hopefully sidney can stay healthy for the playoffs and give them a long run. i wouldnt mind seeing them win the cup. and congrats on being a freshman hokie next year. i know several folks that have/are going there and they all have good things to say about it. so you picked a good school to go to. good luck.
i am hoping the basketball team can avoid a sophomore slump. i dont know how they will finish. i would predict in the upper half of the league. i think they have to play north carolina & duke each twice next year, though i dont know where to find next year's schedule. so they will have a tougher schedule but if they finish 9-7 with that schedule, then they will make the ncaa tournament. also, since there arent going to be as many freshmen to bring in next year, we shouldnt lose the games to odu, richmond, etc. that we did this year. hopefully we can go to some good tournaments again so we can play the likes of butler and gonzaga in december.
as for player development, i think delaney will improve as he started to catch fire toward the end of the season and provide us with another outside threat. witcher showed some signs of improving. hopefully he can become a solid player next year. i would like to see allen not disappear in games like ole miss. i know i am forgetting other players but with a bunch of freshmen this year the potential is there for some good basketball next year. maybe in a few years we can pack 9500+ in cassel per game. those crowds for the nit really made it a home court advantage. i look forward to it next year.
