Alright, that last game was really painful so let’s just forget it happened. The Deacs are back at home tonight and fortunately they get to play an unranked team for the first time in a week. The Hokies are 12-4 overall and 3-2 in ACC play, which is definitely a surprise after they lost their head coach and 75% of the minutes played from last year’s squad. Nonetheless, Virginia Tech has proven to be a very tough team and even has a win over a pretty good Michigan State team. What seemed like it would be a very winnable game at the beginning of the season looks much tougher now.
