We’ll admit it: we didn’t think Virginia Tech had much of a chance to compete in ACC Basketball. Buzz Williams and Mike Young have proven us wrong.
Williams did a really nice job in Blacksburg before leaving for Texas A&M while Young has really impressed in his first two seasons.
When it comes to ACC Basketball, the quality of play in Virginia, somewhat surprisingly, is getting close to what we see in North Carolina.
In his first season, despite having one of the youngest and smallest teams in D-1, Young still got to .500.
And last season, Young coached the Hokies to third place in the ACC, despite a lot of Covid disruption to his program.
