Jeff Allen will have a field day with this small and under-talented low-post lineup for ewu. Deron Washington will have a height advantage on the man guarding him, and that spells trouble for ewu. Cheick Diakite and Lewis Witcher will have to assert themselves on offense. [...] [...] Post Play: VT should dominate inside (this may be the last time I say this all year).

Vassallo and Cheick Diakite. Vassallo will go from being the best offensive threat off the bench, to VT’s 2nd option, if not first, on offense. Diakite will need to step up and consistently be the force he’s been in short bursts in the past.

Thanks for visiting and Go Hokies!OK kids, let’s play trivia: Name five current Hokie men’s basketball players that have played more than 40 total minutes (ie: one game’s worth) of college basketball for Virginia Tech. [Jeopardy theme……….] Give up? That’s because it is a trick question. Next season, when the Hokies take to the hardwood they will only have only four players (Deron Washington, A.D. Vassallo, Cheick Diakite, and Lewis Witcher) that have played more than 40 total minutes of basketball for Tech. One game’s worth! Only four guys! Not even a full lineup’s worth! For most fans this coming season, it will be Deron and A.D. and, “Who the heck is that?” Program sales should go up 500%. [...] [...] If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed.

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.
