Virgina Tech–Let’s Catch Our Breath
Posted on 3 Nov 2011 by Frank Sullivan.
The Hokies are off until next Thursday night’s huge game at Georgia Tech. Just like the team, I like to use the time off to reflect, recover, and look ahead. In all honesty Virginia Tech’s season has gone about as well as I thought it would; maybe a little better in fact. Granted, they don’t have that signature win and the only quality opponent they’ve faced beat them by 20 in Bla...

VA Tech vs. Wake Forest–In the Groove
Posted on 17 Oct 2011 by Frank Sullivan.
#19 Virginia Tech traveled to Winston-Salem, North Carolina Saturday night to face the 4-1 Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. After the Hokies fell down ten to nothing mid way through the first quarter things were starting to look bleak. The offense wasn't in rhythm, quarterback Logan Thomas was late and inaccurate with his passes, and the banged up defense got beat on a 79-yard bomb. The offe...

Kyrie Irving stars in the 2011 NBA Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Warren Shaw.
The 2011 NBA Draft was not the hit the league had hoped but there was plenty of movement and trades that are sure to have fans shrugging their shoulders. The night belonged to Kyrie Irving who the Cleveland Cavaliers admitted was their number 1 choice all along. All the smoke and mirrors the Cavaliers put out came to an anticlimactic end as David Stern announced Irving's name without hesitati...

Hokies Exit Postseason with another NIT dismissial
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Logan Cecchine.
It seems only fitting that in the midst of the strangest NCAA tournament to date that the Virginia Tech Hokies are the team looking from the outside in. Tech, while undeserving of an oppertunity to play in the big dance, has to wonder how far they could have gone. Tech, with FSU playing later, and Duke losing last night, has beaten at least a sweet 16 team twice, and a sweet 16 loser once.Â...

20 Yrs Later, Duke-UNLV Still Tops
Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Steven Keys.
March Madness is crazy for upsets. More than any other sport, the NCAA Basketball Championships seem predicated on the probability that powerhouse schools will get unplugged by some small-college upstart on their way to being fitted for Cinderella’s glass slipper. Bookies and business-types lose sleep just thinking about it, but fans can’t get enough. Shockers aren’t the only defining tra...

The Reasons Why Pitt Can’t Get It Done
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
What is wrong with the Pittsburgh program? Is it Jamie Dixon and his inability to motivate in an elimination tournament? Is it the fact that he isn’t the greatest in-game coach? What about the talent of the players? All of these have a bit of truth in them. Pitt was the prohibited favorite to make it out of the Southeastern bracket. People (including me) thought that this was the year they w...

The “Faux Five”
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Chris Girandola.
By now, you've either seen the “Fab Five” documentary on ESPN or you've heard the comments made by Jalen Rose about Duke's players being “Uncle Toms.” It has ignited one conversation to the next including follow-up comments by Rose on ESPN's morning sports variety show, First Take. I was going to write a column discussing it, but Washington Post columnist Jason Reid ...

Pitt: 2 Criticisms That Remain The Same
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
After their loss to Connecticut today, we are starting to hear the usual talk about Pitt choking in the NCAA tournament and their inability to get to the Final Four. While the loss today was a downer, as it is their third consecutive year losing their first game in the Big East tournament, it isn’t reason to think Pitt is going to fail in the NCAA tournament.  With, in my opinion, the dee...

Hokies Look to Feed off Energetic Crowd for ESPN Gameday
Posted on 26 Feb 2011 by Logan Cecchine.
The Duke Blue Devils, recently gained their #1 ranking back, look to avoid the trending #1 defeats on the road this season. They will have their hands full, and might want to invest in some earplugs. As Digger Phelps inspired the multiple thousands of students that turned out for College Gameday, before the show even went on air, the students were proving why they were chosen for the prime ...

Duke going worldwide
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Chris Girandola.

Nolan Smith revealed
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Chris Girandola.
I don't know how I missed this piece http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201102/nolan-smith-bringing-showtime-duke on Nolan Smith and the Duke program, but it is a really good insight into how the Duke program has changed over the past few years (for the better), how Coach K continues to adapt to the times, and most specifically, the journey of Nolan Smith as a player and person at Duke.
