What to Know

The Va. Tech Hokies will face off against the Michigan Wolverines at 6:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Suncoast Credit Union Arena. Coming off a loss in a game the Hokies were expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Va. Tech will head out to face Michigan after giving up their first home loss of the season on Wednesday. Va. Tech took a 74-64 hit to the loss column at the hands of Jacksonville. The Hokies have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Va. Tech's defeat came about despite a quality game from Mylyjael Poteat, who went 5 for 8 en route to 15 points plus eight rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Poteat a new career-high in offensive rebounds (six).

Meanwhile, Michigan entered their tilt with Tarleton State on Thursday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. Everything went their way against the Texans as they made off with a 72-49 victory. The Wolverines have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three games by 23 points or more this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Michigan to victory, but perhaps none more so than Roddy Gayle Jr., who went 6 for 7 en route to 16 points. Another player making a difference was Tre Donaldson, who went 5 for 8 en route to 13 points plus five assists.

Va. Tech's loss ended an eight-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 3-2. As for Michigan, they pushed their record up to 4-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Va. Tech has crashing the boards this season, having averaged 36.6 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Michigan struggles in that department as they've been averaging 37. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Va. Tech came out on top in a nail-biter against Michigan in their previous matchup back in November of 2016, sneaking past 73-70. Will Va. Tech repeat their success, or does Michigan have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
