Fam, notice how Coach Young didn't let the team flop after beating #3 Villanova the next day? It's almost like seeing a well coached team again representing Virginia Tech....!

Dude played 44 minutes and put up a 8/13/5 and followed it up with a 21/3 stat line. He's just everywhere and always putting himself in great position. Being left handed seems to really help him finishing at the rim as well. He's just so fun to watch.

CMY absolutely destroyed him in the presser after the Nova win with the comment "I like you better on mute," when the facilitator stated that Mark was off mute. Berman was responding to that.

they seem to be getting along fine? Berman can toss out some corny lines / jokes /questions and CMY isn't afraid to dismiss those types of questions, but when Berman asks a good question (like the last one of the press conference, CMY is not holding any kind of attitude against him - just gives a great answer)

Good: Win, Radford's 21, 54% shooting, 81% from the stripe, even boards with a team with 2 7-footers, that Radford block, 33 bench points, 42 points in the paint.
Bad: 3 point shooting, 1:1 ATO
Ugly: Nothing

I think also what was good is that it was a team win. Somebody said it in the game thread that no matter what five are on the court there is never one bad player for the other team to exploit. Everyone plays well together and has each others back. Looks like they are having fun too!

Hot damn we've got got some depth. Radford is the new Zach LeDay type player. Underrated as a prospect, plays so damn hard, but it's also hard to see how he can score double digits (let alone 15+) sustainably once other teams get his tape. Then somehow he keeps on doing it.
Pemsl should be a contributor all year long and Mutts will be a scorer even though he hasn't hit his stride offensively yet. Still very excited about the freshmen as well. We legitimately could have all 13 players contributing ACC quality minutes. I love this team and this coach.

It's still early, but this does seem to be a relative strength of the team. I don't know that we've seen anyone look elite as an individual player, but we are apparently very deep. Which is exactly what you want in a season like this one.

Tough scene for Dayton to have your best team in years miss a title shot because the entire tournament was canceled due to a once in a lifetime global pandemic.

Look who agrees with you... (Hopefully we can be a BOTH school one day)
Maybe we should rethink the idea of Tech being a Football school 🥴 thought it would've happened when I was there but....— Justin Robinson (@5Alive_) November 29, 2020

Dammit, I came here to post this.
Then Ladies play Tuesday against George Washington if you don't want to wait until Thursday to see another Hokie BBall win.

I get this is a little bit tongue in cheek, but seriously impressive since it is a game the very next day after playing in overtime the night before.
Not just mentally prepared but physically too.
Even more impressive when you realize Radford virtually never left the floor Saturday night then went off on Sunday.

He was one of my favorite players to watch last year and is only getting better with more time in the program.
Five Hokies in double figures FAM!
We are a good basketball team...FAM!
Anyone with a link to CMY postgame?
Norm Wood got really weird with Radford and another player (not sure who it was). Total awkward alert.
Try this one
No such luck but thanks, listened to Roper babble for about 20 minutes
I get the feeling that CMY really doesn't care for Mark Berman...
Buzz Williams was like "Mike before I go, one of the traditions you must uphold is not taking crap from the reporters..." lol
CMY absolutely destroyed him in the presser after the Nova win with the comment "I like you better on mute," when the facilitator stated that Mark was off mute. Berman was responding to that.
^^^^^This^^^^^ Would love to know the back story on where the angst comes from other than Berman being Berman.

Ugly: 15 Personal Fouls in second half
Ah, I missed most of the second half.
A lot of those calls were shit because they were trying to physical their way to not getting blown out.
Fair, but winning by 18 kind of smooths that out.
That's like winning by 3 touchdowns, but you had 12 penalties. You'll take that almost every game.

FAM!
We a basketball school! Fun to watch to because you believe we might win when every night without expecting we should. All in!! Sweet 16 baybe!
Back to back Fam!
Oh MY
This should be a t-shirt.
Somebody get CMY's face on Sulu's body on a t-shirt now
I was going more Dick Enberg's cadence... but either works
Good win following up a great win on a short notice. That is hard to do. They came out flat and then heated up.
After we beat #3 Michigan state last year we ran into Dayton....this year after we beat #3 Villanova....South Florida ran into us...times they are a changing...let's go!!!
FAM to whomever didn't schedule us against a tourny favorite for the next team after beating #3!
Tough scene for Dayton to have your best team in years miss a title shot because the entire tournament was canceled due to a once in a lifetime global pandemic.
FAM WE A ROUND BALL SCHOOL NOW
Look who agrees with you... (Hopefully we can be a BOTH school one day)
I actually get the sense that a lot of alumnus post Beamer probably actually feel that way...
Can Mike Young coach football?
Pretty sure he can at least coach the scout team
FAM 3-0 and a comfortable win last night. Different players stepped up in different ways than the Villanova game.
it is nice to be proudly wearing my VT sweatshirts and hats in public again.
Only if it says VT basketball
actually wore my VT hat and hoody to work today, read this message, looked down and neither say basketball....
so I'm looking for my nearest sharpie....
Twas a complete Thanksgiving weekend of seeing my real FAM whilst sprinkling in 3 basketball FAMs including a #3 upset FAM. Damn, that's a lot of FAM.
Does anyone know if Young has experience in football? If so, he should coach our next two games.
Can they dribble a football?
I mean you can, it's just not recommended.
Going 3-0, while holding Cone and Ojiako out for injuries, has me excited about the potential for our squad depth this year 💯
After Pemsl and Diarra hit double figures against USF, all 10 non freshmen on the roster have scored in double figures as Hokies
We have one guy who's gone for 25+, 3 guys who have gone for 20+, 2 more at 15+.
For anime fans out there, Diarra has this tattoo on his shoulder (credit PhantomJB93 for finding the pic)
