Tigers are 3 pt underdog against VT -- not bad. Realtime has the Tigers losing 79-72. VT will probably have a noisy ACC crowd attending the game.

Against Miami and Maryland, the Tigers more athletic players --- Bell, Caruso, Cook and Cannady competed at a high level. Bell has regressed somewhat but let's see how the Tigers perform. Against Miami and Maryland, Weisz and Cook had their 3 pt shots off.

It would be nice to see the Tigers play well against good competition.

Another chance to show what we can do against a Power Conference opponent. We'll need to win games like this next year if we want to go anywhere.

Suddenly a lid on the basket. Hokies score 11 in a row. Down 13-12

I can't look at Buzz Williams without thinking his head is going to explode.

Lots of hand action on defense by the Hokies; refs not calling it.

Buzz's collar is too tight PU looks a little tight from 3.

Not our night. Not just missing open shots but missing BADLY. Bricks and near air balls. Va Tech is good but this is really a disappointing showing by the Tigers. Down 28-17.

I stand corrected. Mitch calls a timeout. Tigers turn up the defensive pressure, start hitting shots and score 7 straight. 28-24 with the ball at under 4 timeout.

Nice comeback. But Bell misses open three, then ill-fated drive to hoop before the end of the half.

Terrible non-call on Bell drive to the hoop, Hokies foul (no call) run the other way for a breakaway hoop as the buzzer sounds. Down 6 at the break after a brutal 4-point swing. That hurts!

Homecourt refs giving us zero FTs despite getting hammered every drive. Other than that, a ton of missed wide-open 3s.

Playing way below our ability, but it'll be good experience either way. VT is being physical, so that's good preparation for next year.

After brilliant start, Tigers go 7 minutes without scoring, go down 11, come back to trail by 6 at half. With 9 first half turnovers and 4/16 shooting from beyond the arc, score could be worse.

Game over.

We're getting easy wide-open 3s every single time but can't make them. Homecourt is huge for VT. The guys look like they just want to go home right now.

The Tigers just keep missing w-i-d-e o-p-e-n threes. They mind as well be shooting from half court. Down 11. If they start hitting they could come back quickly but so far very frustrating game.

When they go into masonry mode, they really do some major building.

Cook has started driving the ball and scoring to cut lead to 8. Others just keep getting wide open threes and missing. Will the kid ever come off the hoop?
