Pittsburgh visits Virginia Tech following Murphy's 20-point game
Virginia Tech faces the Pittsburgh Panthers after Storm Murphy scored 20 points in Virginia Tech's 76-71 win against the Pittsburgh PanthersFEBRUARY 7, 2022 • Associated Press
Records 18 points in victory Murphy posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 victory over Georgia Tech.
Impact Murphy ended a rough stretch of five games in which he scored in single digits each time, and while this was a promising performance, it's also worth mentioning that January continues to be a struggle for him. He's averaging just 8.6 points per game since the beginning of 2022.

Efficient performance Tuesday Murphy accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 68-63 loss to North Carolina State.
Impact Murphy scored in double digits for the fifth time this season, though the fact that he's reached that mark in two of his last three contests is certainly encouraging. The senior has struggled with consistency of late, but he is capable of putting up decent stat lines from time to time. Unfortunately for him, that lack of consistency hurts his upside.

Stuffs stat sheet Friday Murphy posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 86-49 win over St. Bonaventure.
Impact Murphy only missed three shots throughout the game and delivered a strong performance across the board, leaving his mark in several categories though most of his value came through his scoring figures. Murphy's 18-point output was a season-best mark for him.

Efficient performance Murphy recorded 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 72-43 victory over Merrimack.
Impact Murphy looked excellent when it comes to scoring the rock and only missed two of his eight shots -- both from beyond the arc. He has scored in double digits in three of his last four contests.

Leads Hokies in blowout win Murphy notched 17 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 65-39 victory over Radford.
Impact Murphy has been improving as the season progresses, with just five points in his debut but two double-digit scoring outputs since then. He was a stud at Wofford and while he might not replicate that importance at Virginia Tech, he might be good enough to remain a consistent performer for the Hokies, particularly from a scoring perspective.
