Well, none of that happened. The Hokies finished 19-13, including 8-10 in ACC play. Avdalas finished his first season in Blacksburg, averaging 12.
1 points, 3. 1 rebounds and 4. 6 assists per game.
Respectable, right? There’s a saying called “box score scouting,” and it fits Avdalas to a tee. Don’t be fooled by the respectable averages.
