Literally every stat underscores the blowout in progress
72% shooting to 37%
20-7 rebounds
3-1 offensive rebounds
4-0 blocksThe only stat where VT is ahead is that they have 7 TO’s to State’s 4. 🙂
What the what??? Anya drives from the arc
Don’t worry, against the Blues he’ll be called for traveling or a charge.
He is much more similar to Rodney Monroe, just not quite the same level.
We might never see another like him in a State uniform.
Shouldnt the VT HC be holding a white cat?
I saw what you did there. Well-played.
The yahoo sports app serves as my memory. Also gopack.com has an app that downloaded schedule to my phone’s calendar.
it’s hard to say whether or not VA Wolf is being pessimistic or simply realistic.
There’s not really any doubt that I’m being pessimistic. Only time will tell whether it is realistic or not.
Here’s an article I did on Digging Yourself Out of a Hole. While State isn’t exactly in a hole (yet), we may want to consult these examples later.

Va, if you had to assign a percentage to us NOT making the tourney what would you put it at?
Interesting question….I wish I had an interesting answer.
I frequently make fun of Lunardi and his endless brackets, but that approach has one useful aspect. You don’t have to consider a team until they’ve done enough to warrant thought. Here are two bracket projections:
Lunardi: (10 ACC teams)
Louisville, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Clemson, MiamiPalm: (8 ACC teams)
Projected Champion: Louisville
At-large bids: Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest(Differences highlighted)
Yea….I didn’t see State mentioned either.
The approach many take seems to make a subjective evaluation of “talent” and then pull projected results out of thin air. I completely reject this approach. The results on the court mean something, while “talent” evaluators’ opinions frequently do not.
Anyway….back to the original question. I put State’s chances of making the NCAAT at less than 50/50. I hate to be so pessimistic after just one ACC game, but I haven’t seen anything to be optimistic about.
Let’s put this another way, you generally want to go 10-8 with a couple of Top50 wins to secure a bid before the ACCT. Where do you think State can accumulate those wins?
VA Wolf – I am tempted to say you’re unduly pessimistic in this case since we have a head coach who has made the NCAA tournament 4 of his 5 years.
Maybe. I would have agreed with your reasoning before the season started. But I’m not sure that Gott’s previous records have much impact when making projections on this season once we have some hard data. Specifically, State has looked like crap in all of their losses. IIUC, Pomeroy is projecting State to have a losing ACC record (which wouldn’t surprise me).
Maybe Gott will find a magic switch to flip. If not then given the strength of the ACC, this season is going to get ugly. But I’ll change my mind when the facts change….and certainly not before.
(I’ve never really liked that quote. “Facts” don’t change, you just get new ones.)
I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but here’s the NCAA archived stats.

Forgot to include the ACC schedule for the next week. Hopefully, this link will give you the whole she-bang.
I’m not scared of a little fat…but avoid sugar at all costs. Lost over 60 lbs after getting Type 2 diagnosis. Weight stable for about 18 months now.
The sad thing is the guy that sells the BBQ, makes about the best slaw I’ve ever eaten. But I avoid it now since he adds sugar.
Tony’s Ice Cream in Uptown Gastonia (native Charlottean, I couldn’t resist). That would be for their famous liver mush sandwich
Hickory is home for my wife and I, but I’ve never been to Tony’s. But a normal trip home ends with us bringing back livermush (wife’s favorite), BBQ by the pound, and diet Sundrop.

How about this….enjoy the stress-free games of December while they last.

Thanks but I’ve got the app that is working well on my phone. I feel like a flipping Millennial today. Typing on a laptop, watching on a tablet whenever it’s working and listening to my phone.
