Virginia Tech Hokies Set to Face Syracuse Orange at JMA Wireless Dome

In their last game against William & Mary, the Hokies secured a commanding 76-43 win. Their performance was marked by efficient shooting from both inside and beyond the arc, with field goal percentages of 40 and 35 respectively. Their free throw accuracy was exceptional at 94 percent, which could be a critical factor in close encounters.


The team's ability to control rebounds was evident as they outrebounded William & Mary by a significant margin. This rebounding strength has been consistent across games, including their previous match against Radford where they grabbed 48 rebounds compared to Radford's 36.


Moreover, Virginia Tech's assist-to-turnover ratio has been commendable. In their victory over Rutgers (84-59), they achieved an impressive ratio of 2.44 assists per turnover – indicative of smart ball-handling and teamwork.


Defensively, Virginia Tech has shown tenacity as well; they notched up five blocks in each of their past three games while keeping personal fouls relatively low – an aspect that will be crucial when facing Syracuse's offense.


Playing away from home presents its challenges; however, the Hokies' recent form suggests they are more than capable of handling pressure in hostile environments like the JMA Wireless Dome.


Fans eager to support Virginia Tech can catch them in action on January 28th at 5 PM Eastern Time as they look to continue their winning trend against Syracuse Orange. The game promises excitement and competitive basketball for all supporters tuning in or attending this anticipated matchup.
