What I saw...

We have a bunch of greyhounds out there that like to run. That’s when we are at our best. I think CMY is trying to slow them down but I just don’t see any set plays going on. On defense, we can’t seem to stop the slash to the basket. This needs to be addressed. Yet, we still won …. But after these 2 games, I’ve lowered my expectations. The biggest problem is an effective defense. Gurdek is a pleasant surprise… right now I think he brings more to the table than Dorn… in fact, I think he saved our bacon tonight. Lots of talent … hope CMY can fix these problems. 🤔 ** Edited by VPI63 at 11/19/2025, 10:55:00 PM ** Edited by VPI63 at 11/20/2025, 5:39:15 AM

i think the last two team bodied VT players to slow the game down
VermontDDS • 11/20/25 10:32 AM ET
I guess, but those teams were a bit overmatched athletically.
marcbvtgm • 11/20/25 03:13 PM ET
MY is slowing them down, to improve efficiency and get wins. 5-0. And
hokienole • 11/20/25 01:16 AM ET
VT is highly efficient in transition, not sure why MY would slow down...
GoldCoast • 11/20/25 10:25 AM ET
i actually think MY isnt coaching to win in these past 2 games, but using

"Efficiency" is a word that has been thrown around a lot lately.
Gobbler Guru • 11/20/25 12:57 PM ET
My biggest takeaway tonight was that Hammond and Gurdak...
Gobbler-100 • 11/20/25 12:34 AM ET
Hammond was MUCH better than vs Charlotte. I suspect he got dressed down.**
marcbvtgm • 11/20/25 03:14 PM ET
Biggest thing for Hammond was ...

Agreed. This defense is too soft. The drives to the basket are going
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/19/25 11:03 PM ET
We’ll know who we are after 9 games?
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 08:09 AM ET
Yes. We will know if we are in consideration for the tournament.
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 09:02 AM ET
Is that what happened when we won the ACC a few years ago?**
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 09:57 AM ET
Remember we only made the NCAA because we won the ACC Tournament
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 09:59 AM ET
Well, I’ll cheer like crazy next week.
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 11:33 AM ET
You may not have noticed but the rules changed a few years ago
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 11:38 AM ET
Here is some help.
GreenvilleVT • 11/21/25 07:00 AM ET
There is considerable dialogue on this board
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/21/25 09:04 AM ET
You seriously believe that?**
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 11:40 AM ET
It is a fact. If you take the time to peruse articles covering college
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 11:44 AM ET
Right.
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 11:54 AM ET
I said the first 10 games, our current 5 plus 5 more.
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 12:06 PM ET
Hey, I’m a Nigerian dictator.
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 12:12 PM ET
Any reason why you are being a jerk?
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/20/25 12:15 PM ET
Because you try to come off as a basketball expert but it is clear you
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 09:56 PM ET
I’ll make you deal
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/21/25 10:22 AM ET
I’m wondering if Dorn is available this weekend against Miami.
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 07:05 AM ET
Why wouldn't he be?**
marcbvtgm • 11/20/25 03:15 PM ET
You realize our floor leader didn’t play tonight?🙄**
HokieHeartNSoul • 11/19/25 11:00 PM ET
Let him run with it, he’s got Jay Bilas and Joe Leonard worried about their
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 10:01 AM ET
Some of the takes on this board after a game are beyond sad.**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/19/25 11:23 PM ET
Indeed.**
HokieHeartNSoul • 11/20/25 09:22 AM ET
I approve this message **
HokiesACC2004 • 11/20/25 05:21 AM ET
Who? Why?**
HokieDelNorte • 11/19/25 11:07 PM ET
They didn’t run sets (they ran a ton, some nice ones fo Lawal), “soft”…
GoldCoast • 11/19/25 11:31 PM ET
Hansberry…shouldn’t be out long**
WestEndHokie39 • 11/19/25 11:27 PM ET
You realize Bryant is a sub #300 team?
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/19/25 11:05 PM ET
They made the ncaa tourney last year and are probably a better team this
GreenvilleVT • 11/20/25 07:12 AM ET
Still Division 1 **
HokiesACC2004 • 11/20/25 05:21 AM ET
They got some talent**
40ozDistrict • 11/20/25 12:12 AM ET
And VT didn't. You realize this time of the year your statistics are
ancient alien 2018 • 11/19/25 11:20 PM ET
You realize these ranking algos aren't worth the time is takes to . . .
MidloHokie • 11/19/25 11:08 PM ET
Agree - they won’t ever be confused with a P5 team but way better than 300 **
GoldCoast • 11/19/25 11:39 PM ET
Exactly…**
