Figured I would start this up. Game is on now on ESPN3. Loving the new road uniforms!

9-0 start for Va Tech. Not a good start...

Ugly start.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

size and talent may hurt this team more than i first thought

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

Hare, Aaman, TJ all in now

Nik and Powell stay in

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

13-6 at the under 12 timeout. Weathered the early storm a little there and have a chance to stay in the game now. Aaman playing hard once again...really like this kid so far. Nothing pretty, but gets the job done.

Rhodygirl2 · Unread post by **Rhodygirl2** » 11 years ago

Not mad at the defense but wow brick city on the offense.

Uniforms are ok but they look awful with mismatched blue underneath.

If anyone has figured out how to get espn3 to work on their smart tv let me know, watching on computer now, got stuck on an "upgrade flash" notice on the tv. Like you would see on an iPad.

played the best when Powell is off the floor

Powell playing about as poorly as possible right now. Needs to stop shooting.

Watching ESPN3 right now online with Cox. ESPN3 as many others have already stated is exclusively an online only feed.

It's gonna be a long season

But already I can see good ball movement

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

powell should only play when #5 for VT is on the floor

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

and buchanan hurt again...hopefully he's ok

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Didnt look good for Buchanon, thats a shame. Munford does look much better so far tonight offensively.

I had the same issue when trying to use my Ipad. Once I switched to my laptop I was fine. It no longer asks you to pick a provider.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

And already we see the difference between last year and this year. Last year we would have given up and been down 20. This year we fight and are down 4.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

powell may not actually be that bad he gets to the rim just doesn't have the size to finish

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

forcing too much this last minute on offense

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Man Green is killing us right now...

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 11 years ago

Go from being down 4 to being down 12 in the span of a minute. Brutal. Defense needs to adjust in second half, have to stop collapsing on the interior. Everytime we do they kick it out and hit a three.

URI_05 · Unread post by **URI_05** » 11 years ago

Ugh, this is going to be a tough season. I think Biruta and Matthews are going to make a huuuuuuge difference next year though.

I like what I see in terms of ball movement and defense for the most part. The talent just isn't there.

URI96 · Unread post by **URI96** » 11 years ago

The 8-0 run to end the half was a killer

Ha..

section(105) · Unread post by **section(105)** » 11 years ago

We seem to dig ourselves the early big hole, is the Rhody "A" game this year more of the same but making a few more shots?? I know the sked is set well in advance, but maybe this team(and next years?)could benfit from some cupcakes in the early pre-conference sked??

This offense is hard to watch. At least I'm doing well on the trivia.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

we can't hit a 3 and they can't really miss

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Munford does look so much better tonight. I was worried after the last game.

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 11 years ago

Munford is starting to live up to his potential. The open 3's on defense are starting to get old. We saw enough of that last year.

Kingston · Unread post by **Kingston** » 11 years ago

Just started watching what hopped to Tj. Mumford looks good

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 11 years ago

TJ rolled an ankle in the first half, at least that's what it looked like.

Hurt the same foot again. COuldnt put much weight on it. Didnt look good.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 11 years ago

Seemed to have an issue with his foot, which i think was what he just recovered from.

Nice and-1 opportunity for Munford coming up...

We could use TJ right now POwell not getting it done

Rhodygirl2 · Unread post by **Rhodygirl2** » 11 years ago

Biggest disappointment so far is Hare, that sequence a few mins ago is typical, pass to him and he's not ready, ball bounces off hands, they get it back to him again and he misses the shot and instead of going hard on the rebound he drops his shoulders sulking. Coach seems to put him in for a min, sees that he isn't into the flow and isn't working hard and pulls him.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

1 for 14 from 3...

Munford!

The missed free throws are really starting to irritate me. What the F!?

There's no way that is true. He is already better in one and a half games than any big man we had last season.

Rhodygirl2 · Unread post by **Rhodygirl2** » 11 years ago

Aaman has altered a lot of shots and is always in the hunt for the rebound, I'm really impressed, better than D3 in my book.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

Really beginning to look like the holdovers from the Baron error just weren't that good, except Nik and TJ at times. That might even include Hare, although the jury's still out on him, seeing that it's only his 2nd game. He's got to work harder though, or he'll be sitting way more than he plays.

The one thing that we can hang our hat on this year, though, is that they won't give up [Hurley won't let them] and they should improve as time goes on.

But, NO inside game at all. Ouch.

Matunuck · Unread post by **Matunuck** » 11 years ago

No complaints from me on Aaman. He hustles, runs the floor, has great position on D, and rebounds. You can't ask for more in a freshman.

Andrew · Unread post by **Andrew** » 11 years ago

Boy, Hare is disappointing. Absolutely nothing from him yet this season.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

i think malone might be the most overrated player we have. he can't hit a shot, can't play defense

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 11 years ago

Hare has LOTS to prove. Amazing how so many believed the hype and that got him on a all-rookie team, or top 30 impact freshman. So funny now that we have seen him play.

Kingston · Unread post by **Kingston** » 11 years ago

Lets not compare last years team. I would rather watch these guys struggle than last years embrassment. Talking about AAMens athletic ability
