Also, best effort by a Hokie team in recent memory. Left absolute nothing on the floor.
No legs played a factor in missing those free throws.
Wish we could put the mindset in a bottle for the rest of the year.
Would be hard to beat.
I feel badly for the players.

Best Coached game in the SG era, IMHO! (more)

Perhaps but FSU looked largely disinterested and when they were interested, they were so sloppy. I do credit the zone and the stalling too as it almost worked.

Silly post. First of all - FSU played terrible for 35 minutes. There were more unforced turnovers in that game than any I've seen this year.

If you don't finish then it doesn't count for much. A loss is a loss

Not a CSG fan. I call them like I see them, and you have to give credit where credit is due. Originally Posted by ctdc79

I realize that some teams are easier to zone than others, but I think we could be a pretty successful zone team against most opponents with that type of effort and execution.

Seth's always at his best when at a disadvantage or backed up against a wall. Originally Posted by VPI63

I agree. I was expecting a 20+ point loss. FTs were the dagger.

Seth talked about showing the Jeremy Lin interview - talked about energy and team. Something clicked. I felt really bad but they have to feel good when they feel better. It should galvanize them as a team. Even Barksdale goes and dresses out to be a body on the floor. We are Virginia Tech! But THEY get the accolades. It was their blood, sweat and tears.

That was a treble coached game... He is so bad and I refuse to care untill he is sent home in a flight. He can't coach... That's a fact... No defender can give an excuse. To blow two 15 or lead with pathetic stall offense is blind. Every ACC coach would be sent to the conference USA with this season.

We went from short bench to no bench. Players crampimg up, dragging themselves off the floor. No legs left even with the stall cost us the FT and the game. TREMENDOUS effort! Originally Posted by midtownHOKIE

And I don't defend CSG, BTW.
