26% from the floor won't cut it any day of the week....
Notre Dame should be pissed. They shouldn't have been passed in the rankings by a team that didn't play. But the bigger issue is that we shouldn't have rankings released every week and that last week Miami should've been ranked ahead of ND last week. It's obvious that if UVA had won the committee would've had ND in over Miami, even if that was the wrong decision. The weekly rankings are a farce. Ultimately Miami in over ND is the right decision, but the process is awful.
This should be the way but with the ACC wacky tabacky relationship with the Irish it should just be a zero share unless the ACC is unable to fill a bowl spot because they opted out
But a lot of ODUs offensive success is attributed to Decker....a lot like we can easily point to Marve as a reason VTs defense was miserable.
70-54 loss
Totally pathetic decision.
Hokies have been called for at least five really questionable charge calls but it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
As bad as Duke was today, the Hokies found a way to be worse
Crook falls 10-4 in finals. Finished 2nd
Desiante falls 4-2. Also 2nd
They kind of made a run here in the 4th but then Wenzel being "Carleigh"...
Gets the steal, clear run to an easy layup, slows enough for defender to get in front and gets blocked
I saw that Iowa State and Kansas State both opted out of bowls, so the Big 12 is fining both of them because it's hurting their pool of bowl money.
He's probably thinking that having Pry back will help him get the "gang back together again" and get over the hump and make a deeper run. He knows and trusts Pry.
Into the Finals
Tampa Tom with a 5-2 DEC over Elijah Cortez! He'll have Cornell's Vincent Cornella in the finals!
Sergio Desiante with an 8-1 DEC and he's into the finals!
Sonny Sasso with the 9-3 DEC and headed to the finals!
Dropped to 3rd/4th
Garelli leading 3-1 but gets caught in a cradle to drop his bout by fall. He'll wrestle for third!
Well not really because Rahne's offenses at ODU have put up solid numbers and looked good. Pry's defense at Tech has been below average and his specialty position of linebacker has been a massive liability for several years.
Whoof...this is a tough watch
Notre Dame in full pouty child mode has now announced they will not accept a bowl bid...they better not get any bowl share from the ACC after making this decision.
And because then for the final rankings they may have to go against their earlier rankings and then make an argument for why they swapped teams that didn't even play this weekend. It's a meaningless exercise that forces them to contradict themselves and pisses people off more than just releasing the rankings on Selection Sunday.
Epic Rap Battles of History
If I were a betting guy, I absolutely would have sought out odds the weekend he was fired that Franklin was going to Chapel Hill, taking Pry as DC, and the two of them would have combined to put us in absolute hell on the recruiting trail from PA to SC.
It is funny to imagine the two of them doing a good coach, bad coach routine like "Well, shucks, if it were all up to me I'd start you this week, no question... but, you see, the thing is Franklin wants to see a little more from you"
A lot of mixed feelings on this one. I continue to like that Pry says the right things so often, which presumably helps with recruiting and relationship building, and I would love to see him return to the role of successful DC. But it's going to get awkward really quickly if it doesn't work out, and it's hard to be convinced by the idea that the defense and especially LB position hasn't been good because his focus has been on head coach responsibilities instead. It's been such a consistent issue over several years that I have to believe he would have tried inserting himself and using his expertise to address problems on the defense, without seeing much improvement there. I guess I'll continue anxiously awaiting news of the other staff hires and hope for the best.
56-41... ugh
27% (13/49)
29% from 3 (4/14)
Draining watch. Duke isn't playing great defense, our players just can't hit shots.
Freelon next to zero contribution. 9 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound and 3 fouls.
I agree with this. Some of our fans were recently hoping we could get Rahne from ODU to be our OC. Isn't that like the same exact thing?
There was also an awful lot of buzz that Franklin was telling guys anyone who showed up in Blacksburg with Pry was dead in State College.
Back in the days of divisions, you could even set it up as 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, etc....and then alternate which division gets the home game each year.
Actually, didn't the Big Ten do this in 2020 because of their jacked up covid schedule?
I hadn't really considered it before, but Pry has already been with Franklin to help completely rebuild two programs. So why not make it a third? They've already proven they can do this type of rebuild together.
Sasso gets taken down early in the match. But he is able to move into a crab position and is able to keep moving into Correa. To the point where he is able to collect a leg and a head. And he locks in the cradle for the reversal and puts Correa on his shoulder for the pin. 197 pound GMU open champion 😤
