Defensive intensity for the first 8+ minutes has been impressive. Keeping them out on the perimeter will lead to success for us as long as we continue to box out and limit offensive rebounds

Hokies continuing to show more hustle on the boards and after 50/50 balls. Need to keep the intensity up for 40 minutes which will be tough with our short bench

How's that not a tech on their big? He gets called for an over the back foul and immediately spikes the ball 15 feet in the air.
Eat the whistle if the guy spikes the ball out of frustration with himself. If he spikes it because he's pissed about a call, that's exactly what that rule is for.

You know how I know the ACC isn't catching up to the other conference? The commercials on the ACCN are like a worst of Sunday afternoon high numbers cable channel. Can't be getting much for that airtime.

I wish CMY would teach these guys to set some hard screens when Murphy is getting harrased bringing the ball up the court. Murphy could set them up to get leveled a few times and that pressure would back off out of self preservation.

When Murphy drives they are leaving him wide open at the basket. Too much film of him dishing it out from under the basket. He just takes those layups half the time, and he is averaging 15 points and our whole offense opens up from them not knowing what he is going to do.

OT: I have very little Irish blood but I find this Shamrock Secret Peeler guy totally annoying and offensive. Who thought letting this guy fake an Irish accent was a good idea! I hope he tries to tak shave his balls with that peeler.

3 grad students and 2 juniors and we play like freaking freshmen against the press. Embarrassing performance to end this game, even if we get a win. Poor.

I mean that's great that he got us here but you cannot implode in crunch time. That lazy pass and that lazy defense in the last minute are just inexcusable in the ACC

Wow. Geez. A win is a win but somehow this one just feels wrong? LOL. How are we "last four in" in Bracketology? Anyway, FAM! Whew. Off to pour a strong one.

i was at the game. PNC Arena for college basketball is a joke. Don't get me wrong I am happy it was classified as an away win but man...just crickets in that stadium. Only thing that made noise was the constant air ball chant.

After we got up 17 to start the game I didn't think I would be getting dirty looks from the wife for blurting obscenities at the screen after the kids are in bed. Those turnovers to finish the game were so bad, having an older team makes it all worse. Glad to pick up a win, but there is no reduced concerns after this one.

I have hopes that by the end of the season it will be Sean Pedulla. Hunter is a better point than Storm at this point and it isn't his comfortable position.

LETS GO!
HOKIES!
Really need a quick start in this one and looks like we are heading that way up 5-0 early.
More like this, please!
Man it hurts watching Alleyne shoot...
He is 1 for 2 with three of our seven points. Give the man a break!
Hes 9 out of his last 12 as well
Still rolling from Saturday. Great defense and moving the ball well.
Big fan of when the other team doesn't make a shot
You'll win a lot of games if you score and they don't.
OMG, we're being haunted by the ghost of a Raiders Coach. That's outstanding.
Defensive intensity for the first 8+ minutes has been impressive. Keeping them out on the perimeter will lead to success for us as long as we continue to box out and limit offensive rebounds
Good couple of minutes for N'Guessan. Two blocks, a rebound, and a tip in for 2.
uh... just started watching. Whatever CMY did differently this week - its working.

