# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network Team fouls were 18-14 and only called Louisville for four shooting fouls the entire game. The Hokies missed 12 layups in first half with only one shooting foul called on Wake. They gave up on the paint by the 10 minute mark, attempting only 3 layups in last ten minutes so that meant shooting jumpers or threes for that entire 18-5 run.
Rebounding gets impacted by two things, we gave up trying to score in the paint so no one underneath. We also played Fire and Forget to prevent transition baskets. So combine those and you give up more defensive rebounds.
Offensive rebounds edge for Louisville came because they were still trying to score in the paint so had multiple guys around the basket to try to get boards.
If it is on TV I am the one with a gray beard in a VT hoodie. Looks like there are six Hokie guys in Hoodies. More Hokies than Deaks, by at least a dozen. That empty....
We are playing great defense. Live officiating has looked okay. We are throwing too many inside shots at the basket and watching them bounce out, but have looked better by more than the score shows. Wake shot better in the first half than they did in warm up. Need one of those two to correct in the second.
Good plan, hope it pans out. You say trailer, do you mean on the dart hook or on a dropper?

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network We live 15 minutes from here. No-one at the game. If you don't count the pep band and cheer/dance teams more Hokies here than Deaks. Dozens of us.
Respect dabo for naming names. All too often coaches complain like it's some boogie man poaching their players. Name & Shame. Force the ncaa's hand.
Playing great defense for like 25 seconds of shot clock but then let them get it to a post player in a 1v1 situation
[YEAR+1] IS OUR YEAR

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network We definitely weren't playing good to start the game, just louisville also was struggling. How many layups did we miss? How many balls did we throw away? Refs weren't great, but it was pretty equal who it affected. We shot ourselves over and over and it showed in the second half when the Cards normalized. Only reason it was close was hitting an absurd amount of 3s. Even if we hit 40%, we lose that game by 25.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network We were playing nice ball up to the point where we got within one in the 1st half and made a defensive stop that could have us potentially take the lead. We didn't. And, after that we played like a bunch of buffoons. That's outside of the refs. An 18-5 run to close the half. I cannot find the words to describe the team we saw played to a point where they could take the lead (playing good ball) and then completely shitting the bed for the remainder. It's just baffling.
One thing is for sure, as far as I'm concerned, Neo can sit on the bench and watch the Hokies play. He's just awful. I mean awful.
We also got outrebounded 44-31. W the AF?
The refs weren't great, Team fouls were 18-17. Wr are very good at fucking ourselves for the loss. We are our opponents 6th man MVP. Ask Stan, Wake, and SMU. They will move their heads north and south while laughing.
Bad foul by Suffren
The area I have been recommended is the shore on the north side of the river around the Hugh B. Day bridge. I am going to use a 1/2 oz shad dart with a dollfly or curly tail trailer so I can cover more water than the locals using casting bubbles. Hopefully it will work. If I get a couple, I will cross that off the list, which will be huge given then a shore tarpon, a pier king mackerel, and a billfish seem unlikely at this point.
That should have been a foul on Wake not on Carleigh.
Alaska and Bermuda have been our favorite cruise destinations.
Not the start we needed. Facing a team down bad, let them put up 15.
Wake has a lot of size on the perimeter. So far, a lot of cutting and screening like the old flex offense. Their low zone is really causing us some trouble on offense.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network Most of Hokies fouls were legit but when those same ones aren't called on the other end it seems like ours were soft calls. I only really questioned foul on Schutt where he did not appear to touch guy and whistle came when he was eight feet away from Schutt. That and the Lawal goaltending but it could have been the angle of the replay that made me question that one. We only had 18 fouls which is about normal for us. Our ACC opponents have averaged 23 fouls per game putting us at the line 29.7 times per game. Today was 14 fouls and 8 attempts so only 4 shooting fouls when we average about 15 shooting fouls.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network Best thing that happened was Neo being sat for most of the second half. Three from straight on doesn't even hit the rim and he's a first round pick...give me a break.
Was I the only one who reflexively wondered if the dentist's name is "Crentist"?

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network Honestly that's the reason our bigs couldn't get going. Big part of our game is bigs in the paint driving and getting fouls. When they aren't calling them for like a 14-2 possible run in the first half it's the difference in the game. (I know I complain about refs most games so there's my bias, but this one clearly didn't fair the Hokies style by "letting them play" downlow while calling touch fouls on VT)

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network They are good but let's see them on a neutral court at ACC Tournament. Cardinals only called for 14 fouls in this game. Only one other game in ACC play have Hokies opponents been whistled for fewer than 20 fouls. SMU was also only called for 15 fouls on their home floor.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network It doesn't take a complete officiating meltdown to change a game completely. This game is completely different if they called contact fouls in about a ten minute period in first half. It made for an eight to ten point swing and this is a 12 point game.
It also has changed how the Hokies have approached things for the remaining 25 minutes after.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (15-5) at #23 Louisville (13-5) 215pm CW Network I'd only other teams could give up 12 point leads with two minutes left as easy as we do lol
We are playing really great defense outside of giving up isolation plays in the paint. Carleigh shouldnt be guarding a forward in the paint ever though.
