He did seem to rely on a back-breaking run in like the late 2nd/early 3rd
I don't know enough about bball to understand why his teams were seemingly able to do that so often but not close out the game at the end. Good teams seem to always that have one player than can drive to the rim at will late in the game then make their foul shots (see #11 for Baylor), and he never really had that at VT.

Box score verifies that. 15 point lead reduced to 3 points in 80 seconds.**

Sounds like an almost uva-level choke job by whatever jackass was coaching

That also reminds everyone of a Kenny Brooks coaching feature ...
