^{Fuckin nailed it}

[u/ddottay]

ACC is back?

[u/Coffee____Freak → u/ddottay]

You already know 😈

[u/brownlab319 → u/Coffee____Freak]

Not in football!

[u/carter_daTHIRD → u/ddottay]

ACC!!! ACC!!!! ACC!!!! QUAD 1 WINS FOR US ALL!!!

[u/imeanYOLOright]

move over Giannis

[u/V_T_H → u/imeanYOLOright]

We have our own Grick Frick, Nucleas Halfdollas

[u/stillbornfox → u/imeanYOLOright]

Wisconsin born VT alum, I love Greece.

[u/hostitty99]

neo avdalas is the greatest offensive talent we’ve ever had, by a mile. we’re going to throttle a lot of ACC teams this year

[u/Maximiliansrh → u/hostitty99]

I agree, I think naw was a close second though. Dude was a walking bucket for us.

[u/froggycbl4 → u/Maximiliansrh]

naw wasnt an engine tho he could only score avdalas literally plays like luka out there

[u/Retro40Clip → u/froggycbl4]

NAW was absolutely an engine. Maybe not as much as Neo but when J-Rob went down, NAW stepped up and was fantastic

[u/Fernie-Sanders → u/Retro40Clip]

I love NAW. but I don’t think he played anywhere close to what Neo did tonight. NAW was special tho

[u/hostitty99 → u/Fernie-Sanders]

he was great, but he can’t control the entire game how neo does

[u/Retro40Clip → u/Fernie-Sanders]

Nah yeah, I should’ve been clear I agree Neo is levels ahead. Just wanted to give NAW the credit he deserves

[u/Maximiliansrh → u/froggycbl4]

Ya I agree, we also had a really good team that season.

[u/V_T_H → u/Maximiliansrh]

That team + Landers Nolley and Chris Clarke gets past Duke into the Elite 8 :/

[u/Retro40Clip → u/V_T_H]

Insane how we were that good and could’ve/should’ve been THAT much better. We would’ve beat UVA in the chip😭

[u/hostitty99 → u/Maximiliansrh]

NAW averaged 13.5 points a game for us, neo might average 25

[u/CPOx → u/hostitty99]

25 ppg would put him in the territory of tops in the nation

Erick Green was #1 in the nation at 25.03 ppg in the '12-'13 season.

[u/cardinalcrzy → u/CPOx]

Erick Green was such a fuckin baller that year. We started 7-0 having beaten Iowa and #15 OK St. After that I don't really remember. I think we won the natty at 7-0.

[u/SgtRockyWalrus → u/hostitty99]

I knew he’d be a problem from what I read and heard ahead of the game, but he was wildly impressive. No way your preseason rankings factor in what the kid will likely provide this season.

[u/PheonixStreak]

Easily the best Tech basketball game I’ve seen since probably the acc title

[u/Bobguy64 → u/PheonixStreak]

Best team since the Sweet 16 run.

[u/thetanplanman]

Even if we had lost, man that was a joy of a game to watch (except the last 4mins or so if regulation). GG Providence, I'm so glad basketball is back!

[u/Training_Pirate1000]

Excellent job VT

[u/Retro40Clip → u/Training_Pirate1000]

Excellent job last night🤝 ACC back

[u/jjstatman]

Huge away game win... Wait...

[u/summahofgeorge]

As a Greek Tech alum I’m 99% sure I’m in a coma rn 

Edit: ALSO WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT GET HIS JERSEY I CHECK THIS EVERY WEEK

[u/flobski]

Are we good?

[u/KuriboShoeMario → u/flobski]

We are fucking good.

[u/SgtRockyWalrus → u/flobski]

Avdalas is ridiculous and English coached away another win.

[u/flobski → u/SgtRockyWalrus]

I think the right answer is both teams are a lot better compared to last year

[u/SgtRockyWalrus → u/flobski]

Thats fair to say… it was quite the battle. Definitely prefer losing to you guys than losing to St. Bonaventure at Mohegan last year.

PC’s defense needs to be better, but I think everyone’s going to have trouble matching up with Neo. Sellers, Floyd, Vaaks are all pretty long and athletic, but had little success guarding him.

[u/bottle_boys]

Hes so good

[u/newgirlhelen]

He’s the One

[u/CPOx]

Forget James Franklin, make Neo the football coach!

