Virginia Tech Hokies Set to Face Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Jersey Mike's Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Virginia Tech Hokies prepare to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Jersey Mike's Arena, fans are anticipating an exciting women's basketball game. The Hokies have been showing a strong performance trend, coming off a dominant victory against Radford with a score of 85-40 and an even more impressive win over LIU, where they put up 98 points against their opponent’s 50. These recent games highlight Virginia Tech’s offensive prowess and solid defense.

The team has demonstrated exceptional shooting accuracy with field goal percentages hovering around the mid-fifties in their last two games. Their three-point shooting was particularly notable against LIU, hitting nearly half of their attempts from beyond the arc. Additionally, Virginia Tech has shown they can distribute the ball effectively with an assist-to-turnover ratio exceeding 2 in their game against LIU.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Hokies; they faced a tough challenge when they went up against LSU earlier this month. Despite putting up a respectable 64 points, they fell short as LSU secured an 82-point finish. This loss showcased areas for improvement as Virginia Tech had lower field goal percentages and struggled from three-point range compared to their other recent performances.

Playing away at Jersey Mike's Arena could present its challenges for Virginia Tech as home-court advantage often plays a significant role in game dynamics. Nevertheless, if the Hokies can maintain their offensive efficiency and continue to capitalize on turnovers while tightening up any defensive lapses seen in past games, they stand a good chance of coming out on top.

Fans eager to support Virginia Tech can catch them in action on December 17th at 5:30 PM Eastern Time at Jersey Mike's Arena or tune into Fox Sports 1 channel number 219 for national coverage of what promises to be an engaging matchup between these two competitive teams.
