The #21 Hokies (12-1/1-0) travel to Raleigh on Wednesday night to take on the NC State Wolfpack (11-3/0-1). Virginia Tech won this matchup last year in their ACC opener in overtime, as the Hokies had to overcome a double digit deficit in the second half to get the win. The two teams had near opposite results last time they took the floor. NC State comes into this game after an 81-63 loss in Miami, while the Hokies 89-75 win over Duke has finally put them on the national radar.
NC State is similar to Virginia Tech in that they rely on the play of their guards and wings to get the job done on offense.
