After claiming bronze in the Wooden Legacy Tournament over Thanksgiving weekend, the Hokies must quickly turn their attention to Michigan. The Wolverines boast an identical 5-1 record and as of this week, just dropped out of the AP Top 25. This is another great opportunity for Virginia Tech to post a win against a quality team, especially after a heartbreaking loss to Texas A&M.
Speaking of the Aggies, they were not a good matchup for Virginia Tech at all. They had phenomenal size and length – four of their top five players were listed at 6-8 and above, which is taller than everyone in the Hokies’ most effective small ball lineup with Zach LeDay at center.
