The only true* forwards or centers that are returning for the Hokies next year that have played in more than 10 games in their career are Junior Cheick Diakite and Sophomore Lewis Witcher. Terrance Vinson will be a sophomore next year, but he has yet to show he is an ACC caliber player.

A.D. poured in 14 points and helped rally Tech with Gordon on the bench most of the second half with a knee injury. But, Vassallo was the only X-factor in this game. As I wrote in my Keys to Winning in the ACC Tournament, it will be vital for two of the three of Vassallo, Collins, and Washington to step up on offense in this game. Collins did not score and Washington had just nine points. This is the only reason this game was close. [...] [...] The Hokies got a big effort from Vassallo in the previous meeting in December.
