Best wishes to the team as they continue their VERY challenging non-conference schedule with a trip to Blacksburg VA to face the #12/13 Hokies***, with the game scheduled to start at 11:00 AM MT/ 1:00 PM ET at their Beamer-Lawson Indoor Practice Facility.
(***I'm using the rankings from the 2 polls which were released after last week's opening action. The #14 noted by cubuffs below for VA Tech is from the Coaches' Association, which didn't do a poll after week one.)
Play hard and smart Buffs!
