Following Virginia Tech topping Syracuse 101-95 Saturday in Blacksburg Virginia Head Coach Mike Young had this to say about his teams resiliency, Ben Hammond, Jaden Schutt, Syracuse’s game tying basket at the end of regulation Ben Hammond’s performance when opp against JJ Starling !Putting a lot on his plate,” Young said. “J.J. Starling is his size and J.J.’s fast with the ball and he gets it going in that right hand and he’s good at it. We’re guarding Ben on Chucky Hepburn, we’re guarding Ben on Markus Burton. Those are some tough matches, but he continues to play good ball.''
I have said it before and I'll say it again, Ben Hammond is going to be a player and Virginia Tech needs to do everything they can to keep him in Blacksburg.
