Va Tech Game Thread

[Fly Rodder]

The warts reappear. It was bound to happen.

This isn't terrible. VT is a good team, it's on the road, and SU isn't down 16.

They finally shut down the baseline jam.

 

[hoopsupstate]

SU can score at will if they go inside. VT can also get beat off the dribble. Better spacing and patience and I think we can score. Average first half and we're only down by six.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

It's amazing how Howard's cancer to the team/off court distraction/chemistry problem disappears when Gillon is playing like a dog.

 

[Madbiker]

We're in trouble. White was the offense. And he never scores well in the 2nd half.

 

[SUalldway]

And that'll do it. Injuries and foul trouble. Super.

Lydon is limping noticeably...

 

[Dave85]

Lydon has to contribute more on offense for us to win.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Gillon has to get it going. He's either probing too deep, turning it over, or picking up his dribble too much out by the 3pt line. That being said; if Howard did something SO bad would he be playing in the 1H like tonight?

 

[Cusefan0307]

The refs are all over the place. Too many no calls and inconsistent on both ends. They refs did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night!

Steratore thinks he's calling PI.

 

[Dave85]

Greyson Allen is averaging .3 trips per game.

How do we look? I don't et ESPNU. They're outshootin us (45% to 38%%), made 1 more 3 and only have 1 turnover to our 7. But we are outrebounding them 21-14. Allen,, Clarke, LeDay killing us

He has to shoot a little higher to take a little edge off the adrenaline.

Considering Gillon looks terrible and Lydon and Robey have been in foul trouble I will take it.

Well, he does have a rebound.

 

[Madbiker]

When Howard is having a great game...he scores 2 points. When he's having a bad game he scores 0 points. A lineup with both Roberson and Howard is going to be a low scoring lineup and makes it harder for the other guys to score.

 

[Dave85]

We're in trouble. White was the offense. And he never scores well in the 2nd half.

Then he has to step up and show some second half leadership.

We need a x-factor to step up in the second half. Maybe Battle can become the man.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Dave85]

One thing is for sure. We have to win the first few minutes of the second half!

 

[SoBeCuse]

4 assists. That's lovely.

We started shutting down that baseline shat so those stats are off a bit. The defense got a little batter the last 10 minutes of the first half.

 

[Dave85]

4 assists. That's lovely.

Gillon need to score on his 2 drives.

 

[hoopsupstate]

We'll get more assists if we move better on offense. A lot of standing around.

 

[retro44]

team looks lethargic tonight...not a lot of energy.
