Auburn looks to continue climb vs. Virginia Tech
A fixture in the rankings for five of the last six seasons, Auburn is anxious to return to its familiar perch under Bruce Pearl.
With a win over visiting Virginia Tech in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Wednesday night, Auburn can take a major step toward that goal.
After opening the season with an 88-82 loss to Baylor, which has since ascended to No. 9 in the AP poll, Auburn (4-1) has built a solid resume with four straight wins, all by at least 15 points.
When the Tigers take the floor against the Hokies, it will come after a seven-day layoff.
“I hope we’re not rusty,” Pearl said on Tuesday. “We can’t afford to be rusty because they’re (the Hokies) so sharp.”
Johni Broome leads Auburn in scoring (15.4 points per game) and rebounds per game (7.6). The 6-foot-10 junior will battle inside against 6-foot-10 Lynn Kidd, who is putting up similar numbers for Virginia Tech at 15.9 points and 8.0 boards per game.
In Auburn’s most recent game, an 84-54 romp over Alabama A&M on Nov. 21, Chaney Johnson came off the bench to score 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
It was a season high for Johnson, who was the Gulf South Conference Player of the Year last season at Division II Alabama Huntsville.
While Auburn was resting over Thanksgiving Day weekend, Virginia Tech (5-2) was playing three games in four days in the ESPN Events Invitational in Florida.
The Hokies reached the title game of the event, but two days after playing their best game this season — handing Iowa State its first loss, 71-62 — they played their worst.
Florida Atlantic, now ranked No. 13, thumped Virginia Tech 84-50 on Sunday, dominating the boards 40-29 and doubling the Hokies on the scoreboard in the second half, 52-26.
Virginia Tech shot 33.3 percent from the floor and only 11.8 percent from beyond the arc, both season lows, and allowed Florida Atlantic to shoot 56.9 percent overall and 40.9 percent from deep.
“Offensively we really struggled, which hurt us on the defensive end, which can never happen,” Virginia Tech assistant coach J.D. Byers said.
Virginia Tech’s Hunter Cattoor, who had 48 points in three games, made the all-tournament team.

Virginia Basketball Holds Off Manhattan 74-65 | Key Takeaways
Virginia (4-2) got back in the win column with a 74-65 victory over Manhattan (3-3) on Tuesday night at John Paul Jones Arena. Here are our five quick takeaways from the Cavaliers’ win over the Jaspers.
Virginia was in serious need of a win after suffering those two humbling losses to Tennessee and St. John’s in The Bahamas. But a convincing and comfortable victory would have been even better and for a while, it seemed like the Cavaliers were on their way to doing just that. UVA led by as many as 15 points in the first half and opened up a 16-point advantage midway through the second half. But rather than putting the game away, Virginia let Manhattan hang around and the visiting Jaspers were in a situation where they were fouling to stop the clock in the final minutes, narrowing the deficit to as little as six points. A win is a win, but this was far from a confidence-boosting performance.
Virginia went with a new starting lineup on Tuesday night, as Andrew Rohde replaced TJ Power. Rohde has been playing very well recently, particularly with his resurgent outside shot, while Power came into this game shooting 25% from beyond the arc this season.
Power initially responded well to the benching, swishing a corner three shortly after he first entered the game, hitting the deck for a loose ball, and coming up with a steal to stop a Manhattan fastbreak. But he wound up playing only six minutes, fewest among Cavaliers who saw the floor in the game. That does not bode well for the Duke transfer.

Rohde, on the other hand, had another solid game and was perhaps the top performer for the Hoos on Tuesday night. Though he missed his only three-pointer, which was a desperation off-balanced heave at the end of the shot clock, Rohde finished with a season-high 14 points, two assists (with one turnover), two rebounds, and four steals. Rohde showed excellent feel for the game, getting exactly where he wanted to go and exhibiting some nice touch on a couple of floaters plus a short jumper off the glass. If Rohde is playing like this and his three-point shot continues to be there, this could be a big season for the former St. Thomas transfer.
The main reason why this game continued to be close deep into the second half is because UVA’s defense frequently broke down and gave up open shots to Manhattan, particularly from the perimeter. The Jaspers shot 11/26 (42.3%) from beyond the arc and and seven different players knocked down a three. A couple of those Manhattan triples were well-contested, but the vast majority of them were wide-open. That’s very concerning and shows that this Virginia defense, with its many new faces, is still very much a work in progress.
Virginia’s offense was pretty well neutralized by Tennessee and St. John’s in The Bahamas. Tuesday night against Manhattan was a small step in the right direction, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
Let’s start with the good. Five different Cavaliers scored in double figures, including a game-high 18 points from Isaac McKneely, who hit three of his four three-point attempts and went 5/6 from the free throw line. We still think McKneely needs to shoot way more, but we’ll leave that alone for now. Dai Dai Ames scored 10 points and dished out five assists, but fouled out of the game. Blake Buchanan made his first four shots and finished with 11 points and five boards. Cofie made five of his seven shots and finished with 10 points and five boards. The best part of the game was that Virginia had 15 assists on 29 made baskets and turned the ball over only eight times, a vast improvement over the team’s turnover issues in The Bahamas.
Virginia outscored Manhattan 42-22 in the paint. That looks like a good stat, but it’s also an inevitable stat because of UVA’s size advantage over the Jaspers, whose tallest player in the rotation is 6’8″. Still, Manhattan snared 10 offensive rebounds and scored 11 second-chance points. In The Bahamas, UVA was dominated on the glass and was simply outmatched from a physicality and athleticism standpoint. Nothing we saw from the Cavaliers on Tuesday night did anything to alleviate those concerns.
Up next, Virginia remains at home for another (supposed) tune-up game against Holy Cross on Friday at 4pm at John Paul Jones Arena.
