PRE-GAME:

The Hokies' starting lineup consists of Jailen Bedford, Tyler Johnson, Neoklis Avdalas, Tobi Lawal and Amani Hansberry. The lineup is unchanged from the opener.

According to Tech Sideline's David Cunningham, the South Florida-George Washington game ended five minutes ago, ending the Hokies-Friars contest to a delayed tip-off.

The USF-George Washington game ahead of Providence-Virginia Tech at the Mohegan Sun just ended (99-95 GW), meaning Friars and #Hokies will have a delayed tip.

Originally scheduled for 4 p.m. ET on Peacock. Expect a 4:30-ish tip.
