point line, he'd be VT's leading scorer, not Bimbo.
Will StewartAdmin • 04/21/25 01:40 PM ET
Wally Lancaster was another scorer that shot a lot of 2's from deep.**
HoakieCup • 04/22/25 06:35 AM ET

804Hokie • 04/21/25 02:10 PM ET
Agreed. Just think how many more 3- pointers he would have attempted. Just
santafe • 04/21/25 02:05 PM ET
That's why the Hornets were my favorite team as a kid.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/21/25 08:55 AM ET
Living in CLT, they are the NBA version of the "Sadness Machine". If there

HoakieCup • 04/21/25 07:23 AM ET
Gosh, on paper, that team looks so much better then just above .500
HOKIE MAGIC • 04/20/25 04:30 PM ET
I blame J.R. Reid**
Newt • 04/21/25 11:09 AM ET
As a kid who went to Green Run, happy to blame all Kemps-villains....
RRHokie90 • 04/21/25 02:16 PM ET
5 Virginians on team
Uncle Ed • 04/20/25 01:17 PM ET

Kendall Gill's passing still hurts.
Walkin` Willie • 04/20/25 11:18 AM ET
Hornets games were a blast in the early 90s.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/25 08:53 AM ET
What in the world are you talking about? **
HwoodHokie • 04/20/25 02:20 PM ET
Kendall Gill is still alive and kicking as far as I know...**

8792HOKIE • 04/20/25 01:38 PM ET
Yeah, my bad - Bobby Phills**
Walkin` Willie • 04/20/25 03:58 PM ET
So sad about Bobby. His widow & son & daughter live in our neighborhood.**
seacain • 04/20/25 08:41 PM ET