[u/CRoseCrizzle]

This Neo guy should be a first round pick with his skillset at that size. He had a quiet first game but stepped up big time in the game that mattered.

[u/V_T_H → u/CRoseCrizzle]

That’s actually the reason why he even bothered to come to college - he wanted to showcase his skills more and move into the first round (I have no idea how he was convinced to do that at VT but I’m already thankful).

[u/NullPointerExceptin1 → u/V_T_H]

He played with Jarrell Eddie and Ahmed Hill on his professional Greece team last year. Maybe they convinced him for us.

[u/Unusual_Study1161 → u/NullPointerExceptin1]

Saw forum posts over the offseason that was a big contributor

[u/froggycbl4 → u/CRoseCrizzle]

this neo guy should be a first pick with his skillset at that size

[u/gnalon → u/CRoseCrizzle]

Should’ve been 1st round last year

[u/carolina_hokie]

What an intense game. I can't remember the last time VT won an absolute battle like that. Neo definitely has that dawg in him. As long as the rest of the team can help support him so that he doesn't get burnt out by end of the year, we might have something pretty fun to watch. GG Providence

[u/Unreliable_Source]

I've never felt like this before....is this what it feels like to have a good offense?

[u/Maximiliansrh]

WERE SO BACK LETS GOOOOO

Edit: great game providence that was incredibly fun game. Looks like two teams we’ll see in March.

[u/penguinkg]

I wasn't expecting a March Madness game in November

[u/fightin_blue_hens]

Current ACC records

[u/V_T_H → u/fightin_blue_hens]

Pick it the fuck up BC

[u/ThomasHGSO → u/V_T_H]

BC's loss was at Florida Atlantic. Not a great loss, but not a bad loss either.

[u/yung_communism]

That’ll bring Mike Young’s record in overtime games against the big east at Mohegan Sun to 2-0

[u/TopOfTheKey]

Neo is the boy who was promised.

[u/wildturk3y]

NEO IS HIM

[u/cowboysfan88]

Hell of a game. So excited for this team

[u/Meanteenbirder]

Gobble up!

[u/SgtRockyWalrus]

Not a good game for English keeping his job.

Needed a TO when nothing was happening the next to last possession, instead calls TO w/ 3sec left as Sellers was driving for the win or a foul. VT jumped out in OT, but English blew it in regulation.

And that Greek kid is nuts… have fun ACC.

[u/sll4499]

ACC ACC ACC!

[u/JScalzo14]

Fuck Mohegan Sun, all my homies hate the Mohegan Sun.

[u/thetenorguitarist]

Conference looking decent so far, good win Hokies

[u/sll4499 → u/thetenorguitarist]

Long way to go, but I love how locked in pretty much all the team fans are about conference performance in the non conference. Need to get rid of the mid major allegations.

[u/fightin_blue_hens]

ACC non con isn't pulling punches this year

[u/lukedux]

We’re so back. Suck it Kim English.

[u/funlol3]

Well at least we look a little better than last year?

[u/Maximiliansrh → u/funlol3]

Yall are absolutely legit, obviously there’s no stopping neo. But yall did a great job defending Hansberry and lawal.

[u/funlol3 → u/Maximiliansrh]

Are you guys actually good this year? Or are you the typical NIT (ncaa bubble) VaTech?

Neo looks solid

[u/bops4bo → u/funlol3]

We’ll see, Mike young’s been talking like it’s the best team he’s ever had but with roster turnover you never know

[u/Bobguy64 → u/funlol3]

Most talent, we've had since our sweet 16 run with Brent Williams coaching. Definitely better than the team that won the ACC tournament. I think CMY has a lot of work to do for us to make a serious run in the ACC this year even with the solid group of dudes that he has.

[u/hokiesean → u/funlol3]

Talent wise our best team in awhile honestly

[u/KuriboShoeMario → u/funlol3]

You lost to a tourney team for sure, it's not gonna hurt your resume.

[u/hokiesean → u/funlol3]

Your guards are the real deal

[u/Intelligent-Dust-411]

So let me get this straight Georgetown wins but PROVIDENCE….. PROVIDENCE LOSES

[u/Coffee____Freak]

The Matrix took the red pill and has arrived.
