I am feeling optimistic with the matchup...here's why.
VT shot 19% from 3 vs UNC at home last time out. VT was 3 of 23 from three without Aluma's three point attempts. Mutts was 0-3 from the arch vs UNC which he shouldn't take no more than 1 attempt per game if any at all. N'Guessan was 0-1 from 3. These guys have no business shooting threes. They are not taking those shots now (except for Mutts lone 3 attempt last night. They are playing their inside positions and playing them very well.
VT shot 43% from 3 vs Clemson
VT shot 37% from 3 vs Notre Dame
If Tech can keep turnovers to under 10, and can shoot 35% or better from 3, I feel like they stand a probable chance to knock off UNC.
Last nights result was not how good UNC looked, but how poorly UVA played offense. It was horrendous.
This is the time of year where your team better be hot and VT is hot right now. If I am a UNC fan, I am dreading this game's "stomach ache" as much as any another other game of the season.
Be optimistic Hokie fans!