I agree 100 % but not going to get a whistle against a a NC team on the road
Terrible charge call on Aluma.
Followed up by terrible shooting foul on Aluma on the other end.
I'm just here to complain about the refs.
Somebody has to do it. We appreciate your service!
Look at the balls on Sean Pedulla! What a shot!
We hit a 3 to go up 16. Announcer: "Advantage Virginia Tech!"
Really?!
Can they review the goaltending call on tape?
Yes. #GOACC
Mutts never touched that ball.
Ojiako is fun to watch. Great dunk to finish the half, and a box out putting the guy in the bench early on.
Mutts might have gotten within 4 inches of that ball on the "goaltend."
Nice opening Half....gotta keep it going...would be nice not to sweat it out for once.
On the other side....Keats may want to polish up the ole Resume soon
Nine man rotation in the first half and all nine scored! That's what I call a balanced scoring attack!
You know how I know the ACC isn't catching up to the other conference? The commercials on the ACCN are like a worst of Sunday afternoon high numbers cable channel. Can't be getting much for that airtime.
Has anyone ever watched SEC network or B1G stuff on weeknights to see if they have good commercials?
I have not so I dont have a comparison
Aluma is 4 points and 2 rebounds from a double double
2 Sloppy turnovers to start the Half. Less than ideal
Not a good start to this half.....sloppy at both ends
No foul on Mutts and Alleyne gets called because he breathed on a guy. NCAA officiating drives me nuts.
Officials getting involved...
Yah swallowed a lot of no calls under the basket then called alleyne for off the ball lol hilarious
Alleyne shooting poorly again but throwing up lots of shots. Hope he starts making more this half
Announcers mentioned he was 3 for 12, yeesh, good thing they are out with a big lead.
The shot he took in the lane was begging for a kick out to Cattoor who had nobody within 10 feet of him.
I wish CMY would teach these guys to set some hard screens when Murphy is getting harrased bringing the ball up the court. Murphy could set them up to get leveled a few times and that pressure would back off out of self preservation.
Hunter Catoor getting absolutely worked by Hellems (the defense isn't awful, Hellems is simply out playing him).
If he can consistently hit those horse shit fade aways then let him have them. Those are low percentage shots and shouldnt beat you
He has made some ill advised shots, of Hunter can hold him to challenged fade away two's, I will take those odds.
Damn can't believe we're letting a 17 point lead fade away 😅 we have got to close these games out
Refs are absolutely swallowing their whistle when we have possession but when nc state has the ball its blow blow blow🙄
Shooting 54% from the field while we are 6-19 from 3 and Alleyne is 3-12. Can we just get a complete game?
Exactly, replace alleyne with 40% shooter were up by more
This team seems to have an innate ability to identify the hottest 3 point shooter on the other team and then give them open looks repeatedly.
Second half ref show. #GoACC
The commissioner is at the game. I hope he is enjoying his front row seat to this officiating shit show.
These refs are ass
Refs. Let's get something straight not everytime they bump into one of our dudes you have to call a foul right?
Really bad officiating in this game. Total makeup call on Cattoor. Where is our makeup call for the fake goaltend?
They did reverse that call. It would be 53-46 if they hadn't
Padilla needs to put that ball up on the rim. His bigs will get the rebound when he is double teamed driving
Murphy had 2 good looks. Shots were flat both times. Full court pressure working on his legs
I agree. If we're getting pressed bringing the ball up I don't think he should be the one bringing it up.
Gawd can we have one person that can knock down a wide open 3 on our team. Jesus
No way Storm is this bad of a shooter.
Jesus Christ guys
Storm Murphy 0-5 from 3 point line
It's infuriating to watch.
Alleyne and Catoor ineffective too---can't have 3 guys who aren't contributing on O.
Maddox???

