The only criticism i would have: Robinson needs to settle down
He had several turnovers because of flash passes, dribbling in to deep. One was a careless turnover when he realized he was almost alone on a fast break and pounded the body into a ND player and simply lost the ball. THat was unnecessary. He is also good for at least one pass to a spot where no one is or just left. That is communication but even on the play in question, the pass recipient did what he was supposed to do when someone dribble penetrates opposite direction.
Then you have the good passes to a rolling Blackshear or a pass to Outlaw in the corner. The game would likely have been a blowout earlier than the final minutes without some turnovers we didn't need.
What happened to 3-second calls? Mooney was fouled once when he had the ball in possession for a bit. Even later juggling it, he had possession.
VT played a name team and won; we have been young and hurt so no mercy but it is good to get a win against a Brey-coached team. Walker, Hill, Outlaw all pretty much played within themselves. Bede was efficient with an airball and Horne did some good things. This was a nice win.
