MBB HOSTS GA TECH FEB 2 AT 9PM

The Hokies host Ga Tech tonight at 9 PM on the ACC Network. Ga Tech is 9-7 and 2-7 in ACC play.

Their two wins are FSU at home and BC on the road. Their most recent loss was to Miami at home by 11. Our most recent loss was to Miami at home on a miracle shot at the buzzer. Many of their losses were by fairly large margins. Most of our losses have been close. I think we are the better team, if everyone contributes.

The Hokies match up fairly well with GA Tech. They do have a 7'1 center; but he only plays about 8 min/game and has only played in 14 of their 20 games and did not play in their last two games. Their other big man 6'10 Howard returned to the starting line up for the last three games.

Ga Tech is another team that can give the Hokies fits from beyond the arc if allowed to shoot. The team averages 36% from three. Ga Tech is No. 2 in the ACC in forced TO's and Steals. The Hokies cannot be careless with the ball against this team. However, Ga Tech commits almost as many TO's than they cause. They are also prone to foul; 10 players have fouled out of a game this year. Their big man, Howard has fouled out twice in 15 games played. Hokies need to make their free throws tonight.

Average Stats:

Detailed Stats:


This is a winnable game; and we don't need to shoot 72% from three to win. But we do need five players to contribute. If Murphy and Alleyne can be productive, Pedulla and Maddox can still play significant minutes as they continue to develop. If Murphy and Alleyne are not productive, Pedulla and Maddox will need to come in and carry the load.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
