i picked the 2 best offenses they played (#2 and #7 on kenpom.)

im not saying our defense is bad. im saying virginia's is absolutely insane. you can't compare anybody to them.

As far as I know he isn’t on pace to graduate this year.

His classes didn’t all transfer over from shu and he would need to sit out.

Virginia tech score over a point per possession and beat Virginia at home

West Virginia scorer 1.15 points per possession and beat them. They lose when their defense fails

Everyone loses against quality competition when part of their performance fails. That's the point. It happens to even the best teams. Villanova lost to Providence when their offense failed and to Butler when their defense failed.

VT scored 61 points on 60 possessions.

wvu score 1.10 ppp but virginia turned it over on 22.6% of their possessions, and without having watched the game i'd imagine they got some points off those turnovers.

i dont know too many teams that are going to be able to overcome that one.

Huh? Only one out of 104 projections has us as a 5. We're a 3 in the vast majority.

I still think we are solid but the thing that worries me most is losing at WSU and sharing the title 3 ways. We get a 2 or 3 seed and have to play Houston or WSU in the semis. If we lose that game we become the 3rd best team in our conference. Ouch!!

How many protected seeds do you think the committee is giving out to our conference...lol? That would be a brutal situation but it's definitely not far fetched. I'm rooting for both Houston and WSU to lose one more game... hahaha
