The Hokies have wins over Duke and Virginia and will have plenty of opportunities to improve their résumé in the final weeks of the regular season.
These Hokies are still buried deep in the ACC standings, but their overall metrics are not too discouraging. They rank between No. 42 and No. 65 in each of the six rankings listed on the NCAA’s team sheets — not numbers to suggest a sure tournament team, but hardly indicative of a huge hole to climb out of over the next month.In addition to the Duke and Virginia victories, Virginia Tech also picked off Oklahoma State on a neutral floor in December and defeated North Carolina and Penn State .
And there are remaining opportunities, including an eight-day stretch featuring meetings with Pitt, Miami and Duke.have is a road victory. The Hokies are 0-7 in true road contests, but they could remedy that problem if they can win at Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Louisville. Those happen to be the bottom three teams in the ACC standings.
Virginia Tech never sunk to .500 this season, and its overall profile isn’t deficient beyond the road issues. Even though the Hokies are still on the periphery of the postseason picture, they have the chance to improve their chances this month — and might not even need a net-snipping ACC tournament experience like last year to get the job done.
