Basketball in Blacksburg

OK, perhaps that title is a logical absurdity.  But the fact remains that the Pack travels to VT today to kick off its ACC schedule.

It never really feels like winter to me until the conference portion of the schedule gets underway.  This year, there was also that little issue of it being warmer at Christmas time than Satan’s underpants.  But today we get the conference basketball, and seasonable temps.  Hello winter.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t point out that the statistical awesomeness of VaWolf82 has also been dusted off and rebooted for your 2016 pleasure.  If you haven’t read it already, you should.  It will explain why many of us are sweating March already, and why in any case, the Wolfpack has some work to do in the next two and a half months.

Speaking of which, it’s difficult to call a Jan 2 game at VT a must win….but with home dates vs ‘Ville and FSU, and road trips to Winston Salem and Chapel Hill in the next couple weeks, this one is about as important as any game against a VT Basketball team ever is.  State needs W’s, and there’s one there for the taking today.

Tip time is 2pm.

TV is the RSNs/ESPN3. (FoxSportsSouth locally)

Time for the Bad Kitteh to go to work

    Where is BotB when we need him? All hands on deck!

    He hasn’t been back since the title of one of his threads was changed.

    He’s been back, but he’s still not terribly happy with moi.

    If they are going to call illegal screens then they need to be consistent

    See. If KH had immediately passed the ball to even Caleb, we may be up 1 despite that made 3.

    I think KH would have passed, but he saw the alternative was Frenchie.

    Not your fault. It was a very strange thing to get mad about

    It’s not like we are over flowing with options

    I hate this league so f-cking much. TWO blatant fouls (one moving screen, a chicken wing to Cat’s ribs on the drive), and the officials are scared of BUZZ WILLIAMS.

    Hell yes they knew Cat was going to take the last shot. Everyone did. Even so I’d be super pissed if he didn’t.

    KH wants this one. Too bad his FT shooting has reverted.

    This is 100% as good as we can possibly play on D.

    Didn’t watch the first half, but what’s with Abu just parking it in the lane in OT? Demand the ball!

    No one touched him. At all

    should have been basket interference for hitting the net with ball on the rim

    Bjd – I loathe the officials in this league as well but we will never get the benefit of the doubt until they are called out. Hell, out conference leader was ad at UNC when arguably the biggest cheating scandal of all time occurred,..and crickets.

    Regarding the game itself – we gave up several boards, made 1 of our last 3 foul shots and failed to switch and it resulted in an open 3 pointer…we have seen this movie before and we will continue to see it.

    We’ve got energy to spare on D.
    No movement at all on O.
