Will Ramberg (undisclosed) played three minutes during Wednesday’s loss to UNLV. While Ramberg was able to return to the court following a one-game absence, he clearly wasn’t 100 percent, considering he was averaging 28.3 minutes per contest through the first four games. Depending on where things stand with Ramberg’s health, his next chance to return to a normal workload will arrive Monday against Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech Hokies DFS Spin
Justyn Mutts had 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday’s 69-64 victory over Charleston Southern. Mutts ended just one rebound shy of a double-double, but that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that he was one of the Hokies’ best players in this contest. Mutts has been been excellent as a two-way threat of late, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least nine rebounds in four appearances in a row.
