The Hokies are 6-1 thanks to their impressive come-from-behind victory at Michigan last Wednesday night.  I dug up some advanced stats for us to crunch in today’s article…

Offensive Efficiency: #28
Defensive Efficiency: #91
Effective Field Goal %: #19
FTA per Offensive Play: #140
Offensive Rebound %: #305
Defensive Rebound %: #52
Total Rebound %: #138
Turnovers per Possession: #25
Opp. Turnovers per Possession: #281
Opp. Effective Field Goal %: #99

Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).
