Did not see the game, but begs the question - was the entire Va Tech team a victim of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers??

Some unbelievable stats from VA Tech in this game.
Fg = 18.8%
3pt = 6.9% 2 of 29 !!
2 VA Tech players went a combined
0 of 21 including 0 of 17 from 3 pt range. Is that even possible ?

I checked older box scores. Same starting line-up, so not due to injuries. You would have to try to play this badly! So hard to imagine - almost like a job-action or a work slow-down.

VA Tech was 15 - 0 to start the season, and now have lost 4 out of 5.

UVA outscored Tech 23-5 in the second quarter and 21-2 in the third. I haven't been to a wbb game in Charlottesville in 25 years, but the place could be raucous back in the day. I thought this might be an upset, but not to the degree it was.

Did someone throw the game? 2-29 from 3-point range. And 1-7 from free throw line? How does a ranked team screw up that badly? What happened? All have a stomach flu?

Something's wrong with this picture....

Massey really impresses me. No, he didn't predict a margin like this, but he did predict a Virginia win.

And you didn't mention 14% from the free throw line (1 for 7).

So basically it was like that infamous 12-point first half UConn had vs. Stanford, but for the whole game.

Is getting whipped by Virginia 70-23 in the 4th quarter!

My, how the mighty have fallen. It was only a few weeks ago they were still among the teams that were undefeated.
Looks like they're riding that grease pole due south. :eek:

Virginia Tech has beaten one ranked team all year, Tennessee around Thanksgiving. They've lost to their other four ranked opponents and been crushed by three of them. A team that benefited from weak competition.

I was at the game...Go Hoos! VT obviously played a cupcake preconference schedule (other than the big win against "ranked Lady Vols"). UVA played Louisville to OT. But in this game, VT just sucked and UVA played the best I've seen them play. Very tough defense, combined with awful shooting (and at some point Tech giving up) produced this crazy score. When VT was 15-0 I wondered how their new coach, with no major new players, could get so good so fast. Or not!

Well, it IS appropriate that they should get a big win around Turkey Day.

who is Massey? I know he/she make predictions but is there a bio... or is Massey a team of geniuses?

@VA Huskie would be interested in your thoughts on Fee. (Felicia Aiyeotan) I see Fee is averaging about 12 minutes per game which is ahead of where I projected for her. Is she having a real impact for UVA shot blocking and rebounding.
