Stanford was 13 point lead with 2:52 left.
Stanford was more about clock management. If Neo "I am nowhere near a 1st round pick" Avdalas doesn't turn the ball over twice in final two minutes and doesn't jack up no hope 3s with 21 and 19 seconds on shot clock no way Stanford can come back. Neo needs to be off the floor at end of games and needs to be banned from shooting 3s. 0 for 7 tonight. 1 for 5 against Stanford. Shooting 21% in ACC play from perimeter before tonight. Now at 16.67%
Bring Buzz back when he gets bored with UMD in a few years?
Jk
Well, at least I can say Hokie Nation was well represented at the game, place was not even half full and there we at least 100 Hokies there. Brutal end for my first live game I'm almost 20 years
That's lacking so much context.
Stanford was an epic 10-point collapse with 2 minutes to go.
Wake was lost by a horrible start and once again missing two free throws at the end.
Tonight was lost by two players missing FTs to ice the game, and a bad turnover.
Sigh, we had such high hopes for the team with Lawal and Neo. Lose Lawal for 8 games and Neo has been good in what 3 games total?
I would use T-Rank for NCAAT projections. They run a simulation of the rest of the season based on your current team strength.
The SMU loss puts VT at a 23% chance to make the tournament... with a win it would've been 63%. Legitimately a season-ending shot.
This needs to be Mikes last year. He's just not a good enough coach.
That and turnovers. Neo killing us in that category.
Have to agree. We are allowing the 11th most points in conference play and are 192nd in that category overall.
I thought we should have got Odom when we got MY. Can't change history tho
Oh I agree. Dude doesn't even look like he would be drafted after the season.
Doesn't change the narrative going into this year that we'd take a huge step forward and he'd be leading the way.
Or if you foul on that double...he missed 5 on the night. Worst case you go to OT.
Miller shot two less free throws than the Hokies did as a team.
But is he an upgrade? Unproven with no HC experience.
If that's the case then more of the status quo. Not exactly trying to compare ourselves to our neighbors to the north, but UVA went out and got a proven winner. Took UMBC, USU, and VCU to the tournament. And he already has UVA rolling.
All three conference losses have been by a 3 point shot made at the buzzer. All have been contested.
You honestly think Neo is a first round pick? You haven't been watching the games.
I mean, we're 13-5. We're a competitive team. All of our conference losses have come by a few points, basically all off buzzer beaters. There's 13 games left in conference play. I'm just as concerned with everybody else with our inability to close out games. I believe CMY needs a strong finish to this year and momentum going into next to not have a scorching hot seat.
I'm not sure about totally defunding the program. We'd become a massive laughingstock and the program would totally crater. Not sure if the money we redirect to football would make a significantly tangible difference. Could be wrong there, but not sure it's worth the risk of completely alienating one of the two top revenue generating sports.
I honestly think Chester Frazier is HC in waiting. That's why he came back to Tech
Absolutely terrible look for the program. CMY's seat should be on fire given he's been living off the one ACC championship for his entire tenure. Not great when you have the narrative that NIL got raided last year for football, and you bring in a first-round pick this year and still look bang average.
Question is - who do you bring in to raise the ceiling? If you can't make a better hire then maybe you do cannibalize the program for football. If you're a P4 program without serious chances for the tournament on a regular basis, what's the point in throwing money at basketball?
If you think this team's defense is anything but bad, you haven't been watching the games.
Schutt needed to be in the game immediately when SMU went to zone.
I was just thinking this earlier. Isn't Blacksburg some far off place no good player wants to go to?
This is gonna be a common theme the rest of the season huh. Every game will be tight. And sometimes they shoot themselves in the foot and lose. Or they'll get lucky and win
We held them 10 points under their season average. Neo just can't shoot a three and that is all he wants to shoot.

Zero in ACC play for Neo
