Cam was a pretty giant turd that game. If you don’t have any guards that want to stay in front of their man, at least have the 7’4 behemoth playing to deal with down low.

There’s just not a lot of talent out there. They play hard but that can only get you so far. I don’t think Virginia Tech is a tournament team.
They might be with those 2 guards.

They’re pretty much what I figured they’d be this year. A game or two either side of .500
Ben better get some athleticism for next year, recruiting needs to pick up & quick

FT shooting and Cam blowing those layups really fucking sucked. Baby Ben playing that long stretch sucked too but no one was really staying in front of Hammond.
maybe we should have tried the guy that slowed down the other quick guard we played.

Holy shit, the fucking sky is falling in here. Plenty to be optimistic about. Va Tech is going to be pretty damn good. They have 2 guards who can really score and that 4 who is pretty good too. Saw a lot of things that were good. Plenty to work on. They'll be fine. Especially if McKeever can get healthy.

Wtf was that stretch of Lil Ben from the 10-ish minute mark all the way to 5 minutes left? FFS. Getting blown by and air balling.

Had a chance to put some separation on the scoreboard, but McCollum keeps his kid in and he repeatedly gets abused on defense and VT ties it up. Free throws sucked. And Manyow really sucked down the stretch.

Happy with the rebounding and handling the physicality. Koch is an absolute stud. Coleman looked the part. Some good to be had in there, but what a frustrating game.

Howard looked good. Was a monster on the glass.

Yeah, I know Peyton ruins everything but JFC I feel like I watched a different game than half these faggots. Once Coleman solidifies himself as the best PG and Mckeever gets healthy there is alot to be optimistic about.

Of course McCollum is going to be the scapegoat, but the point differential in the 2nd half from when he entered to where he exited was negligible. Not sure exactly when he entered/exited, but at 10 minutes we were down 1 and at 5 minutes it was tied.

We're still a solid two years away from being a big ten roster all the way up and down the lineup. Right now it's still Koch and the mid major all stars. They absolutely can't miss on a PG in 28

Close to missing on a PG in 27.

Daughtry staying close to home I assume? Sucks being second. But with Fran we were really good at it.

They lost a home game to a undisciplined team that's going to be outside the bubble and not in the NCAA tourney while Ben played his Little Lord 17 minutes more than a 4* wing and 11 minutes more than a much better defensive 4* guard. All while being undisciplined themselves and maybe the worst free throw shooting team of the last decade of college basketball.

If anyone sees positive in that, you're looking through Elite Eight hangover colored glasses.

Ben McCollum really, really savored the smell of his own farts this offseason. He turned down the North Carolina job! The balding son of a bitch thinks he's invincible.
