What's this?

The book is out on us now and it’s largely the same as last year.

“Pressure the ball, overplay the perimeter to take away the outside shot, and make VT drive to the basket to beat you.”

As frustrating as these two losses were … we could have won both games … it’s good that we’re learning this now rather than later. In the second half last night, I thought we were much better at attacking the rim. Pedulla’s emergence is a major plus. MY will coach ‘em up before ACC play starts.
