Greenberg talks about Duke loss
Seth Greenberg is probably tired of hearing about how his Virginia Tech basketball team was thisclose to upsetting Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in December.
OK, so I know for a fact that he's tired of hearing about how Sean Dockery's halfcourt prayer had to have ruined the Hokies' 2005-2006 season - given that Tech failed to qualify for even the NIT after a preseason filled with talk about the NCAAs.
"I don't think it affected our team," a bristling Greenberg told the "ACC Nation" radio show last week.
"Obviously, we were disappointed, but I also felt that we realized how close we were - and that we could go to Duke and play them right to the bitter end. It just showed our guys that if we compete and play at a high level, play hard, then good things can happen," Greenberg said.
One thing that Greenberg said he points out to people who bring up the Duke game - "we came back and won games after that game."
"It would have been great to have beaten the number-one team in the country on their home court, but it didn't happen," Greenberg said.
