Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4852415, member: 7492"] I watched this game from tip off and the whole reason Virgina Tech jumped out to an early lead was the fact Duke was so inept on the offensive side of the ball. They scored 7 points in the 1st quarter-heck, they only had 1 point with 2:38 left in the quarter before turning in on with a 6 point burst. Duke found their mojo in the second and then kept it going in the 3rd. I think VPI is missing Kayana Traynor and Taylor Soule a lot more than they would ever want to admit. The Kitley/Amoore combo is more "sizzle" than actual meat and while Kitley is playing fine, despite the weekly announcers touting Ms. Amoore, she shooting very poorly at 40.9% and at 30.9% from the 3 point arc. Let me repeat that so it sinks in she's 42-136 from 3 point land (30.9%). That is simply creating empty offensive possessions. As a team they shoot it pretty well a 36.9%. This offense needs help and VPI will not fare nearly as well this year as they did last year in either the ACC Tournament or the NCAAT. Duke on the other hand, is showing signs of l;ife, albeit at home so let's see if they can maintain this effort. Thanks for motivating them [USER=378]@triaddukefan[/USER] [/QUOTE]
