Season stats are below.

The Hokies should be able to impose their will underneath with Jones, Kitley and Obouh-Fegue. If I were Coach Brooks, I would play some of the game without any of those three on the court, just to see how a small lineup performs. I expect Kitley to get her third double-double before half time. Don't see this game being competitive; everyone on the roster should play.
