Virginia Tech vs. Virginia Condensed Game | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball

And both of these teams are whole again with injured players returning Hunter Couture the key guard for the hokes and here comes sha padulla some kater has the season scoring average up over 16 per game driveing dish to the corner NJ Collins for three you’ve got to run

Virginia off the three-point line cuz at times they can be offensively challenged look for Virginia Tech to really extend on him and that’s what you’re going to get for the hookies with Couture in the back court with Collins and padulla Robbie Baron and the vastly improved Lin

Kit inside well that is what number zero there’s reys beakman the reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year averaging nearly 13 points a league leading six assists per game and the hoer back within two roie to beakman tries to drive Baseline Collins Cuts him Off shot clock under 10 back to beakman finds Miner strong to the rim his second dunk of the night H trying to find Couture Ro staying right with him to the Baseline Corner three nothing but net for the redot Shawn padulla shot clock down to 10 Ro off the curl

Minor hands to beakman open from three got him was the most outstanding player of the Big East tournament two years ago three here he is defending padulla on the Block got a piece out of bounds Harris kicks to the corner Jake Groves puts it up and in they don’t turn

It over and they don’t take bad shots so you have to play against their set defense and if you play against their set def defense they’re going to take away straight line drives and they’re going to take away post UPS long with the [Applause] layup a mismatch right there good job of

Scrambling out of it by Virginia Tech eight to shoot beakman pulls the trigger step side knock down at three this is just hand down man down good [Applause] Rhythm how hard mcney Works without the basketball who does he remind you of with the way he plays mcney yeah a poor

Man’s Joe Harris because they do know how to play they do Embrace roles they do know how to use screams they do know how to defend uh to me the most underappreciated followed by Baron the whoos in control as McNeely starting to heat up you’re at Jpj you’d like to play ahead of this defense great help padulla with the great dump off for the layup by Robbie Baron now pman looking to take advantage of Padu inside steps through and kisses it home down the lane finds Couture for the open three and that is a tremendous way to close

Out the half for Virginia Tech having said that they just to kick the field goal at the end of the half and now started with the ball to first possession a bucket here would be huge there it is on H Baron on the kick out ball comes out maybe you get some step

In threes but you know the analogy of great job of of being getting in the lane and using the size with a high release that’s one of those shots I’m not sure that Mike young wants to move the defense a little bit more than that yet he’s played so well great cut once

Again curl cut off the back poti tries to get rid of the ball here’s padulla on the switch he lost it numbers for Virginia beatman to the rim and done Hammer at home active alert defensively throw it ahead go get a big fella now he has not

Gotten any sort of extended minutes for a variety of reasons but the last couple of games when given the opportunity now he seems to be able to contribute as potit lays it in couple of assists didn’t turn it over and that allows for beakman to be beakman dun misses the

Layup you know what it means so now you’ve got Miner coming off the bench two more that extends the rotation for Tony Bennett and Jordan has always had the support of his parents as Mom Couture’s dad Charles who attended almost every one of his games but for him it seems to

Be coming together now a couple of months in it’s an inexact science for sure like I I I put trashers in two categories like to me there’s no difference J tomarrow between him and a one and done CU that’s what he is he’s a one and done uh a plug in and play

Hopefully then padur knocks down that jumper just got let go at the University of Pittsburgh and from that year from 83 84 to basically the rest of my adult life I never made a major decision without consulting with Coach Holland the number of lives he’s changed what he

Did in terms of his relationship with Ralph Samson what he did in terms of helping get this building built when he was the athletic director at Virginia a proper tribute to a a great man Harris off the bounce he continues to contribute in different ways in his

First game back after missing 10 the hokes have been playing from behind but they’ve been able to hang in there down by as many as 13 that cuts it to six first three points for the young man from nearby Harrisonburg Virginia mcney tries to answer and does

Although that’s a two and will be reviewed at the next stoppage numbers if Virginia hurries and there you go it developed slowly but Miner came fre underneath and Dante Harris found it watch this ball screen little back trouble here just to freeze the defense create some space

Haris has been really solid there’s the big big double again a season high now for Miner with the 10 points first bucket of the night Min defensively on and alra ball has been very good and this is where he’s been really good off that pocket pass well he’s got a

Physicality that nobody else on the Virginia roster has Collins finds the open man in the corner Robbie Baron for [Applause] [Applause] three Beakman’s pass knocked away here comes Hunter Couture at deflections right here in the Gap pushes it up Shel hops here he comes again beakman all over him just a pest but Couture is undeterred and this is lone season with the Cavaliers he comes up screen rejected Harris a bolt to the

Bucket c and a throwback to give nickel a pretty good luck Buchanan’s back in gets the feed after the screen and he’s able to finish the Freshman four steals four assists just doing what he does padulla on the coming out of the timeout they get a good shot almost every time

Uh you know coutur and padul are going to continue to grind they’ve got to find a way to get some clean stops they’re still right in this basketball game good pass again you Canon attacks how about the production out of the five spot for Virginia tonight 22 combined points between Miner and

Buchanan padulla drains the [Applause] three same thing you and off a beautiful feed from Dante Harris I watched a lot of tape on Virginia before this game great hands right there you don’t recognize it here’s Robbie Baron they best their best execution all season long Ric watch ad o Collins inside hand

Down really good rip nickl picks it up Baron with the Finish crowd appreciates the pressure broken mcne to beakman blob it up to the rim and it banked in trying for an assist but you get two points to reach beakman he has played tonight Seth as though he has no limitations padulla

Creates space and hits the three it’s a fivepoint game I didn’t see I was kind of blocked that watch his right arm that’s that’s that’s a clear out that’s a foul it is so they were doing with him but I’m not even sure he saw this

Although he did say they had really good practice great play off the done block Here Comes roie giving it to D Couture the quick answer at the other end 28 seconds on the [Applause] clock

The Virginia Cavaliers held serve at home with a 65-57 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Commonwealth Clash. Reece Beekman and Jordan Minor provided most of the offense, as both players scored 16 points for Tony Bennett’s club. The Wahoos owned the paint, outscoring the Hokies 36-20 inside. Sean Pedulla paced Tech with 18 points in the loss.
