It’s been an up-and-down season for the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team. There was some optimism before the season began, but just two weeks before the first game, it was revealed that sophomore guard Rodney Rice was leaving the team.
That was a tough blow for the Hokies.
Yet, Virginia Tech played some good basketball at times, but back-to-back blowout losses against FAU and Auburn in late November exposed the 2023-24 Hokies’ weaknesses. The Hokies struggled on the defensive end at times, and if they weren’t shooting well from beyond the arc, they couldn’t produce consistent offense.
