You can’t tell me a timely timeout doesn’t stop momentum

Is this true? This year feels distinctly different but could be recency bias.

Building a culture through retention is a big piece of the puzzle for sure.

706

Losing all except GT seems the most likely situation as of now

707

Maybe one of these days we’ll have an alum broadcaster who’s a homer.

Getting beat badly sucks, but Cory being super obnoxious and giving Blacksburg BJs all game long sucked worse.

Worst Hoo game in years. Worst broadcast I’ve ever seen. Ali and Brooks and that god-awful sideline reporter talking for 15 minutes during game play — I just can’t.

Is that just ‘loss’ or can you factor in 15 point+ losses?

709

I think he looks more timid than he naturally is…I attribute that mainly dude to his lack of PT. Dude’s walking on eggshells.

Looking through it looks like mostly 2022 and this year. Thought 2021 for blown out more but it was just the Gonzaga and FSU games

711

Well, I don’t know when it started, but I’ll pretty much bet that Kirk Penney was the nail in the coffin…that guy did more harm to our basketball program than any single person post-natty. What an idiot!

712

He has zero touch around the rim. He gets plenty of good looks but just isn’t a good finisher.

Do we know what each assistant coach’s role is?

None of our bigs have touch. Minor Dunn BB all throw shot puts from 5 feet away

I think it’s fair to say talent evaluation has been quite poor over the past few years.

BART has us finishing 2-2, which I’d gladly take right now.

If we don’t make the tournament I’m not going to be super disappointed.

Two Words: “Kirk Penney” He single-handedly brought us Kody Stattman and Taine Murray…personally vouched for Kody. To this day I think he got a kickback from one of his buddies in NZ for that Kody deal. That was total bs

I get it but he is the only guy that comes into the game and attacks
