Three days removed from a back-to-back, the Hokies (4-2) return home to face the Northwestern Joey van Zegerens. Okay, you caught me; it’s only one van Zegeren (sorry to disappoint). Regardless, the GOAT himself returns to Blacksburg after transferring to Northwestern during the offseason. The Northwestern Wildcats are 5-1, with their only loss coming against a very dangerous UNC side. On the other hand, the other 5 teams they won against aren’t necessarily good. Northwestern is above-average on both sides of the ball, but not unbeatable.
The Wildcats’ offense is primarily run through by the backcourt of Bryant McIntosh and Tre Demps.
