I swear, if I hear that announcer butcher his name like that again, I'll.... well, I'll probably just turn it off. I'm not entirely sure that this game is worth watching.
Our team is not very good, and it looks like we came out without any energy. Not a winning combination. I might not know much about basketball, but we are down 29-14 already, 13 minutes into the game.

Good game summary, right there.
going to be a long basketball season...
Nothing new really. ..man..
So true...just really wish things could be different. It sucks....
This is hard to watch. Both teams are bad to say the least. At times it looks like a glorified pick up game.
Eating crow and liking it. Good team basketball to finish out. I liked seeing a strong finish to the game from the Hokies. Hopefully this gives the guys a confidence boost.
just give to to Green...oh.
Well... since I wrote this, we've cut it to 40-31. Still not particularly great, but at least we're being competitive.
Zeeeeegeren count stands at about 9630 and counting.
Well, nice way to end the half at least...
Go ahead and pass the crow. I'll eat it gladly after we closed the half on a run to close it to 41-36. Think I might still watch the 2nd half.
What is Eddie doing today? Looking at the box score it doesn't look like much of anything...
....and yes I feel very much like the Neck right now....but being at work means I cant see the game!
I haven't been watching too closely (at work as well), but he hasn't really done anything. The few times I've heard his name has been to point out that he hasn't done anything yet.
Too bad tanking in college hoops doesn't pay off like in the NBA. I have a feeling we could be really great at being really terrible. TURRIBLE.
17-2 run starting in the first half has the game tied! LET'S GO!
Does anyone have a link to a radio call of this game so I can keep up while I'm at work?
I'd say to go through this list, pull up each station's website, and see if they're streaming. I think technically they aren't supposed to stream because the ACC owns streaming audio rights, but I can always find one when I need to.

ESPN has it on Gamecast if you cant find a radio. 49-45 Tech right now
ESPN is blocked in my office. Yet this site is not....hey, I'm not complaining.
I'm following on gamecast
53-45 Hokies! 14:33 left
The 25-2 run VT went on to end the first half and start the second half gives me a glimpse of hope for this team. We know the team at least has the heart to not give up when they were down early. With heart and effort like that, I can get behind this Hokie team.
We can just call him the Flying Dutchman then. Problem solved.
I lived in cochrane with Joey my freshman year...dude was awesome haha, and in the fact that he had to duck every time he walked into a room and he definitely had a bit of an intimidation factor to him. I was like "woah if hes not on the basketball team get that man a jersey!" the first time I met him
Update for those with no access:
67-64 VT, 7:54 to play. Emelogu (sp?) has 20 points off the bench.
Pretty sure that's correct. Man, that would be a fun name to scream out sporadically from the student section. For those Hokies who are still students...
I don't think he's mispronouncing it, because it sounds like the in-game PA guy is saying it like that too. Maybe we've all been wrong.
I suppose you're right. Taken from the Media Guide:
van ZEE-grin
I've always heard "van zeg-er-in", today was the first time I've heard it said that way. Or maybe I suck at paying attention?
Anyways, update for those without info:
80-77 VT, 1:00, WVU ball
Up by 4, less than a minute to go...
HOKIES WIN!!!!!
87-82 Hokies win. Clutch free throws from Smith and Wilson to help put it away.
87-82 FINAL! That's one game I didn't expect to win, after losing one that I expected us to win. We have some pretty good young guys, if they can get a bit more consistent we might be ok this year.
Nicely done, doubted it until it was over....too much watching the Wizards play basketball
Our Bball team is in for a bad time this year, but beating WVU always feels good
Well now I wouldn't say they are in for a bad time. They won't win many games, but they can still have fun.
I don't really follow b-ball (for one, I never played it to begin with), but I'll take a win over the 'Neers any time, anywhere.
Considering that it was a 1pm tip off and the crowd was about 1/4 or more WVU fans, that was a strong comeback. This time is going to have to rely on game to game experience to win close ones like this. Western Carolina and VMI next so hopefully they can pick up two before they take on Michigan State.
Also, Women's picked up a decent win last night in Norfolk, beating ODU. They take on Florida on thursday. Should be a good game and this team is going to be fun to watch all year.
Trevor Thompson is the truth!
