KEY GAME INFORMATION

VIRGINIA TECH: Last season: 21-12, lost in first round of NCAA Tournament
Nickname: Hokies
Coach: Buzz Williams, fifth season
Conference: Atlantic Coast.
Who's gone: G Justin Bibbs (13.3 ppg. Led the team with 66 3s), G Devin Wilson, their best defensive player
Who's back: G Justin Robinson (14 ppg, 185 assists) is a speedy 6-foot-2 guard who can take over a game (he had 32 points in a victory against NC State last year). F Kerry Blackshear Jr. (12.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg), who can be hard to stop when not in foul trouble. G Nickeil Alexander-Walker (10.7 ppg, 58 3s), who showed maturity beyond his years as a freshman. G Ahmed Hill (10.6 ppg, 64 3s), who shot 41 percent from deep. G/F Chris Clarke (8.2 ppg, team-best 6.3 rpg) whose speed can be an asset, but also a liability (75 turnovers). F P.J. Horne, who shot 59 percent from the field and showed flashes of being a spark off the bench.
Who's new: G Ty Outlaw, who shot 48.7 percent from 3-point range in 2016-17 before missing last season with a torn ACL.
The Skinny: The Hokies have thrived in an us-against-the-world approach in Williams' first four seasons, winning two ACC games their first season and 10 each of the past three years. With prospects for a third consecutive NCAA Tournament bid for the first time in school history, how they handle being on the expectations side of the ledger will go a long way toward determining how successful they can be.
Expectations: At No. 15, the Hokies are ranked as high as they ever been to start a season, and they are picked fifth in the ACC after much more dire prognostications in previous seasons. With eight experienced players returning, Williams also has more experience than he's had during his tenure in Blacksburg. A quick return to form of Ty Outlaw after missing last season with a torn ACL would help their prospects immensely.

PURDUE: Last season: 30-7, lost to Texas Tech in regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.
Nickname: Boilermakers
Coach: Matt Painter
Conference: Big Ten
Who's gone: Forward Vince Edwards, center Isaac Haas, guard Dakota Mathias, guard P.J. Thompson.
Who's back: Guard Carsen Edwards (18.5 points per game) was the leading scorer on a senior-dominated team and became the lead vote-getter on the preseason All-American team after withdrawing from the NBA draft. Guard Nojel Eastern (2.9 points, 2.5 rebounds) showed steady improvement as a freshman and will try to fill the void left by Vince Edwards. Energetic forward Matt Haarms played dominant defense last season (3.2 rebounds, 2.1 blocks in 17.1 minutes) and has spent the summer refining his offensive moves. Guard Ryan Cline (4.0 ppg) has primarily been used as a 3-point specialist off the bench but should play a bigger role in his final college season.
Who's new: Freshman Eric Hunter Jr. and redshirt freshman Aaron Wheeler are expected to make the biggest impact. Hunter, a 6-foot-3 guard, scored nearly 2,600 points in high school, finished his career as the career scoring leader in Marion County (Indianapolis) and should help add the scoring punch Purdue needs. Wheeler is not the Boilermakers prototypical 6-9 forward. Long and slender, he uses length to his advantage and is more athletic than some of his predecessors.
The Skinny: It won't be the same without the four seniors, but the Boilermakers still have scorers, size, depth and defenders. Painter is too good of a coach to accept a significant drop-off, even after losing so many key players. And with Edwards, perhaps the best player in the Big Ten, leading the way, steady improvement could keep Purdue in the Big Ten title mix again.
Expectations: Las Vegas doesn't expect the Boilermakers to be the same. But they're not completely off the bandwagon, either. They've installed Purdue as a 60-1 shot to win the national title, fourth among conference teams behind only the two Michigan schools and rival Indiana.

PREVIEW

No. 16 Virginia Tech, No. 23 Purdue to get defensive

When the No. 16 Virginia Tech Hokies meet the No. 23 Purdue Boilermakers in the championship game of the Charleston Classic on Sunday night, the teams know where the game will likely to be decided.

Virginia Tech and Purdue are riding their defenses into the tournament finale.

The teams have played Ball State this season and each defeated the Cardinals by nine points -- the closest either has come to losing this season. The Hokies and Boilermakers won emphatically in the Charleston semifinals Friday, and their defenses were the catalysts along with plenty of rebounding support.

Virginia Tech trailed Northeastern 24-23 before holding the Huskies to two points in the final 6:16 of the first half, using a 23-2 run to take a 46-26 lead at the break. The Hokies were never seriously threatened after that en route to an 88-60 victory.

Virginia Tech had similarly tightened up its defense at the end of the first half Thursday against Ball State, allowing seven points in the final nine minutes of the period.

The Hokies allowed only seven two-point baskets to Northeastern. It shut down Huskies guard Vasa Pusica, who torched Alabama in Thursday's quarterfinals for 20 points on 4-of-4 3-point shooting. Against Virginia Tech, Pusica finished with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting.

What also helped the Hokies, who are missing multiple players for various reasons and are generally undersized at the moment, is team rebounding. Virginia Tech needs to avoid getting crushed on the offensive glass.

Against Northeastern, the Hokies won the offensive boards 10-7. Virginia Tech also forced 18 turnovers and committed only nine.

After the Ball State game Thursday, Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams told ESPN about team rebounding: "Our guys are gonna have to consider a field goal attempt as a loose ball in the air -- we gotta get it."

The Hokies' rebounding from the backcourt against Purdue's superior size will be one of their foremost keys -- and challenges -- Sunday.

Justin Robinson was superb for Virginia Tech against Northeastern. He scored 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first half and ended with 19 on 8-of-10 shooting in 29 minutes.

Williams had this to say about Robinson: "When he has the ball in his hands, you feel peaceful. Whatever comes from his decision-making, you feel at peace. Honestly, I've felt that way since he's been part of our program."

Virginia Tech will find it hard to remain peaceful against Purdue. The Boilermakers steamrolled Davidson in Friday's second semifinal 79-58.

Purdue led 33-26 at halftime, then held Davidson to four points in first 5:25 of second half and gained a 47-30 lead it easily protected the rest of the way.

Carsen Edwards powered Purdue with 29 points and six 3s against Davidson, giving him five straight games with at least 20 points.

Purdue's non-Edwards players didn't shoot particularly well against Davidson -- -- 37 percent -- but the Boilermakers hounded the Wildcats into 10-of-31 3-point shooting and allowed only six foul shots.

Purdue also hammered Davidson on the offensive glass 18-4. Evan Boudreaux came off the bench to score 12 points and grab five offensive rebounds (seven total) for Purdue. Virginia Tech's bench recorded 14 points and 13 rebounds -- six offensive -- versus Northeastern.

Sunday's game figures to be a clash between Virginia Tech's constant defensive pressure and Purdue's sturdy and more powerful form of defense, with added size on the glass. The Hokies will want to create a more frenetic kind of game, while Purdue hopes to lean on Virginia Tech with their size and strength near the basket.

The Boilermakers also hope to wear down Tech with their deeper bench. Virginia Tech has not yet needed its bench to be dynamic, but it probably needs something extra Sunday. With senior guard Chris Clarke and freshman guard Landers Nolley unavailable, Virginia Tech might run into limitations Purdue can expose.

Purdue coach Matt Painter knows, however, that while his team might test Virginia Tech in new ways, the Hokies are likely to give the Boilermakers a sterner test than anything they have encountered over the past two weeks.

"When you play them," Painter said about the Hokies, "you know you better bring your lunch pail."