Storm needs to pass the rock....
Someone else needs a shot. Murphy ain't it
STORM MURPHY WITH THE POTENTIAL DAGGER BABY! HAVE FAITH AND KEEP SHOOTING
NOW HOW WAS THAT A FOUL?
He breathed on him and caused him to lose his footing
Our players spent half of the second half getting up off the floor with no fouls. They flop and it was a foul.
Alleyne is 3-12, Murphy is 1-7....our biggest weaknesses are surfacing again
Mutts is so smooth
Hmmmm....
Imagine this. If this team could play a whole game like we did against St Bonnie. We be 14-2 or 13-3 and probably a 4/5 in the bracketlogy rn
Just bang down low the rest of the way. Refs are calling fouls and we're cold from 3.
just tuning in
Good energy from Mutts
box score not good for Storm and Naheim. Na is back to being cold again after a good performance last game.
edit: and as soon as I post this, Storm hits a 3 and draws a charge
That was his best play of the game.
Hell yeah Storm, shut me up real quick
I was mad at Storm's play, but that was a clutch shot there
Naheim punched in the face...travel
you see the trap coming....Why do you in bound right into the trap there?????
It is getting comical out there... we have no PG who wants the ball and can take it up the court and now the others are panicking.
WHAT THE FUCK MUTTS ARE YOU SERIOUS
Has Mutts forgotten how to pass? Throws into a trap off the inbounds then floats a pass on full court press. Geez.
Oh Mutts what you doin
We are so sloppy.
Beating the press is basic basketball.
Middle School stuff. Don't get it.
how many times can we shoot ourselves in the foot here in the closing minutes
WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!?
How bad can a team be on the defensive boards?
ARE WE ALL FUCKING STUPID
Alleyne is so bad
What the fuck
I'm sorry I've seen dumb basketball, but this is over the top stupid. Like, absolute poor situational awareness.
This team has no clue how to finish
3 grad students and 2 juniors and we play like freaking freshmen against the press. Embarrassing performance to end this game, even if we get a win. Poor.
What the fuck are we doing???
my goodness, we have a veteran PG with no awareness of the shot clock
5 turnovers in ~1 minute
Awareness: -18278121
How do I make it stop!? Seriously considering shooting the TV.
Shambles
This is the biggest clusterfuck
I turned the game on with 4 minutes to go, and honestly they look like the most incompetent basketball team I've ever seen.
I love you Mike Young but what the fuck is this shit
I really don't know if it's MY coaching or the players are just really not smart
I've coached 9-10 year old teams with better ball security than this.
Looking like the "Hard-Smart-Tough" version of the VT football team right now.
Ah, Soft-Dumb-Weak. Good times
Pedulla hitting those foul shots drove away the specter of that stupid slogan for just long enough
Mutts backed away from help defense there
Mutts has played with his head so far up his ass he can smell lunch
The last 2 minutes yes. But with out him we ain't even close to winning this game
I mean that's great that he got us here but you cannot implode in crunch time. That lazy pass and that lazy defense in the last minute are just inexcusable in the ACC
I feel ya. I feel like we always been bad against the press
mentally preparing myself for another turnover and GW by NC State
My 4th grade AAU team handles the press better than this
ERSC?
No sir, Page. But ERSC handles it better as well....hahaha
Oh sweet. My youngest son plays on the 5th grade Panthers team.
Good deal. We scrimmaged at the beginning of the season.
In this house, we believe in Sean Pedulla.
Sean Pedulla with the biggest of balls.
Yay winning
*Pours a stiff drink*
Shewwwwwww
Wow. Geez. A win is a win but somehow this one just feels wrong? LOL. How are we "last four in" in Bracketology? Anyway, FAM! Whew. Off to pour a strong one.
A "WhewFam" is still a Fam.
Hoorah for winnings.
Was gonna say this win does not feel good. I feel dirty and embarrassed at that last two minutes and almost 17 point lead squandered
Because were like #2 in the ACC according to kenpom I think
We're 1st 4 out in bracketology. But yeah somehow still in the mix despite our poor performances
Yup. Sorry... you are correct. Was typing too fast and mentally drained.
Escaped, but did little to inspire any confidence going forward.
Same problems, compounded by sloppy play. Not great.
Road game win. No matter how it looked, it's a road W to the committee.
True but this is a team that lost by 14 at home to Wright State and by 9 at home to Richmond
And they also beat us in Cassel so I am happy to get out of their with a win
i was at the game. PNC Arena for college basketball is a joke. Don't get me wrong I am happy it was classified as an away win but man...just crickets in that stadium. Only thing that made noise was the constant air ball chant.
A Win. Is. A. Win.
Very lucky. 17 turnovers this far into the season should be a loss. Very lucky.
No win is a bad win this season, keep it up, Team!
Pepto dub. Also nice missed obvious double dribble by the refs to end the game
After we got up 17 to start the game I didn't think I would be getting dirty looks from the wife for blurting obscenities at the screen after the kids are in bed. Those turnovers to finish the game were so bad, having an older team makes it all worse. Glad to pick up a win, but there is no reduced concerns after this one.
When Murphy and Alleyne are in they own heads it's a struggle
To state the obvious the Hokies need a real point guard.
I have hopes that by the end of the season it will be Sean Pedulla. Hunter is a better point than Storm at this point and it isn't his comfortable position.
Foul up 3 at the end of the game.
