So I shouldn't mention that Virginia Tech put in a NIT bid to host?

So Does Making
A bid get you a bid ti the NIT? And for the record I hope we do but in my humble opinion I don't think we will.

This has VT solidly in NIT
after Pitt win / before UM loss

Solidly? There are only 4 at-larges below us.
I think we need to beat Duke to have a chance at the NIT.

Isnt the entire NIT field “at large” bids?

Nope. Regular season conference Champs are in.
Unless they make the big dance. That change a few years back makes it much more difficult to make the NIT. I think we need to beat Duke to have a chance at the NIT.

Nope; regular season champs of 1 bid leagues who lose in conf tourney
Get auto bids…unless that’s changed & I missed it

no, that's correct. so less at-large bids the more this happens.
hokiepro hokiepro
Are you upset at them for losing to the best team in the conference just
Because we had a poor shooting night? We made 3 pretty BAD turnover mistakes that hurt when we had a chance to cut the lead to 2 BUT overall we played very hard on D…we just had a lot of tough bounces go to them for offensive boards…they’re just quicker to the ball than we are too. We have to make 35% from 3 to have a chance and we didn’t They have 23 yr old guards; 2 of our 4 are 19, one is barely 20 ** Edited by hokiepro at 2/21/2023, 9:24:27 PM

Wrong…
Miami is a very good team but our defense was poor. Miami could drive to the basket whenever they wanted. Our guys played hard but we have little, if any, top half of the ACC talent. We need athletes.
hokiepro hokiepro
We had them under 70 until desperation foul time
They scored 92 on us in Miami
hokiepro hokiepro
We took away the three; you can’t take away both. They’re better than
Literally everyone else in the ACC offensively. Our D to force them to shoot 42% was good overall, but of course they’re going to get by and get some layups when we’re overplaying the perimeter
hokiepro hokiepro
They most definitely could and SHOULD get an NIT bid

IMO y'all are a NCAA Tourney team. Definitely one of the top 64/68 teams. If that does not happen, I could see y'all winning the NIT. You might think I am off my rocker, but I have seen enough to at least think it's a possibility.

At our best we’re a round of 32 NCAA team BUT we don’t consistently get
Our best. That’s what we are

Opportunity to get better.

Agree in some instances...
but think it's better for this team to close the book on this season

You're right. More practice and games for younger players are never a
Good thing.

More practice and games for older players who have
little motivation to win a consolation prize might not be the best thing though. It's a looong season and ours has been disappointing...I can imagine a lot of players are kinda ready for it to end...or will be by the time we play 4-5 more games. Sure, some more games (which, of course, actually could be just 1) for Rice would be nice...I'm not sure who else gets much benefit though.

lol...only problem with that is...this team isn't young

This board is not representative of our fans
Our fans were filling the seats cheering on the Hokies. This site had been infiltrated by the rot infestation from the subscriber and football boards. Lack of knowledge about the game and negative always even when we win.
