Because Basketball. It happens.

That's what makes a deep run in the Tournament so fun. Hope we make it again. But I would also say most of us wished we at least got that first win, so you aren't out of left field lamenting the result. Sigh

hokiepro • 08/07/22 06:48 AM ET

They were physical and physical play is allowed in the tourney. They also

It happens. UNC ended the season on an epic run. If not for a historic
86TechHokie • 08/05/22 03:37 PM ET
I would have said if Bacot had not been hurt UNC would have won it all.

You ever heard of a letdown?
hoosnowahokie • 08/05/22 11:03 AM ET
Worst POTD! where did this negativity come from? Dude, VT MBB r ACC Champs!
Scream_On_D • 08/05/22 12:13 AM ET
I did say "Winning the 2022 ACC Tournament Championship was great".
YBYSAIAHokie • 08/05/22 01:25 PM ET
negativity is negativity. Game was 140 days ago. You've posted >140 times
Scream_On_D • 08/05/22 07:22 PM ET
It's not negative to ask the forum why they think we lost a game.
YBYSAIAHokie • 08/06/22 10:11 AM ET
Texas was Clemson with better players
VaTechHokiesACC • 08/04/22 07:59 PM ET
We were outplayed.
EDGEMAN • 08/06/22 08:09 PM ET
It was an unfortunate ending to the season
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 08/04/22 06:09 PM ET
Hey RZV, what's your take on Jaydon Young? TIA!**

Things unaccounted by teams’ records entering a game
Squatro • 08/05/22 11:17 AM ET
Agree ... that game just kind of got away from VT and Texas ...
vt90 • 08/05/22 09:16 AM ET
Poor preparation or poor execution. Or just a physically imposing team?**
N2VT2 • 08/04/22 08:42 PM ET
Have to wonder if the ACC should allow "more contact?"
EDGEMAN • 08/05/22 08:13 AM ET
That question has been asked for decades as ACC has always been viewed as
133743Hokie • 08/05/22 06:18 PM ET
For a down year, the ACC still had two Final Four teams...
Bmackattack • 08/05/22 12:11 PM ET
Bad match up, Beard is a great defensive coach with time to prep...
vtbball80 • 08/04/22 06:01 PM ET
They were hand checking and overly physical where many calls were missed. **
TboneParkerVT • 09/11/22 02:21 PM ET
Also playing 5 games in seven days vs them playing 2.**
TboneParkerVT • 09/11/22 02:22 PM ET
Our offense is hard to be defended without practice time, but 1st round
icelus • 08/04/22 05:18 PM ET
Because basketball. **
st_andrew • 08/04/22 03:52 PM ET
and before we went on a great streak, we were on a bad one
Pylons • 08/04/22 02:45 PM ET
you must have no history on this
Mercury • 08/04/22 01:56 PM ET
And Brill was an arrogant Dookie…**
TomA • 08/07/22 09:27 AM ET
Yup. And I'm still not sure everyone understands this.
AshburnFarmHokie • 08/06/22 07:46 PM ET
I'm still bitter.....and Bill Brill can still kiss my ass**
hok1eboy • 08/04/22 08:47 PM ET
I'll never forget what Bill Brill said when someone asked him why he was so
YBYSAIAHokie • 08/05/22 08:15 PM ET
He had a poster in his office when I worked for him that said
AshburnFarmHokie • 08/06/22 07:40 PM ET
That really has nothing to do with VT losing to Texas in NCAA tourney
YBYSAIAHokie • 08/04/22 02:02 PM ET
1973, but I was there with you. 😉**
NC Hoke • 08/05/22 02:16 AM ET
Agreed
N2VT2 • 08/04/22 08:56 PM ET
it's not like we lost to the #16 seed...
EDGEMAN • 08/04/22 02:42 PM ET
Stuff happens and Texas played a great game against us.**
santafe • 08/04/22 12:21 PM ET
Yep, and they shot way over their season average against us. **
BleedinOandM • 08/04/22 01:40 PM ET
I think it was such an emotional 4 game ride that they had trouble ramping
