VT Mens BBall VT(8-11) 45 vs LOLUVA (15-5) 65

Another loss, this one more painful than most. The Hokies got embarrassed by LOLUVA, suffering a scoring drought of more than eight minutes in the first half and scoring a season low 17 points. Tech suffered another dreadful shooting game, matching the last effort of 33% from the field but this time couldn't hit from behind the arc, going a woeful 3 for 18. We again were dreadful at the free throw line, shooting 56% on 14 of 25 attempts. UVA led in almost every offensive statistic in this game from rebounding to assists.

Devin Wilson led the Hokies with 12 points but is headed for burnout, as he again played too many minutes from the point guard position, going for 39 minutes tonight. No other Hokies were in double digits, with three scoring seven points on the night. Raines again failed to impress with 28 minutes off the bench, scoring only four points and pulling in only six rebounds. Eddie is headed for a monumental failure of a senior season, seven points on 2 of 10 shooting, 1 for 7 from behind the arc to go with four rebounds. JVZ was conspicuously quiet on the defensive end of the court with seven points, two rebounds and zero blocks on the night.

UVA was able to play most of their backups throughout the second half as we never mounted any real threat of a comeback in this game. This has got to be the low point of the year, and while UVA seems to have a pretty good squad (they have had at least a twenty point lead in each of their ACC wins this year) the team never seemed to be in the game. Not a good first impression for JJ in front of Babcock if he was able to be there tonight. Extremely disappointing for a rivalry game, regardless if the basketball rivalry doesn't have as much fire as the football side.
We now have sole possession of last place in the conference with a 1-6 conference record.
