Men's BBall: VT 8-11(1-6) at Boston College 5-14(1-5) 7 PM ESPN3

This may be the last time the Hokies go into a game this season with a reasonable expectation to win as things stand now. If they manage to pull out the win up at BC, they will swap places in the conference standings, dropping the Eagles into the cellar. If they are going to win this game, its going to be the seniors that need to step up and have solid performances. Eddie and Raines have not done enough to lead this team when it matters most but if they can bring even their B game we have a solid chance of winning this game. Raines did not play in the first meeting between these teams and a post presence was definitely missing for much of that game.

On the other side, BC is led by Olivier Hanlan, who is averaging 18.9 ppg, 4 rebounds and 3 assists from the hybrid guard position. Ryan Anderson, their power forward chips in 14.5 ppg, with 7 rebounds to give BC a one-two punch.

This is the Hokies second shot at BC this season, as Tech lost to them 62-59 on January 11th, which is BC's only win in their last eight games. That game had numerous lead changes, as both teams couldn't seem to find separation, the largest lead of the game for each team was five points. The game came down to who hit their shot in the final minute, and in this case BC hit a three with 27 seconds remaining that would stand as the winner. Hopefully tonight will be different and Tech can be the one to steal a road victory.

This can be good for pre game and in game commentary.
