-- I missed most of the first half, and when I finally got to the bar, the score was 25-8. Can't say I expected to be asking someone at the six minute mark if that was a six or an eight next to Virginia Tech's name.

-- Our offensive efficiencies, last six games:

106.1
109.8
108.4
107.8
106.8
105.0

The ACC average in conference play tends to be around 105, so this is a solid run we're on. Last night would have been the breakthrough game if we'd not turned the ball over so much.

-- There's a simple solution to dealing with teams that don't allow you to grab offensive rebounds: just shoot so well that you don't need any. A good move on our part, I think.

-- Javi!

-- We're #1 again.
