Virginia Tech Hokies by 3
Goodness in abundance! If you're hoping for an ordinary match between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the number 20 North Carolina State Wolfpack, you're in for a rude awakening, let me tell you!
These Hokies though, they pack quite the punch, don't they? Rose Micheaux is a living testament to that with her recent exploits coming to 15.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. And let's not forget Carys Baker, who has been consistently putting up 14.5 points and 7 rebounds per game. The cream of their crop, undeniably Carleigh Wenzel with her handy 14.2 points and a solid 4 assists per game. More than safe to say, the Hokies aren't playing softball out here.
On the flip side, we eye the Wolfpack, who seem to be playing their own brand of basketball. Zoe Brooks, standing tall at 15.0 points and 5.5 assists per game. Saniya Rivers isn't far behind, delivering substantial performances with 14.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. And the leading light, Aziaha James, who's been battering her opponents with a towering 17.3 points per game. Quite the fireworks show, isn't it?
Looking at the history between these two, we see that the Hokies take it home with the last 4 victories. However, we can't forget that the Wolfpack has been a consistent threat and their 15 wins season record doesn't lie.
Now, if we glance at the recent mamba jamba in the house, the Hokies have won 4 out of their last 5 outings. Not too shabby! The Wolfpack, though, also have been bulldozing through with 4 victories out of their recent 5 encounters. Sparks are bound to fly, aren't they?
Although the AP ranking favors the Wolfpack, the cards are anything but dealt. Will the Hokies embrace their underdog status, or will The Wolfpack justify their favorable odds? This game is rife with anticipation only rivaled by my mother's Christmas meatloaf!
