The Virginia Tech Hokies (16-5, 5-4 ACC) roller coaster ride through the ACC schedule continues tonight as they visit their bitter rivals, the Virginia Cavaliers (16-4, 6-2 ACC). The Hokies are coming off of a close home win against Boston College. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, most recently suffered a heart-breaker at the hands of Villanova.
The win against Boston College puts the Hokies back above .500 in ACC, which will be paramount for their tournament profile. The Hokies continue to beat teams they are supposed to beat, but struggle against the upper echelon of the ACC.
