Blacksburg - It's the rematch Tuesday night in Blacksburg as the Hokies host arch-rival UVa. Game time 9 o'clock in Cassell Coliseum. The Hokies won the first meeting in Charlottesville 47-45.
Virginia is ranked 25th in this week's AP poll, down three spots after last Tuesday's loss at Clemson. Virginia rolled over Maryland Saturday 71-44 while the Hokies beat Georgia Tech on a last-second shot in overtime 74-73.
UVa Head Coach Tony Bennett said "You know every game in this stretch run is really significant and it's a big game for us. Obviously you're going to Tech where they got one on our homecourt and played, you know, well against us making plays down the stretch that we didn't and we struggled. We know that we're gonna have to play better in that environment to come away with one."
