WBB vs Rutgers November 19 at 18.00 on ACCNx

The ladies host Rutgers today at 18.00. The game will be broadcast on ACC Network’s additional platform. Rutgers is 4-0 with none of the games close against typical early-season opponents: Manhattan, Cornell, NJIT and Iona; all games were home games. VT is 3-1 with the loss to Iowa and the three wins against less challenging opponents.

Senior Destiny Adams, 6’3″ Guard/Forward leads the Scarlet Knights averaging 27 points and 14 rebounds per game. She also averages 3.8 fouls per game. Rutgers has three other players who in averages 10 or more points per game. Chyna Cornwell, 6’3″ center, who does not start but plays 22 min/game, also averages a double-double with 10.3 points and 11.5 rebounds per game . match.

Rutgers could be a challenge in height for the Hokies; three of their starters are 6’3″ and two bench players are 6’3″. Ramiya White and Hazelton may have to play significant minutes tonight. Hokies should be faster; but there may be a problem keeping Rutgers off the boards.

Rutgers is not a strong 3 point team that only shoots 25% from beyond the arc; but they shoot 45% overall, likely because their taller players get a lot of opportunities in the paint, especially against their early season foes. Depending on which group of officials calls the play, Rutgers could have foul trouble. They have three players who average 3.8 fouls per game. game and a fourth who averages 3.3. They average 14.3 assists and 14 turnovers per game. match; they also average 5.8 blocks per game. game.

I am not a gambler; so i don’t know how to find a line for this game. But the ESPN Matchup Predictor says the Hokies have a 91.8% probability of victory. Unless White or Hazelton are in the game, Rutgers will have at least three and maybe 4 girls taller than any Hokie on the field. This will certainly be an opportunity for the CMD to learn a lot about his team.

LET’S GO HOKIES!
