Virginia Tech basketball's March Madness hopes quickly trending in the right direction

We are just four days away from the 2025-26 college basketball season beginning. This year is expected to be a big bounce-back season for veteran coach Mike Young and Virginia Tech.

It was a busy offseason for Young in terms of roster turnover in Blacksburg, where he got some key retention along with some key Transfer Portal additions and incoming freshmen. Neoklis Avdalas is the biggest incoming freshman name after he withdrew from the NBA Draft process in May and kept his word in signing with the Hokies.

You get the feeling that it is an NCAA Tournament year or bust for Young and Virginia Tech.
