The Hokies have been on an impressive run, and their recent performances suggest that they are poised to continue their dominance on their home court.
In their last game against William & Mary Tribe on December 21, the Hokies showcased a formidable display of skill and teamwork, securing a commanding 76-43 victory. Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot 40 percent from the field and an astounding 94 percent from the free-throw line. The team also demonstrated defensive strength with five blocks and five steals, contributing to a significant points-off-turnovers margin.
The VT squad has consistently improved throughout the season, as seen in their previous games. On December 17 against Rutgers Scarlet Knights, they notched an impressive win with an 84-59 scoreline.
