Hokies Men's Basketball

Watching the BC game with some fellow alumni Saturday afternoon got me thinking that as long as Buzz can get his visions across to his players, this team can play with just about anybody in the Nation let alone the Atlantic Coast Conference. Even though BC is more a "Perennial Cellar ACC Team" this team has shown that even without its most dynamic player in Chris Clarke it can win games even when they don't come out on the tip ready to play.

Buzz seems to instill values and toughness into his teams that almost seems "Football-esque"; these values and tough natures allow them to scratch and claw on the defensive end. This seems to show up more when they're not making shots or when they are going through their occasional turnover spells, which is almost expected from 18-22 year olds. This mentality has been on full display the past month and in my honest but limited basketball opinion since the beginning of the year.

Yes, the players are all a year older and Ahmed Hill is back, but the big question coming into the year was do they have enough size in the frontcourt, then Kerry Blackshear goes out for the year; my thinking is they are doomed once they get to ACC play but with Coach Buzz's visions and tutelage they almost play without a TRUE low post presence sometimes. This is why I feel Coach Buzz is almost a hire sent from god(hahaha) because he fits the TRUE mold and mentality of Virginia Tech over the years.

Sorry got a little ranty and was typing this while watching the Cavs vs Bulls game but would love to hear some feedback. This is a tournament bound team if they dont screw things up down the finish line!
