Not to mention he woke the beast by slapping the half court S after VT went up 5 with 2 minutes left. Thanks Sethy!!
Was just going to ask if he was the same one who slapped the floor. Glad it was him who blew it for them

Sorry but the real MVP is:
Without him, Seth Allen doesn't get the opportunity to be a goat.

1000% As happy as I am we won, Va Tech gave us the chance. No reason G should have eben had a shot to tie
Thats what the press does for you, it forces the other team into bad shots.

Or, if broken, it can lead to an uncontested layup or dunk, and the game is over. It was the strategy of last resort last night, and thankfully it worked out.
It's not the solution for what ails this team defensively, no matter what some here want to believe.

Possibly reason G took "long" shot early was to stop VT from fouling one of our players to prevent the 3. Based on the FT shooting last night, would have been close to a miracle to make two FTs.

G explained why he did that - the VaTech D was 100% ready for the play we were about to run, so rather than drive in further and get tangled up in the D, Swaggy G pulled up and shot it. It was a clean look, which he likely wasn't going to get by moving in a few feet closer.
And he hit it, so of course it was the correct choice.
