Tyler Nickel - Retreats to the bench Nickel is not listed amongst Virginia Tech's starters ahead of Wednesday's showdown with Virginia. Impact Nickel will return to the bench as Hunter Cattoor (head) reclaims his spot in the starting five. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has appeared in 15 games this season (seven starts), averaging 9.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 26 minutes per game. Nickel will presumably remain involved in the Hokies rotation despite shifting back to the bench.
