2025 ACC/SEC Challenge: Virginia Tech Men's Basketball Faces South Carolina, Women Host Florida

In addition, the men's basketball team will travel to Uncasville, Conn. for a neutral-site matchup with Providence on Nov. 8. None of the three games have a announced start time yet.

For men's basketball, South Carolina will be playing the Hokies for the third consecutive year. Last year, Virginia Tech played the Gamecocks in the third-place game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off, losing 70-60. In that game, all-SEC forward and likely NBA draftee Collin Murray-Boyles dropped 16 points alongside eight rebounds, a trio of steals and a pair of blocks.

The year before was the first in 26 years that the Hokies faced off against South Carolina, who defeated Tech, 79-77. In six seasons at the helm of the Hokies, head coach Mike Young is 0-5 all-time against SEC teams, making this matchup an uphill battle.

On the women's basketball side, Florida and Virginia Tech last squared off in 2014, where Florida won 73-44 at home. In total, the Hokies and Gators have played four times, with Florida holding a 3-1 advantage all-time.

In last year's ACC/SEC women's basketball challenge, Virginia Tech defeated Georgia, 70-61, behind the power of four Hokies scoring in double figures and a 24-8 final quarter. It was Tech women's basketball's first and only victory in the ACC/SEC challenge.
