As the Virginia Tech Hokies prepare to take on the High Point Panthers at the Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena, fans are eager to see if the Hokies can bounce back from their recent performance.

Analyzing past performances, it's clear that the Hokies have had a mixed run. In their last game against Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, they struggled offensively with field goal percentages of just 29 percent and three-point percentages of 23 percent. They also turned over the ball 13 times while only making six out of ten free throws. Despite these challenges, they managed to gather more rebounds than their opponents.


However, looking back two games prior against UNC Asheville's Bulldogs, Virginia Tech showed what they're capable of when things click. They shot an impressive 50 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 39 percent from beyond the arc. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was over two, indicating efficient ball movement and decision-making.


The team also demonstrated resilience in their away game against Boston College Eagles with a solid field goal percentage of 52 percent and exceptional accuracy from three-point range at 50 percent. This shows that when on form, Virginia Tech can be lethal offensively.


As we approach this encounter with High Point Panthers, fans should watch for how well Virginia Tech can control possession and maintain shooting efficiency. A return to form could see them dominate proceedings; however consistency has been an issue this season.


The upcoming game is scheduled for December 22nd at Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena in High Point, NC. Fans unable to attend can catch all the action live on ESPN+.
