IMO we didn't look loose, we just looked beat for most of the 2nd half. Bad

turnovers on lazy passes, a few dumb fouls because we were slow to defend, 3-10 from the FT line (a sign of a tired team), and settling for long shots rather than taking it to them. We were not interested in battling for a really long stretch.

Look at the numbers:
1st half: 43 points: FG: 15-24 (63%), 3FG: 6-8 (75%), FT: 7-7 (100%) Only 8 of our 24 shots were from 3.
2nd half: 23 points: FG: 8-24 (33%), 3FG: 4-16 (25%), FT: 3-10 (30%) Two-thirds of our shots were from 3; because we did not work for better shots.

We gave up on working for shots and just chucked the rock. This is the very reason we lost to Clemson the first time after having a big lead. We nearly did the same thing again ... thankfully that didn't happen. Don't understand why CMY did not call a TO and say "Get to the rim".

I know that most of us were annoyed with the sloppiness… -- Ultra Hokie 03/10/2022 12:22PM

They played scared down the stretch. It was evident in their body language. ** -- Foxhall Hokie 03/10/2022 12:51PM

But that has been their MO for some time -- Ultra Hokie 03/10/2022 1:06PM

I think it was more like they played “ not to lose” -- sacramento hokie 03/10/2022 1:05PM

In the case of Pedula and Mutts sloppiness at the end, I fully disagree -- Ultra Hokie 03/10/2022 1:09PM

Dude we only scored like 23 points in the second half -- sacramento hokie 03/10/2022 2:30PM

CMY changed his offense in 2nd half -- NC Hoke 03/10/2022 3:19PM

Maddox and Pedulla are the only guys comfortable under pressure -- soflahokie 03/10/2022 12:54PM

Are you sure that they can do as well if they are the focus? -- VTCALS72 03/10/2022 2:06PM

I'd add Mutts to the list, even though he isn't an outside shooter -- Maroon Baboon 03/10/2022 1:19PM

Last night was won by Maddox and Storm ** -- LakeMontHokie 03/10/2022 1:10PM

I agree but Aluma had a few fantastic rebounds -- VBpescador 03/10/2022 1:13PM

And Mutts; he crashed the boards for a follow slam and stick back 2. Huge! ** -- 86TechHokie 03/10/2022 2:13PM
