VT lost to Alabama St. Time for us to lose to a random Alabama school to cement our place as the worst team in the ACC to start the season. 11/15/2015 10:49:21 AM |

South Alabama is a very small team. They have one 7'1" freshman but he only played 11 min in their opening game
no other key contributors over 6'6"
expect Abu and Anya to have monster games 11/15/2015 10:59:59 AM |

I expect us to give up 90+ points 11/15/2015 11:19:04 AM |

I'm OK with that as long as we score 91+
we all know that a Gottfried doesn't give a shit about defense 11/15/2015 11:26:27 AM |

Are we playing Duke UNC or FSU (football)? Are we playing a top 10 team? Are we on a 10+ point run? Did we just throw down an amazing dunk?
If all no, then our crowd sucks.

against W&M he went for 21 pts and 50% shooting from 3 ... and people were asking why he was even in the game. Then this game at one point he was 4/5 from 3 and he went for another ~20 pts. was just confused11/15/2015 8:04:17 PM |

according to ESPNU Katt Williams is our point guard and we play Belmont instead of Arizona St 11/15/2015 8:04:28 PM |

While I agree with your overall sentiment about not judging players too early, I think plenty of idiots on websites for lots of schools would do the same thing. 11/15/2015 9:10:12 PM |

Another rough shooting night for Cat, but 12 boards and 8 assists plus 11/12 on FTs was impressive. Caleb was super efficient on offense and Nard Dog pulled down 13 boards.
Check out the box score and look at USA's starters. 7/33 for 22 pts. 11/15/2015 9:47:57 PM |

so since this is still on page 1 I take it we won 11/15/2015 9:48:51 PM |
AstralEngine All American 3864 Posts user info edit post |
Our defense was still largely terrible, and we didn't rebound as well as we should have against a smaller team, but at least our offense woke up in the second half and started moving without the ball.
All in all I'll mark it down as a step in the right direction and move on. 11/15/2015 10:25:31 PM |

His terrible defense stands out even against our usual bad defensive play.
It is a legitimate concern.11/15/2015 10:42:22 PM |

Cat was more aggressive tonight. I have been impressed with Rowan, he looks like a confident player for a freshman. Hope we get a few blowouts wins soon so we can see Kirk some. 11/15/2015 10:49:37 PM |
BanjoMan All American 9609 Posts user info edit post |
I was not able to watch a stream, but Rowan's numbers over his first two games look great. He definitely does not fill up the scoreboard the way that Wood did, so how do they compare aside from both being goofy white dudes? 11/16/2015 2:12:13 AM |

Rowan has a prettier cock 11/16/2015 2:32:14 AM |
natureboy All American 2803 Posts user info edit post |
So far Rowan is not anywhere near as good of a 3 point shooter, but he is a more complete scorer, I.e. He can actually drive some and hit pull up jumpers. Of course he has only played two games so difficult to gauge his three point shot so far. 11/16/2015 5:42:43 AM |
Maverick1024 All American 4866 Posts user info edit post |
From the little I’ve seen (two games), Rowan has got a great pure shot, both from the mid-range and the 3 point line. He’s also got some sneaky athleticism and is a good ball-handler.
He has some mental lapses on defense, but I think the thing holding him back the most is core strength. He's just getting bullied around when opponents drive on him. It’s understandable given his age/height/weight, but I’m worried it’s only going to get worse in ACC play. Hopefully his scoring makes up for it though. 11/16/2015 11:13:33 AM |

^^ Scott Wood had some abysmal three point numbers at the beginning of his freshman season. You can see Rowan has a good stroke...so I expect his numbers to get better. 11/16/2015 11:37:22 AM |
Sandman All American 1215 Posts user info edit post |
did anyone expect him to set the world on fire defensively?
Read his scouting report where he was STILL considered a top30 prospect. Splitting hairs. this has already been discussed way too much given the other issues that our veteran players are having that deserve more attention 11/16/2015 11:42:28 AM |
ncstatetke All American 41128 Posts user info edit post |
somebody told me Mav has already attempted more 2-pointers through his first two games than Wood did in his freshman + sophomore seasons combined
I haven't researched it yet to confirm 11/16/2015 11:44:54 AM |

Caleb Martin is our sharpshooter.
And no, I don't think we should ignore the defensive shortcomings of the worst defensive player on our team. Especially since he's going to be playing major minutes now. 11/16/2015 12:18:44 PM |
