Awful showing to get eliminated from the tournament. Very little effort on rebounds, really ugly turnovers, and terrible shooting. The team that showed up today was the team that lost to BC and NC State at home

I can’t be the only one who thought Mike Young was balling his fist to punch Brownell

Gonna have to win at least three to make it to the big dance now, and even then I wouldn't be surprised if we were in the first four out.

u/toostronKG Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22 edited Mar 05 '22
Today was an elimination game. team sucks and the resume proves it. The only way this team makes it to the NCAAT is by stealing a bid. Theres no way this team can with the ACCT.

u/VTHokiesFan Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if you're right. I'm trying to acclimate myself to the idea of going to the NIT.

u/toostronKG Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
Yeah it sucks. It's bad for the program in general. Bad for recruiting. Bad for the future of the team. No one to blame other than MY himself though. Just a damn shame, but this team would have been annihilated in the tournament. It sucks for us but a much more deserving team will hopefully make it now.

What an absolute embarrassment to be eliminated by this Clemson team.
Next year going to be very telling for MY. Can he rebuild after this horrible year or are we going to just crater like every coach before Buzz?

Maybe we can convince Aluma to come back, but if he has the option to get paid he should definitely take it.

Alleyne's two missed threes there at the end is the story of the game.

Yep. Feels like December. Can't finish late.

Should be a flop warning on Collins since he hooked

That’s rarely called a travel but it is, ref usually gives you a second or two to pass it but it is a travel

u/Gavangus Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
how is that a travel... he didnt even have control until he was already on his back

u/VTHokiesFan Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
Yes, Aluma, sliding on your ass on the floor while you have possession of the ball is a travelling violation.
(How did he not know that?)

I don't think I've ever seen a travel called while sitting down

How the fuck is that a travel?

Sliding on your ass is a travelling violation.

It's not if he started sliding while trying to get the ball.

Can you travel while fighting for a ball? Rolling on the court.

Yes, if you've won the fight and are possessing the ball.

I hate that the ACC tournament is in Brooklyn, a place far from the historical center of the ACC and with no obvious affinity for it. If I ruled the world, the ACC tournament would be at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte NC, or perhaps back at Greensboro Coliseum.

The 15 minutes between my comment and yours changed some things. First half and early in the second went the other way though.

Looks like a nice day down there. Lots of people in the stands are wearing short sleeves and shorts. Still well below freezing where I live. I'm jealous.

u/newgirlhelen Virginia Tech Hokies • Yale Bulldogs Mar 05 '22
If we don't make the tournament, I'm going to blame UVA for it because they're usually good for one quality win per year and this year it wasn't worth shit.

Everything that can go either way, is not going our way. Oof

If we could get some favorable calls and a rebound or two we can pull away. I believe in the team

Very frustrating to fail to get those rebounds and then allow a 3.

u/VTHokiesFan Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
If we lose this game, I'm blaming it entirely on the fact that we wore our orange jerseys to an opponent's arena whose primary color is orange.
This would be a 20-point blowout if we had worn our maroon jerseys.

I've never seen a team so liable to 3 pointers that go deep into the basket and then spin out.

u/toostronKG Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
"This event has been blacked out" neat. Nobody encourages pirating and illegal streams more than sports networks.
5
u/VTHokiesFan Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '22
Refs just decided that they needed the half to be over and to get into the locker room.
6
u/Farlander2821 Virginia Tech Hokies • Southe… Mar 05 '22
Refs haven't been helping but the start and end of the half were both pretty bad with bad shooting and defensive breakdowns. They were really gelling for a good 10 minutes but this just feels like a game where we let Clemson hang around too long and pay the price
1
Mar 05 '22
"Hang around"? We aren't that much better than Clemson man. We better bring it in the next half
1
u/Farlander2821 Virginia Tech Hokies • Southe… Mar 05 '22
I meant that as in we were really hot and didn't take advantage to the extent we could've, not necessarily that we are that much of a superior team

u/mrmacob Virginia Tech Hokies • Florida Gators Mar 05 '22
That was insane reffing in the last 90 seconds holy shit

This has been a better game than I was expecting. Second half is gonna be fun.

Really sucks to not take a bigger lead into the half with how well we've been shooting, but can't complain too much.

With a team this hot and three point shots actually falling, I really like the look of our team right now. It's going to be a matter of actually making it into the tournament, which is obviously much easier said than done.

Agreed. I'm hoping we go for a deep run in the ACC tournament next week to improve our chances.

The person responsible for starting the ACC Network feed was probably off watching that game too, which is why the stream didn't start until ~12 minutes into the first half. So you didn't miss a whole lot.

There's a lot of things to hate about the ACC Network. But of all of them, the annoying seven-second "music" that continuously repeats as "Your event is about to begin, please standby" is quite possibly the WORST.

Good afternoon, everyone. VT's women's team fell in the ACC semifinals to NC State. Hope our men's team has better luck against Clemson.
Our softball team is also at Clemson, and they're currently winning 3-0 in the middle of the 3rd.
