A pair of 5 – 2 squads take Xfinity Center court on Wednesday night as part of the Big Ten / ACC Challenge.
The Hokies got off to an inspiring 5 – 0 start to the 2021 campaign but they are now facing a 2-game losing streak coming into this duel. After the loss to #9 Memphis at the NIT Season tip-off, Virginia Tech ended up losing the consolation game to Xavier this past Friday.
The Terps started their season with 5 home games that amounted to a 4 – 1 start to their 2021 season. Maryland got to hit the sun and fun of the Bahamas over Thanksgiving weekend. The 2-game showing ended with a title game loss to Louisville, 63 – 55, after taking out Richmond, 86 – 80.
Virginia Tech Hokies
The Hokies defense. Okay, good night, and thanks I’ll be here all week!
I mean damn if you want to talk about how to shut a team down ask Coach Young how to do it. Let’s keep in mind now, his time at Wofford was exceptional and the Hokies landing him will be a good thing for years to come.
He got this program to the dance last year although they were ousted in the opening round and came away with a 15 – 7 finish to the season.
The Hokies were on the verge of taking out Xavier in the NIT Season Tip-Off consolation game until Nate Johnson hit a big 3 with 25 seconds left to play. The 1-point loss is nothing to be ashamed of as they again didn’t even allow a team to reach 60 points.
Memphis is the only team to topple the 60-point mark against the Hokies in 2021. The Tigers barely found 61 points and that is more of the reason why you look at the defensive rankings and it all makes sense.
Oh, look, Virginia Tech is ranked in the top-10 in this, and that, and that, and this! Yeah, GOOD LUCK with the Hokies defense tonight all you Maryland folk. The Hokies be coming town lookin’ to shut your ass down all night and into tomorrow if they have to!
Maryland Terrapins
Since I wrote up the Louisville game with Michigan State, I already know what to say about Maryland. I think this is going to be one big challenge for them to win with the Hokies defense playing so well.
I think if you look over the body of work for this Terps program it is tough to find quality wins to speak of. Richmond, maybe? All right, putting up 86 on Richmond is all well and good but this team really looked bad against Louisville last time out.
The Terps offense ranks 315th from 3-point land and they’re at 246th shooting 42.6% from the floor thus far in 2021.
Maryland has four players averaging double-digits this year and Eric Ayala leads that cast putting up 15 PPG and shooting just over 30% from behind the arc. Donta Scott is the guy to watch for because when he is going well this team just plays better. Scott is a big presence inside and can run the floor with anyone.

Yeah, I gots me that defense, thanks! The Hokies are fucking stupid defensively, and I mean that in the best way that I can make it sound. Hokies 64 and Maryland is left as another team that didn’t find 60 points against them.
