What's this?

Yes the women are greatly improved.

Last year, the women won a total of 10 games in regular season and just one conference game. They added 2 wins in the ACC tourney for a total of 12 wins all year.

The women have already won 14 regular games this season and 2 conference games. They have already exceeded the regular season total by 4 games. They have already exceeded the conference wins by one game. There are 10 games in the regular season left. These are the games left:

(1) FSU (16-4, 6-1) - we will lose this one
(2) Puke (15-6, 4-3) - we will likely lose but there is a slim chance we could upset
(3) UNC (12-10, 2-5) - winnable, need to take advantage
(4) GT (12-8, 2-5) - winnable
(5) Pitt (9-11, 1-6) - winnable
(6) WF (11-9, 2-5) - winnable
(7) UM (17-3, 5-2) - we lose, hope for a split maybe
(8) Hoos (13-8, 3-4) - winnable, most likely split

We should win 4 more which would mean a final record of 18-11 and 6-10 in conference. That would be 8 more regular season wins total and 5 more wins in conference.

And we could win as many as 6 games. That would put us at 20-9, and 8-8 in conference.

I would call that major improvement

Next year, Hicks, Koshuta and Gilmer will have a year of experience. we will add Genesis Parker who is highly rated and the girl from Christ the King HS in NYC which puts out pretty good ball players. We do need to add some taller girls. ND & Cuse had us in height. So we lost the boards.

One thing to keep in mind, Dennis had only coached men before. Tactics and strategy etc don't vary much but recruiting does. He had no in-roads into the HS girls circuits. That is changing. His first assistants were less experienced and not very good. The new assistants are a great improvement.

IMHO, we have shown much improvement and are heading in the right direction.

Yeah, Buzz is comparable (rolls eyes) -- 48zip 01/25/2016 08:44AM

Not trying to compare. Looking for honest reason why one -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:11PM

Mainly coaching talent. But.....look at -- 48zip 01/25/2016 8:14PM

I think Wolff is making $233,000 plus other benefits. -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 9:25PM

Rather not have a Hoo, no matter how good she might be. ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:55PM

Sounds like wbball is not that important at VT. That's fine but you aren't -- tweed7 01/25/2016 9:44PM

Oh, I agree with you! ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:24PM

Something looks out of whack here.. -- farmville hokie 01/25/2016 1:52PM

WBB is more competitve than WLAX in the ACC. -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 4:41PM

W lax has 2 ACC wins in 12 years-- uva in OT & BC, also by 1 goal. ** -- squarerootofone 01/25/2016 10:29PM

I knew it was something like that... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 10:53PM

Difference: WBB is a revenue sport. ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:13PM

How much revenue does WBB generate? ** -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 10:56PM

If it's $1, it's more than WLAX. Thing thing is, with a good program -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/26/2016 09:36AM

I'd bet that only a few WBB programs make a profit. -- Old Line Hokie 01/26/2016 11:19AM

Can't be much. Cassell is always pretty empty. ** -- tweed7 01/25/2016 11:02PM

I believe it actually loses money. ** -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 01:37AM

I doubt attendance even pays the staff's salaries. -- Old Line Hokie 01/26/2016 11:12AM

Nobody makes a profit- not even TN with best attendance. See Article. -- KnoxHokie 01/26/2016 7:12PM

Per article TN and UCONN each spend over 6 miliion -- hokiehoo1 01/27/2016 9:34PM

Wow. I assumed UT and UCONN were at least break-even. ** -- 48zip 01/27/2016 2:55PM

I doubt Whit pulls the plug on Wolff.... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 11:10AM

I think Whit will need to give a longer extension -- maddogbob 01/25/2016 6:07PM

Spill the beans. Which recruits are lobbying for a DW extension? ** -- tweed7 01/26/2016 09:12AM

Sorry but yours is a dumb comment. See Frank Beamer. Recruits -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 7:05PM

And a REAL coach who wins would do wonders for recruiting. ** -- tweed7 01/26/2016 9:24PM

You said we were Top 20 last year. Not bad IMHO. ** -- 48zip 01/27/2016 09:47AM

Serious question: are the recruits he's brought in ACC caliber? -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:14PM

Thanks! ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:56PM

Yes. VP, DP, KK, BB all had ACC offers per quick google search! ** -- tweed7 01/25/2016 9:28PM

Last years class was a top 20 class. That would be Hicks, Gilmer & Koshuta -- maddogbob 01/25/2016 8:25PM

Recruiting has gotten better.... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 9:16PM

Coming in greatly overweight does put one behind. -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 01:39AM
