GT game

I have like zero disappointment about yesterday. I felt our chances going in were very low, a more talented team on their homecourt with practically every other intangible pointing against us. We wanted the game but didn't truly need it, and desperation can be a great motivator . With that said, although no game at this point is truly a "must" , a home lost to GT , with what we got coming down the road, would be digging a hole that might be very hard to get out of. So let's hope the Cassell is rocking and we play more like we need the game as opposed to just want it.

Almost no margin for error. Pretty much must win vs GT, FSU, WFU & BC.

Would be ideal to have 20-21 wins going into ACCT. **

21 headed to selection Sunday and I’ll feel good about seeing our name**

We’ve already played Stanford and Cal in men’s basketball at Cassell.

Magical 20-win border puts us in the Large Dance of basketball country.
KCHokie2 • 01/25/26 09:46 PM ET
Maybe they’ll expand to 128 teams to help us down the road. Desperate**
JackDSML • 01/25/26 11:03 PM ET
We don’t play at Cal & Stanford
hokiepro • 01/25/26 03:29 PM ET
Wut?**
HwoodHokie • 01/25/26 03:12 PM ET
Certainly the most likely path to 20 wins plus a road W at NCSU or Miami**
HwoodHokie • 01/25/26 02:47 PM ET
Or Clemson or UNC…
hokiepro • 01/25/26 05:29 PM ET
And that was w/o TJ and, I think, Tobi(?)**
HokieHeartNSoul • 01/26/26 07:09 AM ET
Of course. Heck we can win at UVa but our best odds are at UM/NCSU**
HwoodHokie • 01/25/26 05:42 PM ET
Shot selection and opportunity was good. Couldn't get them to fall.**

We really miss a lot at the basket. It's weird how much.**

Louisville length on D did it's job ... often**
hokienole • 01/25/26 03:58 PM ET
They weren’t any “longer” than other teams we shot much better against
hokiepro • 01/25/26 06:37 PM ET
Will check. We missed a bunch of should be easy shots. OUCH!**
