That could be the reason for our current trend of collapsing with about 15 minutes to go. Happening right now, same as it has in the previous games. Tight score at 15 to go, blowout by 5 min to go.
Got to find it puzzling that JJ would rather play a walkon at PF, and our starting PF at C, while last year's starting center watches from the bench. Raines doesn't need to start over JVZ, but it's ridiculous that he doesn't replace him in the lineup while we're getting our butt's completely whipped and watching our lead turn into a major deficit.
Big shot by Emelgou to tie it with under 2:00. A win would be really nice.
Poor officiating at the end. Even worse free throw shooting and decision making on our part.
it's only speculation but it what i read was about effort and desire. maybe raines has given up? we don't know. we don't know about rankin so we can only speculate and read rumors. i'd like to know to figure out whether its jj or the players. doubt i will though.
When our PG is our worst free throw shooter, it says much of what you need to know about VT. That is amazing. Not just one game. If he would have made 80% of his free throws we would have won last game, and might have won this one.
31.3 percent from 3...28.6 percent from the FREE throw line. that is pathetic...is that on the players or the coaches? i've always been told that at this point of the season, that is on the players.
i almost wish they would make them shoot granny style no matter how stupid they think it looks.
