Virginia Tech's hoops season has perhaps gone better than expected, and Landers Nolley has been a huge piece of that.

HIs consistently strong performances have led to a number of conference honors, and this week once again saw him named the league's top freshman.

Nolley scored 13 points, notched five rebounds, and recorded five assists in a 67-63 victory over Syracuse. More importantly, his ability to run the show as a 6-7 point-forward prevented the Orange zone from shutting down his teammates. True freshman Jalen Cone scored 19 points to lead the team.

In a 72-58 victory over NC State Saturday, Nolley scored 29 points, including a 4/7 mark from behind the three-point arc.

The Hokies next take the court Tuesday, with a trip to Wake Forest on deck.
