I tuned in for :20
Smith gets a warning from the ref
Andoh doesn't pass the ball to a wide open Layer
Layer yells at Andoh
Andoh passes Layer the ball
Layer keeps running into his defender while dribbling
Layer turns the ball over
Layer yells at Andoh
Andoh yells back

Now back to the Ravens game (I'm taping the UVA game)

I disagree. The talent level of most of our players are about equal.

Went to first game tonight... My observations -

*Our talent level sucks
*Our team cannot shoot, I mean at all.
*Layer substitutes more then any coach I have ever seen. No chance to get anymore unit playing together... It was like he was a middle school coach and was trying to get everyone playing time.
*He pulled every player who had a negative play.
*Not sure why we stayed in a zone the whole game and gave CCU so many open wide open looks at 3's.
*Looks to me like we had a height advantage, but not once did we put two bigs on the floor at once and pound it down low?
*The crowd was pitiful and there's no school spirit anymore. There was one guy standing in a box, making a fool of himself - no one joined him, just made fun of him...
*Vines Center looks nice and there's no way we shouldn't be competitive with these facilities.
*Smith is amazingly athletic, but I saw no plays being run to take advantage of that...

Looking at rostet on back of game program. We have np player from Virginia . i believe nearest one is Pennsylvania . then Indiana . then Florida . Why can we not recruit locally or regionally . Lots of good playets from state on rosters of otherD1 teams.

CCU has 7 players from Carolinas. yet we have none from Virginia or even a bordering state .

Got to agree with you that even though LU has a national footprint, you've got to find a player or two from the Commonwealth to put on the roster. Not every D-1 level prospect from Richmond, Norfolk, or Roanoke is a Satanist or Muslim.

We finally turned things around a bit talent-wise with Holtmann by getting a couple of NC players to stay home. Nelson from Charlotte being the biggie.

How'd I get included here 😳

Are we back?
