Game Thread: Basketball Week 1

[Ragingcroc]

Considering what JJ's shown last year and in game 1, I don't think much studying would be required...


Any word on what Rankin's situation is?

Its like the try to run plays but they're so poorly put together they hardly get any openings at all so it turns into iso offense. I know its college but Devin Wilson nor Adam Smith ran the pick and roll horribly, they just both took a wide sweep around the pick and didn't use it at all.

No idea on Rankin but he would definitely be the starter at the 1 with Devin Wilson coming off the bench. Although I think you try to stagger Adam Smith and Marquis Rankin minutes so we don't get burned on D.

I'm headed up to watch UVA-VCU tonight with some friends. It should be a solid game. The Commonwealth needs more quality in-state matchups.

crush the 'eers! lets go hokies.

 

[hokiehi21]

where's the offensive talent?

where's the offensive talent?

Where is any talent?....WVU with 26 pts at the 10 minute mark. Gonna be a long season.
How fitting is it that Weaver announces his retirement in the middle of a basketball game?...probably planned it that way.

 

[Hokie200proof]

Oh wow... the game is on now? Hot damn.



Sorry work.

 

[hokiehi21]

hey now. down by just 5 at half

 

[HoHumHokie]

Hokies now up by 10?!?!?

 

[VTscores]

VT up by 5. It's a real basketball game.

 

[NickVT10]

This is gonna be a good one

 

[NickVT10]

The foul situation is going to be key

 

[vtfan15]

Some of these freshman are looking really good.

 

[hokiegrad]

The foul situation is going to be key

Yep. JVZ already out. Raines and 2 WVU players with 4.

 

[vtfan15]

This is the first game I've seen. I've got to give Emelogu and Wilson an , especially for freshman.

 

[NickVT10]

Yep. JVZ already out. Raines and 2 WVU players with 4.

Wilson Raines and Emelogu with 4 for us now

They have 2 with 4 and 4 more with 3

 

[NickVT10]

that was a quick swing for them to take the lead.

 

[hokiehi21]

my heart cant take another 1-point loss

 

[NickVT10]

Way too many turnovers by us as well

 

[Hokie200proof]

If Smith didn't hit that runner I would've been furious... 1:50 with the lead? SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.

 

[hokiehi21]

up by 4 with 31 seconds left....
