ME Hokie 07

Return 2 starters....sure we struck magic in the acc tourney and that was awesome but that doesn't warrant a top 3 pre season. Especially when you consider a lot of other teams have more returning. Again, I think we are capable of being quite good if the transfers and freshman play well but our resume doesn't warrant being picked to win the acc. People need to shed the O&M glasses. Plus it's not a bad thing to have our guys with a chip on their shoulder...

I don't care much about pre-season rankings. Let's earn it on the court. -- win-tech Oct 18, 2022 at 04:59 PM ET

Seems reasonable since we lost 3 starters -- HokieAl Oct 18, 2022 at 12:13 PM ET

No, but keeping the football hyperbole out of basketball would be nice -- soflahokie Oct 18, 2022 at 08:56 AM ET

I do think we are getting ready to prove that -- Coastal Hokie Oct 18, 2022 at 02:43 PM ET

I think this is the deepest team we've had, but way more unknown quantities -- soflahokie Oct 18, 2022 at 03:37 PM ET

Plus ncaa position does not relate to AP -- tallahasseehokie Oct 18, 2022 at 10:29 AM ET

We were 11 seed in ncaa last year. Do you think we are a 6 now? -- st_andrew Oct 18, 2022 at 07:29 AM ET

UVA finished above us last year, lost nobody, and signed a top 15 class -- soflahokie Oct 18, 2022 at 08:59 AM ET

This feels like our football preseason expectations, very forgiving to VT -- soflahokie Oct 19, 2022 at 12:45 PM ET

Pedulla averages 5 fouls per 40, can only be so effective on the bench -- soflahokie Oct 19, 2022 at 04:13 PM ET
