It was a disappointing season for the Virginia Tech Hokies men’s basketball team. A 1-7 stretch that began with a Dec. 21 overtime loss at Boston College sank the Hokies.
At the time, Virginia Tech was 11-1, with a 1-0 mark in ACC play. That first ACC win came over preseason-No. 1 North Carolina in Blacksburg. The loss to BC was the first of seven in a row for the Hokies, who were all of a sudden 11-8 on the season and essentially finished in the race for the ACC.
To make matters worse, senior guard Hunter Cattoor was injured in the loss at Boston College and missed several games.
