One thing that gets lost in the hand-wringing from last year that Clarke and Nolley were out, they still would have had a max ceiling of Sweet 16 given J-Rob's injury. He was what made that team go. VT was a completely different team without him, and a shell of themselves with him playing hurt.

BUT THATS WHY YOU ALWAYS USE YOUR SCHOLARSHIPS!!!!

You run into a season where Clarke and Nolley are suspended, Radford is held out for some reason, Kabongo is a bust, J-Rob is hurt and you dont have enough players to practice.

It is incredibly short-sighted, and for someone who is as concerned with his self-image as Buzz is, youd think hed want to give himself the best opportunity to make a run in the tournament
