Malcolm Delaney @foe23 and Zach "All Day" Leday @zachleday32 are combining to score 25.5 points a game playing for AX Armani Exchange Milano in Euroleague. Still only have managed to find highlights of them together but want to watch a full game. Two of my favorite Hokies ever.

The Lady Hokies play Thursday at 6 PM at UNC. The game is on the ACCN. UNC is 7-3, 2-3 in ACC play.
They lost to Miami twice, split with Wake Forest and beat Syracuse. To paraphrase John Madden, or Yogi Berra, they lose when they don't score. In their wins, they scored over 90 points 5 times, 81 once and 77 in OT at WF. In their three losses, they scored 54, 63 and 59 points.
The starting line up seems to change each game. Seven player have averaged 20+ min/game 4 freshman, a senior and 2 grad students. Five other players have played around 10 min/game and average 2-3 ppg.

Well that was a fun end to this four game stretch. The Hokies made it through this tough portion of their schedule going 3 and 1 against Miami, UVA, Louisville, Notre Dame, and Duke
Scoring
Aluma led all Hokies during this set of games with 69 (nice) points, barely edging out Cone's 67. Rounding out the Hokies' top scorers are Mutts (48), Radford (40), Cattoor (30), and Alleyne (29). Of note, the Hokies are ridiculously consistent in scoring. In the first set of four they scored 301 as a team, 302 during the second set of four, and 300 during this set.

The Lady Hokies play Ga Tech in Atlanta today at 2 PM. The game is on the ACC Network. Busy week this week with the wife's birthday and getting ready to go south for six weeks; so I don't have much about this game. Did not have time to find pictures. So, here are the usual tables of data.
Ga Tech record. Interestingly, they have played at Notre Dame twice already this season, winning the first game by 15 and losing the second by 2. The Hokies lost at Notre Dame by 6, in a game I thought they could have won.

The Lady Hokies play No. 2 Louisville today at 8PM in Cassell. The game will be shown on Regional Sports Networks. Since I thought we were playing NC State until last night, I don't have much to say about this game. NC State had a positive Covid test.
Louisville is 8 and 0 with several impressive score differentials. But "they ain't played nobody." Except DePaul(20/22) in early Dec and Louisville won by 40 points.

Not my write up yet, but wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the game time change due to the ACC shifting opponents and times due to a positive test in the Pittsburgh program.
Game is now at 2 pm on ACCN.
Game write up will follow tonight.
