The Hokies take on archrivals #5 UVA tonight. Virginia is once again one of the top teams in the country, so this one is going to take more luck than effort for the Hokies to win. But the Hokies were able to make this game a nail-biter in Blacksburg last year, as Virginia needed a late run sparked by Justin Anderson to squeak out the victory.
Virginia’s offensive hallmark is efficiency. Their 50% FG percentage is 10th in the nation. The Cavaliers also have one of the most patient offenses in the country, often slowing the pace down and using up the entire shot clock before taking (what is usually an efficient) a shot.
