Thanks for the post

That's some awesome news right there. Expectations for next year will be at least a winning ACC record and an NIT minimum bid.

Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

After the past three seasons I'd be happy just to make the CBI next season. It's not that easy to go from dead last three years running to a winning ACC record. I'm just worried that folks are going to start losing their patience if we don't jump to a .500 record next season. I think we're going to have to wait until year three under Buzz to see the program turn the corner towards winning conference records.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Two players of the years from two different states?! Suck it, whoever!

I also love this:

Robinson is from Manassas, VA. However, he played basketball for St. James in Maryland

Why don't we just move all of Manassas down to Blacksburg? My hometown is the pipeline of all pipelines. The 757 has nothing on Manassas! What

"Exit light..."

Honestly, with how the team performed while undermanned and 2 former walk-on's getting decent to big minutes, I wouldn't be surprised if we are at least .500 in the ACC next season. Maybe I'm expecting too much out of a young team, but talent and depth will do wonders for the team, and most of the young guns we leaned on for big stretches of the year will have a year under their belts. I see .500 as a reasonable goal for this upcoming season, and I know Buzz will work his tail off, and the team will work their tails off this upcoming offseason. But, I digress. While we are getting more talented, so are the top teams in the ACC. Looking at it realistically, a .333 record in the ACC or around that would be pretty good, and close to (if not exceeding) .500 overall. I'm gonna buy into the hype train for 2015-2016 and say that we could potentially be in the conversation for the NCAA tourney if everything goes well for us. But that is one big if. Excited for this upcoming year!

I have the same assessment and excitement for next 2 years, but I think next year is an NIT stepping stone year. Cut our teeth on tourney play before moving up to the big dance.

Definitely. Also depends on how much Satch and Shane Henry improve inside, plus how much of an impact Blackshear will have as a freshman. The post was definitely our weakness, so improving that is priority #1. Also excited to see Seth Allen and Zach LeDay play for us. I think we'll be a lot better next year than most people (myself included) think we will be. We'll know in time, though

I believe Clarke has a chance to be one of the greatest Hokies ever.

Deron 2.0? Let's see if Clarke can make a better poster. Teabag UVA might be in our future!
