Clash at Cassell Coliseum: Virginia Tech Hokies to Host UNC Asheville Bulldogs
As the Virginia Tech Hokies prepare to welcome the UNC Asheville Bulldogs to Cassell Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an enthralling encounter. The Hokies, coming off a commanding 85-54 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers on December 2nd, have shown they possess both offensive firepower and defensive solidity.
The Hokies' performance against the Cornhuskers was nothing short of dominant. With a field goal percentage of 51 and converting 41 percent from beyond the arc, their shooting prowess was on full display. They also demonstrated an impressive ability to share the ball effectively, racking up 17 assists while maintaining a stellar assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.43.
Defensively, Virginia Tech has been equally impressive. In their last outing against Boston College Eagles on December 7th, they held their opponents to just 58 points while recording five steals and three blocks. This defensive tenacity will be crucial as they face a Bulldogs team that will be looking for any opportunity to upset the home side.
The Bulldogs should not be underestimated despite being considered underdogs in this matchup. Their resilience and determination could pose challenges for VT; however, given recent performances by both teams, it's hard not to favor the home side in this contest.
Virginia Tech's consistency has been key throughout their recent games; even in a tighter game against Tennessee Lady Volunteers on December 4th where they won by just three points (59-56), VT showed grit and composure under pressure.
Looking ahead at this upcoming game scheduled for December 11th at Cassell Coliseum at 6:00 PM local time (EST), it is clear that if VT can maintain their offensive efficiency and continue stifling defense, they should come out victorious against UNCA. Fans eager not to miss any action can catch live coverage via ACC Network Extra online broadcast network.
In conclusion, with strong team cohesion and home-court advantage playing into Virginia Tech's hands coupled with an aggressive defense that has been limiting opposition scoring effectively – all signs point towards another win for VT when they take on UNC Asheville Bulldogs next Sunday evening in Blacksburg.
