ANALYSIS:
This website places Virginia Tech in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. Ranked 58th overall (out of 357) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 15-7. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 15) in the ACC (average ranking 76.8).

The primary strength for Virginia Tech this year is offense. The team is ranked 54th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 107 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Virginia Tech is one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 43rd nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.1% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team likewise falls in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 46.6% of their attempts vs. AO. Virginia Tech is also one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 6.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 45th nationally).

Virginia Tech plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 85th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 95 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Virginia Tech has done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 36th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 53.6% of their attempts from close-up. If Virginia Tech does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 7.98 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 32nd-worst in the college game.

When playing on the road, Virginia Tech performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 323rd in our site's away-from-home metric.
