The Difference of a Basket: A Margin of Error Synopsis

Something I've kept tabs on throughout the season is how close we are to being elite. It's there. Make no mistake about it. The 2021-22 Hokies were damn close to elite.

Think about this.

1 additional 3 pointer per half made in our losses.

Not asking for the world; just one more make per half.

7 wins.

The Hokies could be rolling into the ACC Tournament with a record of 26-5, with a 17-3 conference record, and the #1 overall seed in the ACC tournament. Those heartbreakers against Xavier, Dayton, NC State, UVA, Boston College, Miami, and Clemson would have all turned into cardiac kid victories.

1 additional basket per half.

But in the interests of fairness. One less 3ptr made per half in the games we won and it would be a disaster.

The Hokies would have dropped 5 more games, falling to 14-16-1, and just failing to get the first round bye in the ACC tournament.

Every shot counts.
