MBB vs VT 1/22/2025

[awbuzz]

Seems obvious, we don't have the horsepower to overcome a lot of mistakes.

“... We gotta quit making mistakes to put ourselves in a bad way, whether that’s a live-ball turnover, whether that’s shot selection at that time, whether that’s missing a defensive assignment.”

Fledgling Georgia Tech hosts Virginia Tech on Wednesday

The Yellow Jackets desperately needs wins, and they have have two remaining games in January, both against teams with losing records.

Time to get back into the W column tonight!

The word "fledgling" says everything about the state of our basketball program. Exactly six NCAA tournament games since Hewitt's final four team (almost 21 seasons) and 13 NCAA tournament games since Cremins retired.

Program is 11-18 in the ACC Tournament over the past 20 years (with 1 title and 1 COVID cancellation). In 12 of the 18 years with a loss the Jackets were one and done. Sadly in only three of the 20 years saw our guys with a first round bye.

This is not meant to be a doom and gloom post, merely a statement of facts (which cannot be denied)

So why did you choose this thread when there are 47 others with the same sense of doom and gloom?

A must-win. The top 15 teams of 18 total from regular season play earn postseason bids to the 2025 ACC Men's basketball tournament. We are 15th now with the same number ACC wins as VT. The weather in ATL may be an issue for on-site fans tonight as well.

Here's hoping for a healthier roster and a good outcome. Even when my team isn't good, I like watching them.

The word fledgling made me think, and research. See you tonight at McCamish!

If it is not meant as a doom and gloom post then why share it. Don't you. think we are all well aware of our program's frustrating results over the past several years?

We are favored by 5.5. Should be a winnable game.

Will also be a contrast between VT's motion offense and our space and drive approach.

Will also be a contrast between our coach’s facial expression of calm exasperation and their coach’s look of intense murderous anger
