The Virginia Tech Hokies (15-5, 4-4 ACC) return home after a road shellacking last Thursday at the hands of the ninth-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, to face-off against the Boston College Eagles (9-12, 2-6 ACC) at Cassell Coliseum on Sunday.
As displayed on what was an upset Saturday across the ACC, there are no easy games in conference play in this 2016-17 season. However, the match-up with the Eagles on Sunday is a game that the Hokies must win against an inferior opponent, especially considering the schedule ahead for Buzz Williams’ squad.
After Sunday’s game against Boston College, the Hokies play four out of their next five games on the road, a slate which includes two games against #12 Virginia (one home, one away), and a road tilt against #13 Louisville.
