Tobi Lawal - Likely game-time decision Lawal (illness) is likely a game-time decision for the Hokies' game Tuesday against North Carolina, according to David Cunningham of Tech Sideline.
Impact According to the Hokies' head coach Mike Young, he is unsure they can use Lawal against North Carolina. Thus, he is a game-time decision for the Hokies' upcoming game Tuesday. Lawal would be a big add, with 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game that should make dividends.

Ben Hammond - Comes close to triple-double Hammond accumulated 21 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 101-95 OT victory over Syracuse.
Impact Hammond returned to a bench role for the first time since Dec. 15 in this OT win over Syracuse, but there's no question he made a huge impact off the bench. Aside from posting his best scoring mark of the season, Hammond also recorded a loaded line, ending just three boards and three assists away from a triple-double.

Jaydon Young - Shines in spot start Saturday Young accumulated 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 101-95 OT victory over Syracuse.
Impact Young started for the first time since Jan. 18, and there's no question he found a way to make an impact since he posted his second-best scoring mark of the season. Young has scored in double digits in his last three outings, and given his recent offensive surge, he should remain in the first unit when the Hokies take on UNC on Tuesday.

Tyler Johnson - Bounces back with 12-point effort Johnson recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 71-66 loss to Louisville.
Impact Johnson scored in double digits for the first time since Jan. 22, when he notched 14 points in a loss to Georgia Tech. Despite being a regular starter for the Hokies, Johnson doesn't bring much to the table and has scored more than 10 points just four times all season long.

Brandon Rechsteiner - Leads VT off bench Rechsteiner finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 71-66 loss to Louisville.
Impact The Hokies came up short against the Cardinals, but Rechsteiner had a solid showing off the bench and was the only player who scored more than 15 points. The floor general has scored 10 or more points just seven times all season long, however, so he's not an option to provide regular offense.

Rodney Brown - Not playing Tuesday Brown (toe) is out for Tuesday's game against Louisville, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.
Impact Brown will miss a sixth straight game in this one, though his absence won't be much of an issue for the Hokies. He's yet to start a game this season and is averaging a mere 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. His next chance to play will come against Syracuse on Saturday.

Mylyjael Poteat - Won't play vs. Cardinals Poteat (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against Louisville, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Poteat is averaging 9.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest this season. His next chance to suit up will come against Syracuse on Saturday.
