There does seem to be a pattern to many of our close games after the final

media timeout. In each of our close games we seem to be unable to execute for a few minutes between ~3:30 - ~:30 left in the game.. I felt like this was a recurring theme so I went back and tracked our possession under 4 minutes. I did cherry pick to paint the worst picture with an arbitrary cut-off for the possessions I tracked, but I did not leave out any possessions on the play by play from where I started and ended tracking.

Obviously there are many factors at play here and likely not one single cause of this. Most likely just coincidence but still curious..

It shows that we played poorly down the stretch. -- NC Hoke 01/17/2022 4:46PM

What adjustments can be made when the shots don't fall? (esp from outside) -- 6thStreetHokie 01/17/2022 10:35AM

Get better shots or get to foul line more. -- 1980VT 01/17/2022 7:00PM

Really appreciate the insight, great post GC ** -- 4dhokies 01/17/2022 10:02AM

Agree wholeheartedly. I felt good at half time of ND game. I though we had -- uber hokie 01/17/2022 08:06AM

That's exactly how I felt too. Word for word. ** -- IB4TECH 01/17/2022 12:38PM

Love having you here ** -- BleedinOandM 01/17/2022 05:20AM

Seth Greenberg has often said, “It’s a make and miss game” -- HokieSA 01/16/2022 4:40PM

It is a simple game-fans and especially coaches want to make you think it’s -- uber hokie 01/16/2022 7:31PM

Yep. 3 pt line makes it “live by the sword, die by the sword”. ** -- marcbvtgm 01/17/2022 6:51PM

Reminds me of the old “we just gotta execute” -- BioVTjunkie 01/16/2022 4:12PM

Theres a difference between executing and bad luck... -- GCHokie34 01/16/2022 4:25PM

I’d say a missing shot is the equivalent of an incomplete pass -- Hokie1992 01/17/2022 08:38AM

Not necessarily. Mediocre QB's can complete 50% or more -- 1980VT 01/17/2022 7:05PM

The two losses before the team had trouble even getting shots off -- hokieton 01/17/2022 01:35AM

If your relying on outside shooting.. your expected outcome is down to luck -- VermontDDS 01/16/2022 7:50PM
