NCAA Tournament Bracket Watch: Alabama is the top seed. Northwestern and Clemson
“They can’t imagine it… that someone like me would walk into their house, walk on their land…” – Cassian Andor When compiling this week’s segment, we were astounded by the inclusion of teams we’d never expected to have considered as recently as a few weeks ago. North-west? Pittsburgh? Clemson? UCF? wait … Is that true? It also got us thinking about another story focusing on underdogs who took the power structure by surprise: “Andor,” our favorite TV series of 2022. After the train wreck that was “The Book of Boba…

Merry Christmas after Christmas! I trust that the holiday treated everyone well, though there were a few precious college basketball games that caught our eye.

In the meantime, allow me to spread my usual holiday cheer by presenting the correct ranking of the top 25 college basketball teams, as presented to the…
Read MoreVirginia Tech and Brent Pry need to give fans a reason to believe: 5 thoughts after Duke
DURHAM, NC – Another week, another Virginia Tech loss. The opponent changes, but the outcome – and the path to that outcome – the Hokies, who struggled offensively (nothing new), didn’t seem to be able to hold on to the defense (watched this movie before) and didn’t make enough plays that turned the tide to start the surprise (Story season) in a 24-7 setback at Duke. Those are seven straight losses for Virginia Tech, something that hasn’t happened in Blacksburg in 71 years. That number 7 came against a Duke…

BLACKSBURG, Virginia – With no bowl game in mind and only three matches left on the schedule, Brent Pry has to do a delicate dance at Virginia Tech, a dance that respects the present but keeps an eye on the future. “I think you want to be fair and you want these seniors to have their chances to finish on a positive note, and they deserve it,” Bray said. “But at the same time, we’re trying to maximize these three games with some players that we think can help us.”…

Blackberg, Virginia – Perigee. You hear it often when a team loses, especially when it’s an epic meltdown. But it is often misused. The phrase assumes one thing: it can’t get any worse. In that sense, Virginia Tech didn’t hit rock bottom with a complete and obvious meltdown Saturday in the fourth quarter with a 28-27 loss to Georgia Tech at Lane Stadium. It would be easy to assume just as much given the string of fouls that led Virginia Tech (2-7, 1-5 ACC) to lose for the sixth straight…

Read MoreWhat did we learn after Miami’s 3-3 start? Mario Cristobal needs more companions
BLACKBERG, VA – The Miami Hurricanes are at 0.500 mid-season, which was unexpected after Mario Cristobal took over for Manny Diaz last December. Not with Tyler Van Dyke, ACC Player of the Year, returning to the quarterback, along with one of the conference’s most expensive employees. But as the season progressed, it became clear that Cristobal needed more of his hand-picked players on the roster, and there simply isn’t much depth. Saturday’s 20-14 win over Virginia Tech at Lynn Stadium was riddled with warts. Miami was marked 17 times for…
