The Louisville Cardinals will host the Virginia Tech Hokies in conference action from the KFC Yum! Center on the ACC Network. Louisville leads the all-time series, 36-9, but Tech did win last year’s meeting by thirty-two points.
Virginia Tech fell to 16-13 after losing to Duke in Durham. The Hokies trailed the Blue Devils early, and they’d up taking a 16-point loss, 81-65. Virginia Tech scores 74.2 points per game, while allowing 69.9 ppg, and shooting 47.1% from the floor.
Virginia Tech’s regression this season has been tough to see, and they’ll look to avoid a third straight loss here to last placed Louisville. The Hokies are 6-12 in ACC play, with a 1-9 road record. The Hokies are led by the front court pairing of Grant Basile and Justyn Mutts. Basile leads Tech in scoring after 33 points in back-to-back 33-point outings at the top of the month at 16.5 ppg, while grabbing 5.4 rpg. Mutts double-doubled against GT last week, and he’s posting a nice line of 13.1 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 4.9 apg. Second-year guard Sean Pedulla scored 20 points against arch rival UVA, and he’s up to 15.3 ppg.
