The buzz around Hokie Women’s Basketball over the last three weeks has been a heavy burden to carry. The loss of Liz Kitley to a torn ACL was almost too much for Hokie Nation to take. Kitley has become a shining light and an example of what it is to be a student-athlete in Blacksburg. She was also the heart that drove this basketball team. If Georgia Amoore is its emotion, Kitley is its soul. Replacing her at the post was going to be a difficult assignment.
The problem isn’t easy to solve in a week and a half of practice and pregame prep.
