VT Vs Miami Game Thread 58-76 Final

[DCF in LA]

If the fact we're not shooting well, yet are still up 10 against this team doesn't tell you something about this team, nothing will. You guys have way too little faith in a team that's 22-4.

TMJ is a guy I really wanna see rolling again

Looks like we picked the intensity back up after Coach L let them know what was going on and we were getting beaten in aggression by a **** team playing poorly anyway.

We're up by 10

Watching Durand is stressful.

Playing way out of control lately.

Seeing FTs go in feels good.

I have faith in this team and I'm sure every else does. just frustrating the lack of motivation this team can show at some points.

14 of 15 from the free throw line. Has a team scored 30+ in a half with more than half of those being from the free throw line? What a weird game so far.

 

[K2Cane]

looks like we started to practice free throws in practice.

Because he's trying to make up for the lack of productivity by other guys. I'm glad he has been going hard to the hole today, those FTs have been invaluable in keeping the scoreboard moving while we waited for FGs to start dropping.

I think this team blew their wad on the UNC game. I hope I'm wrong but we have looked just awful since.

Teams adjusted and we have struggled ever since. I think it was Clemson who hedged our pick n roll, took away Larkin and since then every team has tried to do the same. Coach L has to adjust and make something happen.

Free throws and defense have been phenomenal. Offense in general remains horrid.

What?

Have I mentioned that everything makes me hate everyone?

This. Larkin needs to grow the ability to cut inside the hedge and cut to the hole, leaving a big man outside the 3 point line while he is at the free throw line or driving.

I said it before, we are limited in what we can do offensively because Brown and TMJ are not good ball handlers or penetrators. When the ball gets swung, wing players need to be able to dive the lane against out of position defenders and create easy shots for themselves or the bigs. They also are not very good "screen" shooters, coming off picks and such, so we don't run a lot of baseline plays for them, either.


We are who we are. If the offense gets slowed down, make up for it by playing good defense and making FTs. The latter has been huge tonight.

Helps when our first trip to the line isn't ten minutes into the second half.

18-30 2:22 to go
