Very thankful our team isnt nearly as soft as the fan base...
Giving up at the first sign of difficulty

Who's giving up? The NIT is a very understandable goal for a team picked
12th ACC preseason. Any achievement beyond getting to the NIT is some serious gravy IMO. That said, my comment, given the decent talent we have with a lot of ball yet to be played, was a TIC reaction to two consecutive conference losses to teams we should, and should have, beaten. Can this team dig out of this early hole and pull off a top 5 or 6 ACC finish? Of course. But do not equate a run in the NIT as giving up, especially with our lack of any notable post season history in recent years. ** Edited by Maroon Unit at 1/8/2026, 3:20:31 AM

You have hard time shooting straight with facts...that was a complete choke
job during final couple of minutes of the game. Stanford's coaching prevailed.

Whining that we’re going to be in the NIT after an early January loss is
pretty much the opposite of a fact. It’s an emotional knee jerk response to a frustrating and disappointing loss. Now you can argue that is an understandable reaction but that doesn’t make it a fact.

Not a fact has been presented

Fact: this team was predicted to finish 12th in the ACC.
Speculation or fact? - beating peer level ACC teams early in the season gets VT in the post season drivers seat with down the road "good" losses factored in. Losing to these teams is a sure fire bubble buster. ** Edited by Maroon Unit at 1/8/2026, 3:20:55 AM

Don’t sweat them.
Many have about 5-7 posts a year and they all seem to be after losses. Probably either opposing fans or people that never played a sport.

Not giving up, but this type game gets old. Seems we have too many of them
