I’m starting to hate Virginia Tech basketball.


Dec 15, 2020, 11:21 PM

We never seem to play well against them. I always feel like we are better than they are, but we somehow find a way to play poorly against them.

Don’t get me wrong, I think they have a good coach. They already beat Villanova this year, so this wasn’t a bad loss by any means. But what are the odds that we have pretty much everyone have a subpar game on the same night?

We will learn from this and get better.

At least our mascot isn’t a freaking turkey.

How did that former Wofford coach get away? Right in Clemson's backyard. Certain that some of those were Wofford players that transferred with him.

I’d rather have Brownell than Young as our coach


Dec 15, 2020, 11:31 PM

but I do think Young is a good one. He will do a good job at VT.

Mike Young is a Virginia native. I think that was a big part of why he left Wofford. Family/parents in Virgina.

I think this team may be a bit tired. They will bounce back.

That was a pretty strong comeback those guys done in the last 5 minutes of the game to come up a couple of points shorts. I say a couple of point bc, the foul in the last seconds where they went up by 4, it was a foul that had to be made, and the worse part of it was, we fouled their best FT shooter, I think he is 85% from the line!!! Ouch!!!!

For me, it might just be the ACC. Admittedly, I didn’t watch the entire game (just some of the first half and the last 10 minutes). The times I did put it on I knew it was ACC season. Who has more fouls? Clemson. Who’s shot more free throws? Not Clemson. Ok, I get it, it’s ACC basketball season again. When does Swofford retire again?

I’m only partly serious. Agree that it seemed everyone had forgettable plays and played down. This season is going to be a ton of fun.

Go Tigers!

We missed free throws.

We had more than one long scoring drought.

That's happened in every game and it's made games where we were up by 10 exciting, but when you are tied or down and go on a scoring drought, you end up down 10+.

and then there's the late rally to make things close.

This game was more like the games the last couple of years which is why the jury is still out on this season.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We were a tired team. This was our third game in seven days.


Dec 17, 2020, 12:18 PM

Plus, we didn't have Tyson.

None of these are excuses, as we certainly had plenty of bodies and should've executed better. But I would like to see us play VT with similar rest, not with us having a game a couple of days before and VT having a longer break.

I expect to see us learn from this and bounce back just fine. This team has the grit of prior Brownell teams, but more talent and depth.

I know we say a lot that the Refs were putting themselves to much into a game, but I believe that would fit pretty well in our game with VT today!!!

Virginia Tech had a week to prepare for Clemson, Clemson only had three days to prepare for Virginia tech. I think that was a big factor. But they are a good team. I was really impressed with Radford. I think he was the kid that had the incredible dunk where he was fouled. He’s left-handed and dunked with his right hand and he’s only about 6-2. Crazy

We need to stop playing the Hokies to begin the league games. They gave us our first loss last year too! I hope BB settles on a lineup to use it close games. Experimenting is tough Especially on the road.

"Starting"? I've never really cared for them in any sport.


Dec 16, 2020, 7:31 AM

I can't think of a better team to beat besides, the coots and the irish.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonormyfavorange.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They've always been kind of neutral to me.

Not true anymore.

can’t wait until we play other acc schools that we have an overall winning record against.

wait...

I for one am glad you are stopping. You are one of the most ignorant posters ever. You obviously think very highly of your own opinion, unlike the rest of us - RockHillTiger


I’m pleased with the play this far. I’m anxiously awaiting my opportunity to eat crow. However,


Dec 16, 2020, 2:55 PM

We have done well non-conference before and then the ACC was too much for us. I’ll marinate my crow a little longer first . . .

I don't know about other years but it seemed to me, while watching the game, that the reason we were playing "down" had something to do with VT. Just like when Purdue and Maryland played down against us, it had something to de with Clemson's defense.

Also, VT was getting much easier shots and were dominating the paint; usually a good sign of which team is more likely to win. Our interior defense was not doing the job, and this may be a continuing issue against teams that have a strong inside player - unless we start double teaming them (?).
