Night, 11/21 - 1:45 AM EST | Go Hokies!

They both have to show they can get their points. And A.D. Vassallo was called for traveling three times. He may have earned a free flight back to Puerto Rico with all that traveling. Guard play on offense won’t be a big factor in this game since VT has an advantage inside, but is still important for the Hokie’s long term success.

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.

That’s because it is a trick question. Next season when the Hokies take to the hardwood, they will only have 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 percent. [...] [...] Give up? That’s because it is a trick question.

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.
