GW has a chance to go above (or below) .500 this Sunday, with a return game against Virginia Tech. As you may recall, GW beat Tech 63-62 in last year's BB&T. VT isn't the NCAA tourney team they were a year ago, having compiled a 4-3 record with wins against Elon, UNC-Asheville, UNC-Greensboro, and Eastern Washington and losses to ranked Gonzaga and Butler as well as Penn State. Mainstays Jamon Gordon, Zabian Dowdell, and Coleman Collins all graduated, and of course Wynton Witherspoon transferred to GW.
The team is led by led by A.D. Vassallo, Jeff Allen, and Deron Washington, who are all about 6'6" and averaging 12-15 points per game each. Allen is averaging 8 rebounds and Washington has 5.4. The consistent big size and scoring ability of the Hokies makes me think GW will be on the other end of those matchup problems GW always used to cause. It should be an interesting game.
The Hokies have a pretty big and informative game notes document (PDF).
The game is at 5:30 PM and will be on FSN, Comcast Sports Net, and elsewhere.
