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%

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
