Another Big Win for VT
Beat #15 Clemson last night at home. Solid effort from the crowd - Clemson was 2/8 from foul line at one point.
Clemson was missing their starting PG, but I’ll take it. Important game given that we have some tough games coming up.
We are a legit 5 seed IMO. We’ll be a 9.

VT is in the tourney- lock now. Having said that, if Buzz would schedule say- a top 200 OOC instead of the worst in the country, we would be sweating a lot less. His ability to find plus 300 RPI teams out of conference in uncanny.

Our next games are against Louisville, Duke and Miami; and then, hopefully, a quality opponent in Brooklyn. From memory, we have OOC wins over Big 10 and SEC teams. I think you can find something better to bitch about than their strength of schedule.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
Reading is fundamental. I said out of conference schedule. The one that is ranked 319 in the country by Ken Pom and RPI. That's what I was referring to. That is what also has Clemson on the 4 line and VT on the 10 line right now, if you think its meaningless to bitch about.ip_law-hokie wrote:CFB Apologist wrote:VT is in the tourney- lock now.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
My point being that we don't need a tough OOC to have a reasonably strong schedule, and that we've had the opportunity, and obtained, respectable OOC wins as it is.CFB Apologist wrote:Reading is fundamental.

And I'm not buying that our schedule is why we are projected to be a 10. We are projected to be a 10 because the NCAA screws VT and they are projecting what the NCAA will do.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
Yeah, Im going with a key, documented metric the committee uses vs. its a conspiracy against VT. Yes the ACC is plenty tough, but the committee is going to penalize you for playing an absurd schedule out of conference- as they should, and as they will to VT. My point was that for 4 million per year, perhaps Buzz and staff can find some shitty top 200 RPI teams to play and beat as opposed to 350 ranked rpi teams? EVERY other ACC team does it.ip_law-hokie wrote:My point being that we don't need a tough OOC to have a reasonably strong schedule, and that we've had the opportunity, and obtained, respectable OOC wins as it is.CFB Apologist wrote:Reading is fundamental.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
Our OOC scheduling is ridiculous. We don't have to play good teams, we just have to switch out a DII team, or two, for a bottom feeder D1.ip_law-hokie wrote:My point being that we don't need a tough OOC to have a reasonably strong schedule, and that we've had the opportunity, and obtained, respectable OOC wins as it is.CFB Apologist wrote:Reading is fundamental.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
It's not rocket science, that is why is it so frustrating. Buzz goes out of his way to schedule the WORST RPI teams- SWAC and MEAC teams, VMI, etc. If we simply scheduled a couple AAC teams- South Florida, ECU, Memphis or Missouri Valley teams instead if Delaware state, we would jump 100 spots. Even with a trip to Kentucky this year, our OOC schedule is 319. Its asinine, especially in his 3-4th year here.HokieFanDC wrote:Our OOC scheduling is ridiculous.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
No, we're a 9/10 because we had a horrible OOC schedule. It's there in black and white in all of the evaluations. Has pushed our RPI down 20+ points.ip_law-hokie wrote:My point being that we don't need a tough OOC to have a reasonably strong schedule, and that we've had the opportunity, and obtained, respectable OOC wins as it is.CFB Apologist wrote:Reading is fundamental.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
I wouldn’t say we are a lock but we certainly are playing well when it matters most. I predict an 8 seed.

Re: Another Big Win for VT
VT is in. Lock. 9-9 in the ACC is a 10 seed at worst. And I think we will steal 1 of these last 3 and likely beat our opponent in NY since we will have a bye. 11 ACC wins could put us as high as a 6 seed. But if we don't win again, we are a 10-11 seed depending on pods, locations, etc.Bay_area_Hokie wrote:I wouldn’t say we are a lock but we certainly are playing well when it matters most.
