We could very well end up 6-23 in MBB with only ACC win being against hoos
In Cassell. Who thinks we do better do we get to double digit wins for season?

O/U for me is about 8 wins and that may be generous...
Its not the be all, end all but the ESPN matchup predictor has us at a +50% chance of winning in only 3 games- NC A&T, Navy and home vs UVa.

LOL! You do realize that's about as accurate as predicting a 3 legged horse
to win the Preakness!! That changes 40 times throughout the game, depending on who is ahead and by how much.

As down as we are, this team will get better
Not world beaters, mind you, but I have full faith they don't look as bad as they did on Wednesday for the rest of the year.

that's an edge VT basketball has over football - I feel good that our
basketball players will get better as the season goes along. Granted, the competition also does but MY is a good coach on the court. Hamstrung with roster management challenges, part of which he and his staff shoulder the blame for but a big chunk, they do not.

These "hoops gurus" need to take a peak back to CMY's 1st season at VT.
Brent the water hydrant left him with NOTHING talent-wise and he went 16-16. And VT won't win but 6-10 games this season? Some folks just throw up crap against the wall to see if it sticks to the screen and if any other posters actually buy it!!

Mike Young is a good coach
Good luck finding somebody better.

I think we get to 10, had 11 as the O/U preseason
I expected the ACC to be a bit better than it’s showed so far, and of all the teams we probably have the most inexperience driven upside meaning we should get better faster than other teams as the team plays together more.

So this fast break turnover prone team stuck in a pass happy deep shooting
Offense magically will learn to pass and shoot and happily keep their athleticism at bay??? Sounds like a winning bet. Hold my beer while I bet the house on this happening.

Yes, VT will get to double digit wins. There are 6-7 teams as weak,
so far in the season, as VT. Go to ESPN and check out the other teams and who they have lost to so far. Lots of Jacksonville type losses so far by teams picked above VT. Meatchicken could be another bad loss like PSU. This VT squad will take at least until mid Jan. to play as a team. ** Edited by ancient alien 2018 at 11/24/2024, 3:06:30 AM

Once they learn to handle the press, they will be OK

I bet Mike is drilling that into the lads at every practice now!
Definitely the #1 point of emphasis because it's our greatest weakness (as exposed in the Jax game).

We’ve seen this before and made the connection. Hope we do it again.
