The Virginia Tech Hokies are in the midst of their first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 2007 season as they await their opponent for Wednesday evening in the second round of the ACC Tournament.
At 21-9 overall, and 10-8 in the ACC, the Hokies have proven that they are now much more than a football school. Buzz Williams, now in his third season at the helm as head coach, has completely turned the program around from the recruiting trail to the on-court product.
Now, with the Virginia Tech basketball team being recognized as a solid product in a tough ACC, a tougher non-conference schedule will be in store, beginning next November, as the Hokies have been confirmed as one of the early handful of teams who have accepted an invitation to the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden next season.
