Since a meta thread got bumped, I have a question Joe. What's the story with the new "give us money"-meter at the top right?

It's just tough the way our breaks work out. We play 3 of our first 4 conf. games at home, but the students are on winter break. After 2 road games, they come back for the home UNC and UL games. After that VT has to play 6 of 8 games on the road. We'll get a nice crowd for Pitt, but no one will show up for the Senior Day Miami game because that's when Spring Break starts.

So we have 18 conf. games, 9 of them at home. But we only get a true home court experience in 5 of them. That's a tough break.

That was a good win because we had to battle adversity to get it. Some of it was injuries (Clarke out for the game, Allen and Robinson getting knicked up but battling it out). Some of it was our own fault, like stretches of really dumb defensive decisions (tons of ball watching, 3 and 4 guys collapsing on the ball leaving wide open passing lanes, just general lack of team communication). But the guys really buckled down in the latter half of the 2nd half to seal a victory.

To be honest, I don't agree with Buzz here. Sometimes, the way scheduling works, you have tough stretches of games. It happens to every team, and it just happened to us during this February stretch. It's a tough part to play so often on the road, sure.

Duke played 5 games away from home in January and 3 in Durham. It happens to them too.
UNC has 5 road games in February. The list goes on.

Today was a good win, but let's not act like the schedule is extremely unfavorable to us. Is it a tough stretch and we got a semi-short stick? Sure. But it's not like VT was thrown to the wayside here.

Love that coach called out the ACC.

"I'm tired of being disrespected by those who are supposed to be justifiably fair," Williams said. "At some point, somebody needs to be the adult. They can fine me. Whit can tell me to be quiet. They're wrong. They're wrong. You don't play five games on the road, two games at home in a 27-day stretch. You don't do that."

I rewound and watched that whole sequence a couple of times. Moving the ball around like nobody's business to not get the wrong guy fouled, and then hitting threes like the ball was tied to the basket.

Thanks for that. Didn't notice it during the game. Guess I was jumping around and hooting like a blowfish too much to catch the chopping. Great game for the Hokies.

First I turn on ACC network and we're draining threes to close out a game, and then I see this. It was a good day.
