The Hokies Men's BBall team plays Xavier today at 7PM in the consolation round of the NIT Tip Off. The game will be on ESPNU. Well this is the game we expected to have if we won against Memphis; so I guess we should be happy. We've been asking for a competitive game for a while now and we get two top 25 teams back to back. Maybe the refs will call a closer game tonight. Xavier is 4-1 with only loss to Iowa State in the first round of this tournament; they did beat Ohio State on Nov 18.
The Hokies will again face a taller team; but again our bench could provide some help:
#1 Paul Scruggs 6'5 Sr. G 30.2 MPG:13.2 PPG: 4.6 RPG: 3.8 APG: 3.6 TOPG
Led the BIG EAST and was 20th in the nation in assists at 5.7 apg last year
#3 Colby Jones 6'6 So. G 32 MPG:12.6 PPG: 10 RPG: 2.6 APG: 2.4 TOPG
BIG EAST All-Freshman Team last year
#10 Nate Johnson 6'4 Sr. G 21.2 MPG:12.6 PPG: 6.6 RPG: 0.4 APG: 2 TOPG
Second in the BIG EAST Conference and fourth in the nation in 3-point percentage (.452) last year
#21 Jerome Hunter 6'8 Jr. F 24.3 MPG:11.3 PPG: 2.8 RPG: 2.5 APG: 2.25 TOPG
#22 Dieonte Miles 6'11 So. F 27.8 MPG:9.6 PPG: 4.2 RPG: 1.4 APG: 0.6 TOPG
CMY had a day to do some coaching after the loss in the first round. As someone pointed out in the comments during the Memphis game, Aluma need to go up stronger on the inside and dunk through the defense or force the refs to call the foul. Xavier has the length to cause the Hokies problems underneath; but the bodies are not as massive. Duren is 20 lbs heavier than Xavier's big man Miles.
Average stats for Xavier:
Individual stats:
Hokies are going to have to tighten up the passing, make their 3's and be better under the basket on offense to win this on. That's all I have time for; the contractor is here and the grandkids are awake; and the dog wants to go for a walk.
Go Hokies!
