What's this?

Not sure that's fair. Part of it is teams are choosing to play him . . .

differently in 'crunch time'. Generally no one is double-teaming for the first 35 minutes. Some have in the last 5. Where Aluma really needs to improve is defensively. The drive-dunk his man scored in the last three minutes is the perfect example. Had Keve taken away his right hand that would have never happened.

I was there. He went into a shell and was hesitant after we took the lead -- hokiepro 01/15/2022 9:25PM

Maybe but without his contributions up until “ clutch time” we are not even -- uber hokie 01/15/2022 9:09PM

Yes that’s what I mean he’s very good; he needs to be confident & assertive -- hokiepro 01/15/2022 9:12PM

I didn’t get to watch much, but he was pretty clutch -- GCHokieof91 01/15/2022 9:06PM

Yeah he got us the lead and was pretty steady but his poor pass attempt to -- hokiepro 01/15/2022 9:10PM
