-  A 20 point conference road win is always a job well done.

-  Several players we haven’t been able to rely on had decent games. They laid off Jerami Grant to guard our main guys and Jerami responded with a double-double. Tyler Roberson played with confidence and aggression. Baye Keita pulled down 9 rebounds. Tyler Ennis hadn’t hit a three pointer since the St. John’s game but he nailed three of them tonight and looked good doing it.  We need to be able to respond when the other team decides to take CJ Fair and Trevor Cooney away from us.

-  And they really didn’t take CJ and Trevor away. CJ had a poor first half with 5 points on 2 for 7 shooting but came on strong in the4 second half with 12 points on 6 for 10 shooting. It was clear JB ordered the team to go to the conference’s pre-season player of the year. Cooney wasn’t red hot but hit three big treys and also drove to the basket to score. We had four double-figure scorers to their one and that’s a recipe for victory.

-  We continue to play great defense, limiting the Hokies to 52 points. You can play great defense game in and game out, wherever you play. It’s the offense that comes and goes.

-  Ennis’ assist to turnover ratio was 7-1. Ho-hum.

-  Tech had been out-rebounding their opponents by 7 per game. Yet we owned the boards 41-25. They are primarily a three point shooting team yet we shot 9 for 22 (40.9%) form the arc and they shot 7 for 24, (29.2%). It’s always nice when you can take what the other team does best and do it better than they do it.

15-0 with 16+ to go

Let’s Go Orange!
