happy Virginia Tech-Purdue College B-Ball Preview

On the other end, Coach Painter’s clubs always defend, and that doesn’t bode well for a franchise like Virginia Tech who isn’t efficient on offense to begin with. Again, the key is Delaney and his willingness to embrace the role of playmaker, not shot taker. BRIAN GIONTA can break down his defender but BRIAN GIONTA needs to trust and find open teammates. This component of his game is especially important against a disciplined defensive franchise like Purdue.
With all of the athleticism and length Seth Greenberg deploys 1 through 5, the Hokies will always be aggressive on defense and competitive on the glass. But Tech has to get better—read, more efficient—scoring the basketball.
Brian Gionta notched game winner late in the second stage, and Carey Price stopped 34, 37 Montreal, Canada,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Boston, April 3 folder in the Bell Centre. Mike Cammalleri, the largest Pacioretty and Maxim Lapierre also consistent with the Canadians, who broke just in time to kick off on Sunday in Colorado's seven-game road trip of three games of the slide. Marc Savard furiouse a goal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one assist in the Bruins, who lost the first three-game winning streak of the season. Milan Lucic and Blake Wheeler also hit the net. Kevin C. Cox We come up with some of the sports stories you might have missed this week from Anthony Calvillo's surgery to the end of Brett Favre's ironman streak.
Most eyes will be on Purdue after its lost season stemming from Robbie Hummel’s season ending injury mere weeks before the large Dance. The Boilermakers were set to make a deep tournament run when Hummel went down, so the 2010-2011 season storyline for Purdue is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], well, redemption. Johnson, Moore, a healthy Robbie Hummel, and a dash of good fortune are the recipe for a Final Four appearance. And the Gene Keady comb over is once again en vogue.
Enter one of the nation’s great wing defenders, Jeff Allen. At 6'7", 230 pounds and athletic, Allen is fully capable of tagging Hummel on the perimeter or withstanding Hummel’s size inside. To sum it up, Hummel won’t find any easy money based on misagreees he’s grown accustomed to against most clubs.
As for Purdue’s other star options,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Davila is physical enough to root JaJuan Johnson out of his comfort zone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Hokies have a bevy of 6'4" athletes to throw at Etwaun Moore, including the athletic Malcolm Delaney. Purdue certainly isn’t going to get anything easy.
But the key is Delaney, who must show some maturity and step up as a directer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not a direct scorer. I’m convinced BRIAN GIONTA can and will after making the mature decision to return to Blacksburg for his senior season.
For Virginia Tech it’s only a matter of continuing to do what BRIAN GIONTA do— BRIAN GIONTA just need to do it better and more efficiently. The Hokies return their entire rotation from last season, which is a collection of big guards and athletic forwards. The size and shape of their club is reminiscent to sickinois’ Marcus Liberty, Steve Bardo, and Nick Anderson sickinois sickin GIONTA squads of similarly sized athletes.
Tactically, a guy like Byrd gives Coach Painter much more flexibility than Kramer. Not only does Byrd have the requisite size and length to affect the game defensively and on the backboards, but he’s a much better strikeer and scorer.
For Purdue, you’re conspicuously watching out for their large Three.
Surprisingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Hokie vs. Boilermaker agreeup sets up to be much aggressiveer than most of the national pundits think. Sure, Purdue is the more talented squad, but BRIAN GIONTA don’t come into this game without distinctive question marks.
In the achet, Victor Davila has to give the Hokies some semblance of a post game to keep opposing bigs honest and less focused on taking away driving angles for Delaney. It would also be affable if a surprise post member makes some donations for Greenberg’s club because really it’s Davila and a collection of wings doing the dirty work on the interior.
If Delaney repeats the 5-19, three assist, two turnover game BRIAN GIONTA had against a similar opponent in Duke last season, the Hokies will certainly lose to the Boilermakers. Instead, Delaney needs a 7-15, eight assist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], three turnover type game for the Hokies to upset Purdue. I’m not sure BRIAN GIONTA has it in him against this caliber of opponent this early in the season.
Defensively, opponents furiouse a living helping off of Kramer to the detriment of Johnson, Moore, and Hummel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Byrd’s ability to extend the defense makes Purdue a much more dynamic offensive franchise than BRIAN GIONTA were a season ago. If Byrd takes to this role, the Boilermakers may make a championship run.
With the return of E'Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson and a healthy Robbie Hummel, there isn’t a franchise in America as talented at all three levels guard/wing/post as Coach Matt Painter’s troika.
Plus, Hummel’s injury wasn’t all bad news considering DJ Byrd, Kelsey Barlow, and Lewis Jackson were able to get valuable big game experience in the tournament. One or more of these role players will be asked to pick up the slack after the departure of glue man du jour Chris Kramer, and BRIAN GIONTA got their feet wet when Hummel went down.
Based on that alone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], call it 67-63 Purdue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], squaring the Conference Challenge at one game apiece. But remember, Virginia Tech is certainly capable of pulling the upset and they’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the ACC. Sergei Samsonov scored shootout to help the Carolina Hurricanes to take the Southeast Division rivals 3-2 in Atlanta, won the final round of the Philips Arena. Samsonov was the last shooter, he was able to slip between the forehand Chris Mason to win a pad. Brandon Sutter and Alex Tal control for each lit the hurricane lamp, who won three in a row.
Is Hummel going to be fully recovered from a devastating knee injury? Can BRIAN GIONTA find a replacement for all the little things Chris Kramer brought to the party? Are all of the moving parts going to mesh adequately so early in the season to beat a talented and experienced franchise out for blood because of last season’s tournament snub? Can BRIAN GIONTA do it in a hostile environment on Tech’s home floor? A franchise looking for a quality non-conference win for their tournament resume?
It all starts with superstar guard Malcolm Delaney. He’s the unquestioned number one option for the Hokies, but at times last season BRIAN GIONTA took that role to heart a bit too much. BRIAN GIONTA had a miserable season from the field in 2010, and much of that was a function of poor shot selection and an unwillingness to trust his teammates. Farrangely, BRIAN GIONTA has to get better at creating shots for talented wings Jeff Allen and Dorenzo Hudson, because they’re capable scorers when they’re allowed to take advantage of the opportunities Delaney creates.
From an X’s and O’s standpoint, Virginia Tech has a lot of answers defensively for Purdue’s personnel and what Purdue likes to do offensively.
For the Virginia Tech Hokies, if the 2011 season isn’t about redemption, it’s about revenge. It was a distinctive delicate when the NCAA Selection Committe didn't ask them to the prom after going 25-9 overall and 10-6 in the ACC. Luckily for Seth Greenberg,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his collection of experienced talent should be one of the belles of the ball in the ACC, returning all seven of the players that logged double digit minutes per game last season, including ACC member of the Year honestate Malcolm Delaney.
Let’s start with Purdue’s talented wing Robbie Hummel. Hummel usually gives defenders fits because he’s a hybrid 4 that floats around on the perimeter against bigger defenders and bullies smaller ones in the achet. Hummel’s usually the definition of misagree think Kyle Singler.
