A win would get Tech to 9-2 through 11 games for the first time since VT was 10-1 in 2022-23. It would be the Hokies’ third in a row after dropping two in The Bahamas (defeated South Carolina in ACC/SEC Challenge and George Mason), and it would be Tech’s sixth in a row on Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum.

For the first time in program history, the Hokies won an ACC/SEC Challenge game with their 86-83 overtime win at South Carolina. They followed that up with a home victory over previously unbeaten George Mason. 73-62 at Cassell Coliseum, their first home game in 17 days. Amani Hansberry led the charge to get back in the win column, recording a monster double-double (22 points, 14 rebounds) at South Carolina. Both totals were career highs for the junior forward.

Sharpshooter Jaden Schutt has been consistently making an impact for Tech. In his last four games, he is averaging 15.5 points and is shooting 15-32 (.486) from beyond the arc. In each of those contests he has scored 10 or more points, including a season-high 18 against George Mason. He knocked down a career-best six triples against the Patriots. Schutt is third in the conference in 3-pointers made (29) as well as percentage (44.6).
