21. Virginia Tech Hokies

Previous Ranking: 22

Record: 10-1

Virginia Tech continues to chug along with four straight wins since our last ranking. The Hokies have a home date with UMBC before hosting Duke to open their ACC slate.

Zach LeDay still anchors the team with 17.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, but junior Ahmed Hill has come on strong in his last two outings. He scored 20 or more in victories over Ole Miss and The Citadel. Hill is also the team’s best 3-point shooter and gives the team an extra dimension from the perimeter, along with point guard Justin Robinson (11.1 points).
