The post-Christmas Associated Press Top 25 basketball was released on Monday afternoon, and unsurprisingly, the Hokies remain just outside the rankings, while once again sitting on the cusp of breaking into the poll.
Buzz Williams’ 10-1 squad played one game the week before Christmas, a convincing 87-59 victory over Charleston Southern last Tuesday night. Despite playing well in that game, especially in the second half, it was unlikely that the Hokies would enter the polls given the lack of upsets last week, as well as the lack of games played in general.
Most teams within the Top 25 only played one game last week, and the majority of those teams took care of business to remain in the rankings.
