The team's shooting efficiency has been a key factor in their success. In these victories, they've shot 40 percent and 46 percent from the field respectively, while also demonstrating lethal accuracy from beyond the arc with a 34 percent three-point shooting against William & Mary. Their free throw accuracy has been exceptional as well, hitting an astounding 94 percent against William & Mary and maintaining strong performance at 71 percent against Radford.


Rebounding has also played a significant role in Virginia Tech's strategy; they outrebounded their opponents by wide margins in both games. Against Radford alone, they grabbed an impressive total of 48 rebounds – testament to their control over the boards.


Defensively, Virginia Tech has not given any quarter either. They recorded five blocks against William & Mary and doubled that number against Radford with tenacious defense leading to twelve blocks. This defensive pressure has translated into points off turnovers as well – scoring nineteen points off turnovers in one game and twenty-five in another.


The upcoming game is set for February 11th at Cassell Coliseum where fans can expect Virginia Tech to continue leveraging their home-court advantage which has seen them play some scintillating basketball this season. The match is scheduled for an evening tip-off at six o'clock local time (18:00 UTC), providing fans ample opportunity to fill up the stands or tune in from home for what promises to be another display of top-tier college basketball action by the Hokies.
