These are all over the place so bear with me.

1) My favorite awful announcing moment of the night (and there were many) was when the announcer called Rakeem "rahim" and before the game called Trevor "terry". Loved it.

2) Second favorite: The announcers said at one point  "Cassel Coliseum is an amazing and intimidating home court venue. Not just in the ACC, but in the country." They followed that right up with "the cold and students not being here really is hampering that atmosphere tonight." I found it particularly funny because they are announcing to a fanbase where it's ALWAYS cold in the winter, and we still draw 20,000 plus each night. Just a really lame, homer crew.

3) My favorite play of the game was Tyler Ennis threading the fast break chest pass to CJ Fair perfectly for an uncontested dunk. It was thrown diagonally across the court about 30 feet in the air, between three VPI defenders. It hit CJ in stride for an easy dunk. If you've never played basketball, you would have no idea how incredibly difficult that particular pass is to make. It looked so effortless, but was just a beautiful thing to see.

4) Found it odd Dajuan played in mop up time, but my thinking is they held him out of most of this game as a precaution, and then got him some floor time to start shaking the rust off. Better to do it now than in the opening minutes against UNC on Saturday.
