Rutgers has a decent enough women’s basketball presence, though the 2023/24 season is presenting a bit of a challenge to them in the early going. It certainly looked like a probable win for the Hokies, but the game was on the road, and the Hokies have been knocked down a few pegs in the rankings, (#16) as of the last poll, with some struggles on the road. Now the LSU loss was suspect to many observers, but the win against LIU certainly didn’t merit losing ranking. A win in Piscataway was certainly an important quality point that would give the Hokies a bit of a boost.
