Proud of way we came back....

If didn't start so slow we would have won that game. Thus was a good loss. VA Tech is a good team who beat #3 Villanova. We will learn from this and get better.

We had our third game in a week after getting home from Atlanta Sunday morning at 1AM. VA Tech had a week to get ready for us at their place after not playing well vs Penn State. These things happen...

Again, we should expect more. You can be happy we lost if you want but I’m not.
Withou Dawes this game was a blowout.

Losing a close game on the road to a hot ACC team is unforgivable.
Some of you folks are living in a lifelong fantasy land.

When did I say I expected us to go undefeated ? I do expect us not to go on 7 minute scoring droughts to a middle of the road ACC team. I do expect Brownell not to draw up a 3 ball to Trapp at the end of the game when it got within 1 possession.
This game showed me what I’m used to under Brownell, and I’m not going to be proud of that.

I don’t know what you expect...

but I expect our team to play hard, never quit, and always strive to learn and get better.
We didn’t play well tonight. We made mistakes that hurt us, but they weren’t because of a lack of effort. We played hard as always, and put ourselves in position to win after being down 16.
I suggest you change your view so that you are able to recognize the effort tonight.
This is the kind of game that stinks to lose, but also one that can really be a building block as we progress through the season.
Give this team a chance to see how they respond. I predict that we will be very pleased.
P.S. I might’ve missed it, but did you post during our 5 game winning streak to start the season? I don’t recognize your screen name.

Moral victories are for coots (losers). The reason they have always sucked at football is the reason we have always sucked in basketball. Losing should be unacceptable- but it’s not for our basketball team.

Exactly. We should not accept these types of loses. It’s the same old bullsheet we’ve seen of years under Brownell.

A loss is not any kind of victory, moral or otherwise, but

... but, losing is definitely “acceptable” in college basketball for every single team in the nation.
Every team loses games.
Losses (especially on the road) are part of the game for all programs.
Competitive losses against good teams are not a reason to throw the team and coach under the bus.
This team is going to have a special season, in spite of the “devastating” setback this evening.
