Don't worry. The ACC refs don't understand it either.
And another charge call that I do not understand!
That effort play by Chris Clarke right there is what is going to win us another 2 or 3 ball games this year, tournament included.
We're going to cruise to this win, he didn't need to do that, but he did it anyway.
I'm pretty sure you could pull 13 guys from the McComas courts and they would beat this BC team. Their offense is just bad.
That three attempt by Allen was the perfect example of why we have such a hard time rebounding. Closest Hokie to the rim was Clarke who was laid out on the floor eight feet from the basket. No one was on the alternate side of the shot closer than 15 feet.
Oak Hill could beat this BC team.
Hey Rutgers, how's that B1G move working out for you? 29 game conference losing streak? Sooooo... good?
Nice, Jae Crowder sighting
We've got some groan-worthy commentary going on in this game.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies(14-13, 6-8) at Boston College Eagles(7-20, 0-14) 9PM ESPNU In case anyone is looking for a more interesting game to watch, Alberta is beating Montreal in a huge game for women's Canadian curling playoff standings...
As always, I feel like we should be up by more but I'm happy to say it's a thirteen point lead at the half.
So we are beating the crap out of them and we still end up on the crap end of a top play. Classic Virginia Tech.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter that we have four 6'10"+ guys if they're riding the bench or out on the perimeter where they have no chance to grab a board (I'm looking at you Blackshear).
Damn that was a finish, but what a horrible shot by their leader.
EDIT: how hard was that announcer hoping garland would make a big play so he could use they Christmas tree analogy
Thank you, I'm on my phone
Even against Boston college, we can't close a half out properly. Absolutely inexcusable lack of effort on the boards.

And we get sportscentered to end the half again
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. OMG.
We play as a small team but we really aren't a small team anymore, it's just that all of our bigs have glaring holes in their games. We now have two seven footers and two guys 6'10. The problem is that those four average about 15 minutes a game right now.
It's so empty in there that I can hear one VT fan counting down the shot clock correctly for us. That is pretty depressing.
Right?
Now I can't unsee that. Thanks.
A big part of this is that we rarely shoot off set plays so our bigs hardly are ever in position to rebound correctly. Our bigs are also terrible at getting position down low which is one of the reasons we tend to see them commit ticky tack fouls after rebounds on both ends. Not sure which coach is responsible for the bigs but it seems to be a point of concern on the lack of improvement in the play of all our bigs.

Outstanding hustle to grab that loose ball. Up by 19 and bodies are still flying over the court chasing that ball down.
