Game 19 - @VT

The 9 pm ACC mid-week special we all love so much.

VT -5.5 seems too low, but I think they're as wildly inconsistent as BC is.

BC is better than VT. Whether they win or not is something else entirely.

Coach No Timeout has a way of equalizing these things. As does road 9 pm midweek games.

Mighty looks awesome which isn’t something I’d ever thought I’d type on this message board. Good for him

Don’t get what this team is trying to do on defense aside from giving up wide open 3s and layups. They look like a Jim Christian coached team on D.

This is one of the worst coaching jobs I’ve ever seen in sports.

Truly horrifying we extended Grant through 28-29.

This is the best I’ve seen VT look this year, but it is partially because Earl doesn’t have them ready tonight. Disappointing. Whether they come back and win or not, they have a concerning issue with disregarding the first half. It’s bullshit

We make a lot of teams look good.

5 more years! We got him!

There is literally nothing in his coaching background that justified that type of extension but he will certainly be given the time to build the roster/program as he wants it to be. :ace

Devin mcglockton is the most consistent player on the team. Meanwhile Zackery and Harris are either a plus starter or a net negative on any given night

Literal exact replica of the Syracuse game, 9pm sleepwalk special where they wake up in the second half and “fight back valiantly” only to come back short but be applauded by the commentators for their comeback effort

Glock is awesome.

The guards and coach continue to kill this team on a nightly basis.

Watching him flex at Pedula and then give up a 3, turn it over then foul instead of get back on defense was second-hand embarrassing as fuck

This. Honestly, thought he was going to get a "T" for that flex/taunt. :ace

We must lead the country in poorly coached morale victories.

JZ/Harris were 8 for 24 with a handful of turnovers.

In spite of the fact that Coach No Timeout should be left in Blacksburg, if we could get even decent guard play we would win games

That’s probably the season right there as far as the ncaa tournament goes. Nobody cares how hard it is to win in the ACC. “Fighting hard” and “sticking around” in tough ACC games is getting old. Some teams figure out how to win these. Maybe not sleepwalking the first 15 minutes would help. That Georgia tech win was harmful, it told them it’s possible to win if you take the first half 15 minutes off. This program is not worth a whole paragraph

Just checking in to see if Zachery played well, I have been told he's a very good player.

The guards in total shot 8 for 30 last night and it’s not like they played all world defense. Not beating anyone when that happens.

Best thing they can do between now and Saturday is try to fix Zackary and Harris.
