Can Virginia Tech Hokies Continue Their Winning Streak at Wake Forest?
As the Virginia Tech Hokies prepare to face off against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain the momentum from their recent string of victories. The Hokies have been showcasing a strong performance on their home court, and now they must prove themselves in an away setting.
In their last three games, the Hokies have demonstrated a robust offense and defense. They've consistently outscored their opponents, with points in paint being a significant contributor to their scoring. In particular, against American Eagles, they managed an impressive 82 percent two-point shooting percentage and dominated with 48 points in paint. Their field goal percentage stood at 64 percent overall for that game.
The team's defensive prowess has also been notable; they've averaged over four blocks per game while keeping turnovers low—never exceeding seven per game in this stretch. Moreover, the assist-to-turnover ratio has been commendable; for instance, it was as high as 3.29 against American Eagles.
However, playing away could introduce new challenges for the Hokies. The atmosphere at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum is known to be intense and could influence performance levels differently than what they're accustomed to at Cassell Coliseum.
Fans should look out for how well Virginia Tech adapts its high-scoring offense and tight defense in this different environment while trying to suppress Wake Forest's home advantage.
The upcoming clash is scheduled for December 30th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time and will be broadcasted on ESPN2 (channel 209). Supporters can expect an exciting encounter as both teams vie for supremacy on Wake Forest's turf.
