Dorn has a long way to go to be effective
Firmly in the Shelley Gillespie zone
Got to slow down a little. Getting to Schutt happy! And getting a little sloppy on defense. GW is a good team and will make you pay if you're not careful. Play to win, don't play to lose. But play smart!
Rumor has it Chesney was offered what would be tops in the league had he stayed.
Yeah, the boot he was wearing is not consistent with be back soon.
Inconsistent is the word. We're just as likely to do a string of stupid crap! Turnovers, fouls, quick shots, etc.
Talent and athleticism is borderline Tournament team without Lawal.
Teamwork and experience in Youngs system is still very much a work in progress
Inconsistent. Have potential to be good but hard to tell given we have a major contributor in Lawal out for a while.
Someone help me here. We keep looking not that good, and then suddenly go on a run where we look really good and pull away or catch up. Does that mean are are we actually pretty good?
Defense has tightened up a bit. GMU with an 8-1 offensive rebound advantage has kept them in it. Avdalas pick and roll + Schutt nuclear from 3 has the Hokies pulling away at halftime.
Awesome finish to the half
That string of 3 s to finish the 1/2!
Schutt be shootin'

Terrible defense and rebounding once again. Lawal is sorely missed on the boards.
Another team we should be dominating in the paint and are not. Getting outrebounded again.
My problem with the conversation regarding Miami and Notre Lame is pretty simple.
Miami beat the Irish head to head
If they are that close that should be an overwhelming factor
I'm gonna throw on the caveat that the committee does what the committee does, logic or fairness be damned. With that out of the way...
We're only going to have three conference champs in the top 12. I just don't see any of the others being able to jump that high in the rankings. That means that the cut-off for being an at-large team is the top 10. Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, and Texas Tech are all ranked high enough to stay in the top 10 with a loss today.
Miami is sitting at #12. Even if the loss drops BYU, that only gets Miami up to #11. At this point, their only hope would be Alabama getting completely blown out and losing multiple significant players to injury, and the committee forgetting that Alabama wears an SEC patch on their jersey.
Miami's biggest problem now is Notre Dame being ahead of them. While I don't necessarily agree with that ranking order, my opinion is that once rankings are set prior to the conference championship games, none of the idle teams can change their relative position to one another. There's no new data point this week that will allow Miami to jump over Notre Dame.
But the strategy was size and quantity more than quality. OL is the most developmental position so Franklins getting as many guys as possible to make up for the thin recruiting of the Crook years and hope some guys come out in the wash. The option was probably Cochrane or nobody, taking Cochrane is a plus over nobody.
I mean they literally went out and bought the defensive coordinator for the national champions. He had a whole hell of a lot!
Golesh being Russian and described as a mad scientist is just perfect
Go Hokies!!

As another Hokie undergrad & GMU grad, I win no matter what.
This is a game that should be played every year home and home so NOVA Hokies can attend at Patriot Center.
Ugh.

He and Gurdack both! But they're working on it. Game minutes, film, practice, improvement.
