more Q4 than the iveys!
The fact Minnesota played 16 Q4 games should be an automatic disqualifier but we all know.
B10 is great, ACC is weak. If you don't believe, just check E$ecPN. No case, Minnesota is in, VT is out. That Q4 loss is a killer.
Man, you gotta feel for Fowkes. 5th in his heat, but his time would have won any of the other heats and gotten him into the finals.
There are still several opportunities for the men to score big points and hopefully take home the team title. But they are pretty much going to need JLIV to win the 200m and 400m, and then for VT to have multiple point-scorers in the 800m and pole vault. Those 4 events could realistically net them ~40 points and give them a chance heading into the 4x400, although they'll also probably need to find a few points in other events like the mile, 3000m and triple jump.
Why do they not post the post game press conference from every game? still cant find any from today (or half the prior games)
Highlights from today:
-Ryan Fowkes set a new PB of 4:01.09 in the mile prelims. Unfortunately, he was 5th in the fast heat so he misses out on a trip to the final.
-Viktor Idhammar won his heat in 4:08.00 and will advance to the final.
-Caitlyn Bobb won her heat in the 400m and was third overall with a time of 53.16 and advances to the final.
-JLIV just keeps impressing. He ran a new SB and facility record of 45.68. That is good for 11th in the nation.
-Star Price finished 2nd in her heat and 7th overall to advance in the 800m.
-Christian Jackson (2), Dylan Decambre (3), and Nicholas Plant (4) had 3 of the top 4 fastest times to advance in the 800m.
-Nathaniel Paris finished 5th in the long jump.
11 months ago:
We had no coach
Our starting PG and C both transferred
Suffren was in the portal
Ekh and Micheaux hadn't committed to returning for their last year
Wenzel and Baker hadn't committed to returning
3 x 2024 and 1 x 2025 commit decommitted
Our 4th 2024 commit hadn't reaffirmed her commitment
Our entire roster guaranteed roster consisted of Mackenzie Nelson, who had redshirted.
One day later, we hired Megan Duffy
Today:
We finish 9-9 in conference and 18-11 for the regular season. We also finished in the top half of the conference.
We have 9 returning players
We have added 3 x 4-star prospects for 2025, consisting of a PG, a C, and a W
Taking a page out of the "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"-Wayne Gretsky-Michael Scott school of thought, we have offers to the #1, #2, #5, #8, #14, #15, #21, #27, #28 of the ESPN HoopGurlz Top 30
TBH would have been better for us if GT was a chance for a higher ranked win/net having beat stanford
What's the over/under on Softball wins vs combined men/women basketball?
Have 29 games remaining plus Conference Tourney/NCAA Tourney.
Men's has two regular season left and probably only has three or four games left total as they are outside looking in on even the CBI
Women are a bubble team for now with the ACCT ahead. Likely need two wins to guarantee a trip to NCAA's. Going to face Georgia Tech most likely in the 8/9 game.
Basketball total at 31 now and likely 34-36 wins at most.
Softball at 17 with 29 remaining but mostly conference play. Figure 20-9 which would put them at 37 wins.
Good catch, forgot they went 5-1 on the week with the win over Liberty
With the win over Radford they're 17-4
Wraps up a 4-1 weekend
Hokies now 16-4
Hokies win 5-4
Now 1 out
Bases loaded
Hokies have runners on 2nd and 4rd with no outs
Let them tie it in Top of 7th
Mazzarone ran out of gas and then Kleiman gave up big hit after Emma got in trouble
Lead Radford 4-1 in bottom of the 6th.
McMillan and Yaeger homeruns and a Chatfield 2 RBI double.
4-1 win over JMU today
tried to give it away.......... FAM
that was never a possibility, the announcers were spewing nonsense since the shot clock got turned off with 6 seconds on it but the only question was how much to reset it to after our timeout. The commentator was awful all game
Held on for the win! Built just enough of a cushion early-mid 4th to survive a semi-collapse during the last 3 min
Escape with a win. Locks up Day 1 bye
tried our best to blow it with late turnovers
Losing to both Syracuse and BC was really bad optics. Win one of those and the narrative is completely different.
