The Hokies, after notching their first conference win of the season on Saturday against a reeling Pittsburgh side, travel to Winston-Salem to take on the Demon Deacons. Both sides have identical 1-2 conference records, which makes the result of this game very meaningful. With a win, the Hokies would be back to .500 in conference play – not a great start, but one they can build off of. However, a loss would move them down the standings to 1-3; not the place a team with tournament aspirations wants to be with many difficult games left on the schedule.
Typically, games between these two teams have been high-scoring.
