Week 7 has two games, one against an old time rival and another to kick off the ACC schedule.
12/30: VT @ #17 West Virginia @ 2pmEST (ESPNU)
1/3: VT vs Syracuse @ NoonEST (Raycom, check local listings)
Well the easy part of the schedule is over. Things could get very ugly score wise from here on out as I'm pretty sure we'll be the underdog in every game for the rest of the year. We knew it'll be ugly but we'll also be able to see if Buzz has been able to make any quick progress. WVU struggled last year but has bounced back this year and looks like the well coached Bob Huggins teams of the past. Syracuse hasn't looked like itself this year so there may be an outside chance we could make things interesting if we make all our shots and keep the turnovers down against their zone.
Heading into the new year, it looks like Buzz has settled in on his rotations. After not getting playing time early, Henry has cemented his place as Joey's back up. Some of that has to do with Pierce being greener than the beer on St. Patty's Day, but Henry has looked better and better with each passing game. He's been solid rebounding the ball and has had some thunderous blocks on defense. Hill, Bibbs, Smith, and Joey are basically locked in as starters. Wilson and Hudson have been splitting time at PG of late, with Hudson really coming on and he appears to be the one Buzz favors more. Mueller is the odd man out. He hasn't looked good at all over the last month and his playing time has been cut dramatically.
