IT'S GAMEDAY!#Hokies take on BC at 9 PM on @ESPNU #BeatBC pic.twitter.com/QehXTlwtnP— VT Men's Basketball (@VT_MBBall) February 23, 2016
Talk about a night when there must not be anything else available to ESPN. We have had games against ranked opponents go to ESPN3 or Regional TV, but our game against the cellar owning Eagles makes it to ESPNU.

Tech has to make the most of the opportunity before them, which is notch two wins against the two worst teams in the conference in BC and Wake. It starts tonight with the Eagles, who have yet to win a conference game this year. That said, Tech does not fare well historically in its trips to BC, winning only once in the twelve times we have played there and having lost their last four overall to the Eagles as well. This is a streak that needs stopping, and these should be the kids to do just that. If Tech can win tonight and then beat Wake Forest on Sunday than they would only need one win in their remaining two games to lock up a .500 season in regular season conference play.
Tech comes in off a win over Florida State that saw five Hokies score in double figures. BC comes in having lost to Wake Forest 74-48, and that was with Wake without its top scorer due to a suspension.
Boston College comes in with only two players averaging double figures this season, Eli Carter,(#3) Senior Guard 6'2, 200 Lbs who brings 15.8 PPG,4.1 RPG and 4 APG. He also manages 1.2 SPG.
Jerome Robinson, (#1) Freshmen Guard, 6'7, 181 Lbs. who is putting up 11.6 PPG, 4 RPG, 2.8 APG, and 1.4 SPG.
After these two its a smorgusboard of role players.
The two most likely to hurt the Hokies would be Matt Milon (#22) Freshmen Guard 6'4, 200 Lbs who shoots better than 50% from outside and
Sammy Barnes-Thompkins(#55) Freshmen Guard 6'3, 192 Lbs. who shoots better than 41% from outside. Its been a consistent theme this year for the Hokies that a relative nobody just cant miss from outside.
Boston College is much farther behind us in terms of recovering from their coaching change. This year they have 10 Freshmen that have played and at least half of those have played meaningful minutes. They will lose three seniors this year so more new blood will follow next season.
Right now BC averages losing by almost 10 points per game. That takes into account their 20+ point losses to Michigan State, Notre Dame x2, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, UNC, Louisville, and Wake Forest. This is just not a very good team right now. Tech should run and run and run tonight, putting the Eagles out of the gym by at least 25, I think the final is Tech 74, BC 49.
