Hokies – 85Well… that sucked… expectations meet reality head on…

NO Ice Cream tonight…Bonus – NOBODY fouled out…
MARKELL with 10 assists…
Five teams tied for 5th place in the ACC…
Still anybody’s season…Our RPI does not change…
GO PACK!
POP!!!#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!02/07/2018 at 11:08 PM #130239BassPackerParticipantBring on the Cheats. A win against them and we gain that MOE again.
02/07/2018 at 11:12 PM #130240freshmanin83ParticipantHome cooking I hope will help.
02/07/2018 at 11:14 PM #130241natediggityParticipantWell on the bright side …… Keatts knows what to fix…… stop the dribble drive to the basket!!!……… get that corrected and I like our chances at home on Saturday against the a$$ hats
02/07/2018 at 11:23 PM #130242bill.onthebeachParticipantKeatts knows what to fix……
Yep… Speaking after the fact, Peterson’s game plan was crystal clear…
Told his guys who have been shooting 3s all year to take it to hole…Hokies took 52 of their 62 shots inside the arc PLUS 29 Free Throw attempts…
Little chance of anticipating that in advance, but Keatts knows he’ll see that again…Keatts’s problem is he ain’t got a fix this year… unless he saved that Zone D they been practicing for Uncle Roy and the Holes…
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!02/07/2018 at 11:30 PM #130243bill.onthebeachParticipantBottom line tonight…
I think we’ve gotten a little bit full of ourselves after beating Dook & UN* & ND…
Too much Mater Juice for this time of the season…This game should put our feet back on the ground for the rest of the month….
Keatts and his TEAM will be ready Saturday at 2:00pm…
and maybe in a better “MENTAL” position to take care of business….Good night Gents!
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!02/07/2018 at 11:52 PM #130244WolfanaticParticipantWe’re only as good (or bad) as our 3 point shooting…
02/08/2018 at 12:30 AM #130245WolftownVA81ParticipantI was able to see the game in a bar but couldn’t hear a damn thing. All I know is we lost and I bought the beer. I was able to see some CJ Leslie ball which did not make me happy. Hope our heads are screwed on better this Saturday for the holes.
02/08/2018 at 5:44 AM #130246wolfmanmatParticipantYes. Yurt is no physical enough for the NBA. Really his bigger limit is athleticism. He doesn’t have the quicks. He would benefit by a year more.
02/08/2018 at 8:23 AM #130247TexpackParticipantSomehow a bunch of people forgot how we looked in the first half against Pitt. That’s why I’ve been tying to pump the brakes a bit on buying Final Four tickets.
We don’t have reliable scorers. We haven’t had those all year. (Yurt is too foul prone for me to consider him reliable) We run hot and cold. Our hot nights are very, very good but we haven’t established an adequate baseline performance level so we have the excitement of figuring out which team has come to the arena after every tip off.
02/08/2018 at 8:34 AM #130248TheAliasTrollParticipantTroll… where are you ‘bro ?? What’s the payout on the PACK Trifecta tonight?
Missed a lot of the game last night, what can I say a 9pm tip time interferes with my bed time, even when I fight it.
Only good thing about this loss is I haven’t had to read any untimely and impulsive Jimmy V comparisons this morning.
Unless… AAAHHHH WOW just hit me.. Buzz Williams is the next John Wooden!!!
02/08/2018 at 8:52 AM #130249rthomas44ParticipantHere’s one for you troll…V lost on the road… so now back to work!
02/08/2018 at 9:08 AM #130250WulfpackParticipantSaw this one coming. Time to get back in the saddle for Saturday. A second win over UNC helps us way more than this loss hurts us.
02/08/2018 at 9:10 AM #130251rthomas44Participant#1 Villanova lost on the road to St. Johns… so it happens.
02/08/2018 at 9:41 AM #130252bill.onthebeachParticipantSt; John’s is legit… Beat Dook and Villanova back to back, which puts the ‘Hoos #1…
First time for that since Ralph Sampsom in ’84…I’m not trying to put lipstick on the pig, but…
Our Team DID NOT quit last night — cut a 20pt lead to 4 with 4 or 5 to play…Any other State team in the last 3 years would have gotten beat by 30 last night…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!02/08/2018 at 9:56 AM #130253TheAliasTrollParticipantHere’s one for you troll…V lost on the road… so now back to work!
Awww shucks guess I lied.. there goes another cringe-worthy V comparison… after a loss no doubt.
I’m thrilled about the wins over Duke and UNC, but at the end of the day Duke doesn’t play defense and UNC is having a down year. Overachieving halfway through the first year doesn’t make one worthy of being distinguished next to the likes of Jimmy V. And you can file that under “things that shouldn’t need to be said.”
Anyways, going in another direction, I wouldn’t be surprised if the loss last night had something to do with a little bit of looking ahead on the schedule.
02/08/2018 at 10:02 AM #130254ryebreadParticipantBummer that we laid an egg because a road win would have helped our RPI and tournament bid chances. I knew VT would be tough as they would be very hungry and were well coached. Tip of the cap to them because they knew how to play us — sag off the shooters, drive on anyone who Beverley is guarding. Toss in some cold shooting and some quick whistles on Yurt and that game was over pretty quickly.
People mention Al Freeman’s stat line, but we have gone as he has gone all year. He had career games against Arizona and UNC and we won. Any game against even a semi-decent opponent where he has a stat line like last night and we lose. I think bringing him in off the bench has helped ease him into the game and let him get into the flow better. The book on him has to be to just stay in front of him and eventually he will start jacking up shots.
I did not see it in my brief pass through the posts, but Dorn didn’t have the impact that he normally does. In our recent streak he has been good for a quiet 16-20 points and 8-10 boards. Last night he was just quiet.
On to the next one. Something was out of sorts last night and it was obvious fairly early. Hopefully whatever it is we have recovered by Saturday. The only saving grace is that UNC will be coming off an emotionally draining game against Duke. Hopefully they don’t have a momentum builder.
02/08/2018 at 12:58 PM #130256PackofMacParticipantNo whining or crying here, this team has way outplayed it’s actual skill so far which is all on Keats, thanks KK. Got beat by a very experienced group of athletic kids who come out with a FANTASTIC defensive plan and executed it with speed, energy and skill that would have put a W in VT’s win column regardless of who they were playing. Very tough road conference game against a very good NCAA tourney team. Move on, beat those stupid mo fo’s Saturday.
02/08/2018 at 1:13 PM #130257rthomas44ParticipantOne thing to remember…V was 14 wins and 13 losses in his first year.
02/08/2018 at 1:16 PM #130258rthomas44ParticipantSloan was 7-19 !
02/08/2018 at 1:54 PM #130259TheAliasTrollParticipantOne thing to remember…V was 14 wins and 13 losses in his first year.
Sloan was 7-19 !
Great! And Sidney Lowe was 20-16.
02/08/2018 at 1:59 PM #130260bill.onthebeachParticipantDorn didn’t have the impact that he normally does. In our recent streak he has been good for a quiet 16-20 points and 8-10 boards. Last night he was just quiet.
That’s right… and for no obvious reason… except he just didn’t touch the ball enough all game…
Dorn has been the Man the last five minutes of the game than not since the first ND game..Batts was also invisible…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!02/08/2018 at 2:46 PM #130261rthomas44ParticipantFour more wins and Keatts is secure!
02/08/2018 at 3:05 PM #130262freshmanin83ParticipantThe feed I was able to watch part of the game on was intermittent at best. Did anyone notice if the Pack tried to play any zone last night on D?
