Projected 2013-14 Lineup: Virginia Tech Hokies
Last year the Virginia Tech Hokies were not a good team and that was with the scoring monster Erick Green leading the way. Maybe this will be a classic case of…big star gone, team becomes an actual team and plays better as a group. On the other hand, the Hokies could continue to struggle as head coach James Johnson breaks in seven new faces and a new-look fast pace VCU style press...

#6 Duke looks to get back to its winning ways tonight at 9pm at Virginia Tech
By Ray Horn - The Duke Blue Devils travel to Blacksburg, Virginia to face the Virginia Tech Hokies. The Devils are coming off a last second loss at Maryland. The Blue Devils did a great job fighting back from 10 points down, but in the end just couldn’t get enough stops. The biggest development from the loss was the no show from Mason Plumlee. Since Ryan Kelly went down with...
ACC Morning Linkfest 2/21 with Game Sim Predictions
Only one game in ACC action tonight as Duke travels to Blacksburg to take on Virginia Tech. Duke is coming off a loss at Maryland, so it should be interesting to see what, if any, adjustments are made.
The number one task for the Blue Devils will be to figure out a way to slow down Erick Green. Look for Rasheed Sulaimon to start out on Green and expect to see a lot of Tyler Thornton...
ACC Losses Help Hokie Hoops
ACC Losses Help Hokie HoopsIt’s truly difficult for two consecutive losses to be encouraging for a college basketball team these days.
Yet, the Hokies have to find some solace in their spirited losses to Miami and North Carolina last week, despite the depressing final outcomes.

After the recent poor defensive performance I alluded to last week, James...

Hokies’ Loss Will Show What Team’s Made Of
Hokies’ Loss Will Show What Team’s Made OfAfter a 1-2 stretch following the Hokies’ spectacular 7-0 start, the honeymoon period in the James Johnson era seems to be over.
While it was thrilling while it lasted, and probably earned a lot of goodwill from a fan base that might have been indifferent towards this team otherwise, it’s probably for the best. Now that they’ve...

ACC Morning Linkfest 11/13
The ACC went 5-0 on Monday night with only Virginia being tested seriously. The Cavaliers still managed to win by 9 points, opening the game up late. One thing I'd like to start doing when available is giving you a look into the postgame audio/video. That along with the box scores and other links below should give you the complete picture of what happened around the ACC last...

Hokies's resilience knocks out Clemson
ATLANTA --- Few observers would have been all that surprised had Virginia Tech's basketball team simply wilted at any point in the last six weeks.
The Hokies essentially wrote the book this season on how to lose close games. Fluke plays, bad plays, and just not having enough reared their ugly heads too often. Yet, somehow coach Seth Greenberg kept his team's will and desire...
Hokie Hoops vs. Klempson
OK, it's official now. Anytime a basketball post is written on this site, the Hokies immediately lose. Then again, losing may be a direct result of us, ummm, well you know, SUCKING.Since the last post, we are now 0-2 with close losses to UVA and Duke. We'll speak a bit more on that after the jump, but for now, let's take a moment to reflect this season. OK. Thanks for...
Cadarian Raines and the dunk that shouldn't have happened
Almost everyone in the world is either watching Kentucky/Mississippi State or North Carolina/North Carolina State, but there's a heck of a game going on in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Late in the first half Virginia's Joe Harris was denied a timeout as he was falling out of bounds. The ref ruled that he should not be awarded that timeout due to the new rule that states a timeout...
Duke Enters Hostile Cassell Coliseum Tonight at 7PM
By Ray Horn — After a disappointing showing against St. John’s, the Duke Blue Devils look to get back in a groove against the Virginia Tech Hokies. In their last game on Saturday, Duke jumped out to 22 point lead only to let St. John’s back into the game, having to then knock down free throws to close it out.
