Tiki's got your full preview here.
This game has all the makings of a trap game. A rivalry game where the Hokies are hungry for their first win. The Hoos might be looking ahead at Game Day next Saturday when Duke comes to town. A road game, which proves difficult in any conference.
Virginia Tech's freshmen have great potential and the ability to shoot the long ball, which is the greatest chink in Virginia's armor. The Hokies, though, will be without freshman guard Justin Bibbs, who leads their team in scoring at 13.6 points per game (20.7 in conference play). It's a big blow for a program that's got the pieces together for actually a pretty decent team next year, and certainly in two years.
