Duke is missing their best player, but yes.

Always best if you have your best tripper on the court.

This is what Buzz did at and for Virginia Tech.  A top-25 team and sold out crowds at a school that had zero history or prestige of a basketball program.  Hate him all you want, but the dude can coach and does wonders for school basketball programs.

Just so you know, Buzz still hasn't had a season with an average attendance that matched that of Greenberg. 

Seth Greenberg was their Kevin Oneil; they are hoping Buzz can be their Tom Crean.

Not sure what's LOL:  Here are the numbers:

Season             Average Attendance       Coach
2009-10                   9804                     Greenberg
2010-11                   9699                     Greenberg
2011-12                   8372                     Greenberg
2012-13                   7011                     Johnson
2013-14                   4812                     Johnson
2014-15                   5494                     Buzz
2015-16                   6570                     Buzz
2016-17                   7137                     Buzz

If Buzz has a sell out for every single game remaining this season he still will fall short of Greenberg's last year.

An interesting comparison. K.O./Greenberg resurrected a dying program. Deane/Johnson started to undo the progress that their predecessors made. Crean/Buzz took/looks like they will take their programs to new levels.

This is spot on. More buzz in Blacksburg over the bowl win than the basketball team. Buzz can get there but the tampering gets harder to be successful the more people are aware you're doing it.

Glad to see the thread police are doing their job. Biggest reason I almost never post anymore. Heaven forbid someone makes a tipo or repeats a post.

We hardly make 2 threads about a single MU game, yet we're going to throw 2 threads about the same Virginia Tech game into the Hanging at the Al board?  Okay.

Who cares if there are nine threads over Buzz? Have Wojo win some big games and he will have the threads as well.

That's not the point. He isn't advocating for more Wojo threads.

I don't know if you watched the broadcast but they stated VT had 2 sellouts this season, Duke and VA, otherwise they are not getting crowds like that. If we hosted both Duke and WI I'd bet those 2 would also be sellouts.
