Virginia Tech Hokies Set to Face High Point Panthers at Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena
As the Virginia Tech Hokies prepare to take on the High Point Panthers at the Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an enthralling encounter. The Hokies, coming off a mixed bag of recent performances, will be looking to assert their dominance in this upcoming game.
In their last outing on December 18 against the formidable Fighting Irish, ranked 5th nationally, Virginia Tech struggled with shooting accuracy. Scoring only 52 points compared to Notre Dame's 63, they shot a mere 29 percent from the field and an even more disappointing 23 percent from beyond the arc. Despite these challenges, there were glimmers of hope as they managed to out-rebound Notre Dame by two boards.
However, it was a different story when VT faced UNC Asheville's Bulldogs earlier on December 11. The Hokies showcased what they're capable of when firing on all cylinders – an emphatic victory with a scoreline of 86-48 that saw them shoot an impressive 50 percent from the field and nearly match that performance from three-point range with a solid 39 percent shooting.
The key takeaway for Virginia Tech is consistency. When they find their rhythm early in games as evidenced by their dominant win over UNC Asheville where they led throughout without allowing any lead changes or ties after tip-off – they can be unstoppable.
The upcoming game against High Point presents another opportunity for VT to capitalize on its strengths – particularly in rebounding where they've shown prowess and shooting efficiency which has been hit or miss but has potential for greatness.
High Point Panthers will not make it easy though; every game brings its own set of challenges and surprises. However, if Virginia Tech can harness the same energy and execution displayed during their best quarters against both Notre Dame and UNC Asheville while shoring up defensive plays that limit turnovers and fast break points allowed – there is every reason for optimism among fans.
Looking ahead at this matchup scheduled for December 22 at midnight EST at Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena in High Point NC - supporters should mark their calendars. This game could very well serve as a turning point in VT's season trajectory if lessons learned from past performances are applied effectively on court. Fans won't want to miss this clash which will be broadcasted live via ESPN+ online network; it’s time for Virginia Tech Hokies women’s basketball team to shine once again!
