Only watched the second half but fouls seemed to be called easily for nc state shooters; but saw arms getting hacked all over the other end.

Second judge delayed his ruling after yesterdays hearing. This made Bediako eligible to play Auburn. Alabama is winning by 1 with 7 minutes to go. Bediako has 12 of Alabama's 71 points

Of note: Tuscaloosa Circuit Court Judges are elected officials ...soooo....

I know where we were picked to finish and good chance we do unfortunately but we have seen that this team has the talent to be a top 5 team but finds ways to lose. Thats the frustration more than the overachieving versus preseason picks.

It's like a modified 2 deep. Normal 2 deep plus a guy training up.
That way they have 1 guy they can elevate to the 2seep in future years or, reject them and select another from recruitment or portal.

With the money we just invested into football, a basketball coaching buyout is completely out of the cards right now. It ain't happening, no matter how bad we are.

Just have to eat the shit sandwich in hoops until our revenue driver gets going again, even if that means burning the remainder of this decade to get there.

CMY is probably on his way out.

This is maybe the only incorrect statement in your entire post...the rest of which I fully agree with. If VT goes separate ways from CMY, I think it will be because he chooses to, or is pressured to, retire. A cursory internet search said he's contracted through next season ('26-'27). Given the financial situation we're in trying to catch up in football, I don't see the administration firing him and taking on that additional financial burden trying to replace him. Plus, he just got Chester Frazier back. Cassell Coliseum isn't an embarrassment for home games, so there is probably still decent revenue generation there. CMY hasn't done anything bad, either. It's just, by all accounts, he's pissing away lots of talent via all the points you listed. I'd be curious what allowing CMY to become a lame duck HC would look like in terms of the quality of job to the market of potential head coaches.

I didn't even know three deep was a thing, and I'm still not sure it is.

I only knew two-deep was a thing, but only for other teams. I'll be happy if VT gets there.

I think I am done now with caring about MBB for this season. It's become Same Shit, Different Day (SSDD) under CMY (save for that one magical ACCT run). I'm tired of the inconsistent team play. Tired of relying too much on one player being a superhero (OOC Neo, recently Hammond, off & on Hansberry). Tired of long stretches of games where it looks like we haven't practiced in a month. Tired of shots & rebounds near the basket that other ACC graduate assistant practice teams would look at and say "Wow, that's bad". Tired of mid-season antics where we play absolutely amazing against one team, completely turtle-head the next game, end up playing ourselves out of the NCAA tourney, and then do absolutely diddly-squat in the supposedly inferior NIT. Tired of not being able to make the easiest f*#king uncontested baskets in the whole game (free throws, if you didn't pick up on that) that turn put-away games into heart attack games.

I had a lot more typed out about how I feel about the MBB program right now, but I thought better of it and restrained myself. I need to flush the frustration and anger out and try to salvage the rest of this freezing weekend.

Ladies play SCAR at 530pm on SECN+

Ladies won 11-3 in 6 earlier

OK, the game is over, but I have a question.
With about 1:40 to go, Hanesberry makes a basket. The ball goes through the basket and hits the floor.
1:39 on the clock, clock keeps running.
Ball bounces around, nc st player scoops it to referee, referee passes back to nc st player who then throws it in. Ball caught by nc st player, 1:31 on the clock.
That's 8 seconds from the time the ball is through the net until it is back in play.
When does the 5 second count start?

This type of scenario happens multiple times a game on both teams. Could effectively be one or two possessions per game, Thoughts anyone.

You've always got some good takes on here but this one is wild.
