# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ I am closer to the floor. This team is slow moving the ball around, don't move as much as prior Young teams and sloppy with the ball. They also are not great jump shooters but can't get to the rim either.
I think it's crazy underrated how important a player finding their role is. I feel like this offense sometimes forces guys into roles that they aren't best suited for. Example making Pedulla the primary scorer last year.
All that to say I don't think this can all be put on the talent. The staff has to adapt. Imo This team could be a scrappy 14-17 ish this year if guys were put in the correct spots to succeed. Unfortunately I see us finishing with around 9 wins. Maybe 10 if we're lucky. (But unfortunately the floor is literally 6. That is not out of question if we truly bottom out)

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Patented session of turnovers and nine missed shots in a row to give opponent a runway to break open game.
UVA SUCKS.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ I mean, I'm a broken record but anytime Wessler is on the floor it's 4v5. No recovery defensively and no offensive IQ.
34 points at the half. Let the offensive genius cook!
He's not the first...
Year away from being a year away like a lot of big men
I feel like this is another raise the floor class, but not as good as last years, but we need to have some raise the ceiling players. Any class without 4+ 4* to me isn't going to cut it long term. The last time we had a consensus 4* was Doug Nestor and Bryan Hudson who both were really good and payoute (injury issues) and Jr walker, who got some paying time, but wasn't great. Getting two NFL players wouldngona long way to help.
Yup exactly. I also feel like the entire team has bad court awareness. There will be a loose ball and none of our dudes will have a clue what's going on

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Whew...the halftime show detailing 16 of Vandys points off turnovers. Ugly

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Poteat ball awareness down low bothers me more. That turnover right there is a perfect example

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Surprised to see Brown. Been a while since he got in this early
UVA SUCKS.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Reichsteiner has yet to improve on his massive turnover issue. We are seven games in and not sure how that hasn't improved.
Such a shame
I just can't unsee it.
So is the best case scenario to have SMU & Clemson both look really good, go head-to-head most of the game, but SMU takes the late lead to win? That way it is a W and a good one against a "solid" opponent? Nothing for the committee to take negatives from?

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Yes but at this point not sure they can fix him in season
Does anyone else think (like myself) that Poteat plays way too often with his center of gravity outside of his feet?
I think they need to do lots of drills to get him to have better position with his feet under his weight so he can control it better...use it to his benefit more.
she came back in and finished the game
She returned to the game.
Collins looks better on offense this year than he ever did for us
Any word on Micheaux? I never saw if she came back in after the two GA girls fell on her
UVA SUCKS.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ I don't think Wessler would start at Roanoke College. We had better big men come thru.
I've been watching VT hoops for 20 years and this is the second-most painful team to watch that I can remember after that second James Johnson team. Not sure it gets any better next year either unless we get some big fish in the portal.
