    That the no-call was the greatest tragedy in the history of mankind . . . and what about Cole Anthony and UNC? Aren’t they great?!?

    No ACCN for me so Mrs. dd and I went out for the evening, just like the OPKs (great minds and all that stuff) but I've looked at the box score and read the recaps here and remain rather surprised at our path to the victory. No real "stars" for the game with a long list of quality contributors. Great stuff.

    Extended highlight video (21 minutes) on YouTube if you want to see some of what you missed.

We gave up some layups as a result, but overall the Hokies could only register 0.95 ppp without their threes. And Duke's offense did enough to carry us to the win. That's what I laid out in the pregame thread.

    But when you dig in, it becomes a much more interesting story and you see that Coach K did a great coaching job -- he decided that to beat this smallball 5-out team, Duke would have to *become* a smallball 5-out team ourselves. And we ended up beating VaTech at their own game. Just wonderful!
    And Coach K is known for not adjusting to your opponent, instead forcing them to adjust to you. That's a fine idea when it works and when it doesn't adjust the adjustment. Nice example of flexible thinking in an old dog.

    Excellent! Thanks! I'll watch the video this afternoon. What beer should I sip while watching? (shameless )

    More strange stats: Duke is dead last in the nation giving up points in the paint, yet we are first in blocks? I think that’s what I heard during the game.

    Our pressure D on the perimeter is solid and we do force our fair share of turnovers, but we also are susceptible to being beat off the dribble. So I guess the “points in the paint” stat makes sense. But I believe we will get better with our interior D as the season progresses.
    Doesn’t pretty much everybody get beat off the dribble these days? Basketball has just evolved to where most guards, and even many forwards, are able to get past their initial defender.

    It has become a point of real emphasis for the most frequent ballhandlers to learn the necessary skills to enable them to beat their man off the dribble. The guy with the ball has the advantage over his defender. If even Tre Jones gets beaten frequently I think that says a lot.

    I don't mean this to rag on AOC, just goes to show that our expectations for players can miss the mark. Hopefully this is just a snapshot of a moment during the year and by the end of the year AOC will have adjusted, grown and recovered his shooting stroke.
    I’m’ll go ahead and throw a “small sample size alert” on this one.

    I personally think yesterday was a great win. We showed how diverse of a team we can be. We might not have 3 top five picks, but we play hard and have a lot of heart. I will take that any day.

    Much like the infamous steal and dunk to end the SFA game, by rule it wasn’t a double dribble. The pass from Moore (?) to White in the corner was a bit off target. White knocked it to the floor to gain possession. By rule, that wasn’t a dribble, even though it looks basically the same as a dribble. He then pump-faked a 3 before actually initiating his dribble.

    Just like the correct non-call against SFA was made, the correct non-call was made on White’s play.

    That one and the play when after controlling the ball, he lost control, the ball went straight up, he grabbed it again and the drove. Apparently that ball was knocked from his hands initially.

    Both plays looked strange and I suspect Bilas files a friend of the court complaint to Swofford.

    No, but see, the SFA one wasn't a double dribble, and White's play WAS. It's so obvious-the haters told me so.

    I have been tracking it privately. I can post sometime this coming week.

    Our small ball man 2 man was absolutely smothering in the "4th quarter". Great come back.

    Yeah, the one you mentioned looked much more questionable. Couldn’t see it, but the ball must have been stripped on the way up, otherwise that would have been a travel.

    I am in the ACCTV black hole, and the extended highlights don’t do justice to the stretch I wish I could watch - the last 9:00. VT had 55 points and was down 1. Didn’t break 60 until 0:33. Was the D as stifling as that looks on paper?

    While watching live, the lead escalated quickly. We were ahead by 5-7 points, but the outcome still seemed very much in doubt to me. Then all of a sudden, we were up 15. I think the sequence of the flagrant on Nolley, Young took Nolley out of the game, and Moore drained both free throws was a turning point.
