The highly anticipated bout was originally scheduled for the opening weekend of conference competition on Friday, January 21, but was ruled a forfeit against the Hokies as they we're unable to compete due to athlete unavailability.
Hear from head coach Tony Robie on Friday morning's Packer and Durham Show regarding the opportunity to rebook the rivalry against the Wolfpack.
