Basketball ACC Play Week 1: @WF (1/7 noon), FSU (1/10 7pm), @BC (1/14 3pm)

[757Hokie83]

Florida State game tonight at 7. This is a game that we should win. FSU has been crushed in their only 3 road games all year (lost by 16 to Michigan St, 18 to Florida, and 20 to Clemson).

key word.

Something to note. Lunardi currently has 5 teams from the ACC making the tournament. FSU and VT are on the last 4 in (even after our loss @ Wake). However, we all know that for VT, last four in by Lunardi means first four out by the selection committee.

We're also currently 40th in the RPI thanks to Syracuse being #1 overall. Playing #2 Duke twice this year will help, also.

Personally, I thought our tournament chances were shot. Looking at this gives me hope. Which is a bad thing since every year that hope is crushed.

We should've beaten Wake ... I'm worried about this game just because of the front court size of FSU. If we can force turnovers (which they are apt to make) and can actually get out and run, we can win

 

[Hokie200proof]

We need to finish with 10 ACC wins and actually show up in the ACC tourney. UVa getting unwarranted higher ranking might help our overall RPI too. Losing to them in the last three regular season games last year sealed the deal for us.

The Wake loss hurts, but we can still make it happen.

Well that loss to Kansas State isn't looking too bad now either...

I guess that means they'll give VT all they can handle

Yikes, where is everyone? Horrendous turnout.

 

[jgHokie]

don't think school's back in yet.

 

[m477hokie]

The offense is painful to watch right now lol

 

[wildturkey]

I've seen more fluid team offense during And1 events. Sheesh. We are AWFUL. Pretty sure we had more turnovers than points with 10 minutes left in the half. Smh...

 

[jgHokie]

better turn it around after the half...so many missed opportunities!!

 

[wildturkey]

20% shooting in the first half. FSU's defense is good but not that damn good. We're throwing up some god awful shots.

Also, Hudson, just get off the floor. He's taken 8 shots and only made 1. The colder than ice shooting streak continues. Ugh

 

[wildturkey]

Closed the lead to 6 points, 42-36. 11 mins left.

This game is like watching two cripples fight.

 

[wildturkey]

Within 4, 1 minute left. Green is shooting FTs.


EDIT:

Hits both. FSU misses 3. We get rebound with about 35 seconds. After 15 seconds, we get nothing. Greenberg calls TO to set up play.

EDIT:

We get nothing. Green gets the inbound. He dribbles around for 10 seconds, then throws up a difficult one hander around the FT line. Miss (shocking, I know). FSU Rebound. UGH....

EDIT:

Game over. FSU wins 63-59. Clawed our way back to get into a position to win and totally squandered it. Typical Greenberg team.

Another year. Another CBI.

 

[m477hokie]

Rebuilding year

 

[jgHokie]

we suck again!!

 

[Chrish1023]

Ahhh I wish Green would have looked down low on the last shot. He had a big man WIDE open for a layup. Oh well.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

what else is new? greenberg is a great defensive coach but we will never have a good offense under him. I honestly think he has gotten us as far as he can.

 

[Ragingcroc]

This loss was painful to watch. I had better than normal seats too. oh well.
