I initially thought this team under achieved until I figured out this stat. We were 3-9 against teams we tied with or who were ahead of us in the ACC standings. We were 5-1 against teams below us in the standings. Bottom line, no matter what you want to blame it on, coaching, injuries, bad luck, poor team chemistry, we realistically could only beat teams who had worse records than us. Throw in what we thought were good wins at the time (Providence and South Carolina - who turned out to be at the bottom of their league), we just couldnt beat the better teams. But that is VT sports in a nutshell, in all sports. Still love the hokies, but the truth is what it is. Since joining the ACC mens basketball wins ACC games at a .446 clip. Young has won .46 of his ACC games. This year we won .44 of our ACC games. That is who we are.

That’s pretty much true of all mainstream men’s sports at VT.
