Long post (welcome Cam's insights) w focus on guard play

Allow me to make a few observations. As context, I am an older male who played basketball and understands the game. I also have been an avid VT WBB basketball supporter (including financially) especially over the last few years. I am a huge fan of Coach Duffy, her coaching staff and what she is building. Carleigh is a warrior. I am so glad she is a Hokie. After yesterday's game, however, a primary concern I have is that our ball handlers may struggle against elite ACC competition. With Mackie, Carleigh, Samyha, and Leila, my hope was that an extra year of experience/maturity would lead to more confidence and fewer turnovers--still hope this turns out to be true. Given our lack of size, our guard play is even more important this year. Every possession matters. Yesterday was a nice win and I especially loved the crisp execution once the Beavers cut the lead to 3 late. Let's have big crowds on Thursday and Sunday for 2 big games. Go Hokies.

One thing I agree with you on is that every possession is an IMPORTANT

Yep this issue pops up and costs us a couple avoidable turnovers and points

I understand your concern; one thing I would say is - 9-9 last year

I think some underestimate the loss of seniors Ekh and Micheaux.**

In spite people focusing on the paint, I think we miss Matilda the most.

Yes. Freelon was likely going to be better than micheaux

My opinion is Duffy is rebuilding the roster.. she wasn't left with depth
