It’s been nearly a month since Virginia Tech has played a complete basketball game.  You have to go all the way back to Thanksgiving Day, November 24, when the Hokies hammered New Mexico 92-72 in Anaheim.  They’ve played seven games since then, and although they are 6-1 in those games, they’ve yet to play a complete 40 minutes of basketball in that stretch.

Why?  There could be a couple of reasons.

1: This team isn’t quite where it needs to be yet.
2: This team is bored.  They are ready for ACC play, and they are just killing time until it gets here.

I’m not sure there’s a right answer.  In fact, I think it’s probably both.  I think you have to take each game individually for what it is.
