The men’s college basketball regular season is now over. It’s time for conference tournaments around the country. It's a fresh start for some teams, full of hope after a disappointing regular season.
It was a frustrating season for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The season began in disappointment when projected starting point guard Hysier Miller was kicked off the team for his involvement in a gambling scandal from his time at Temple. This mirrors the 2023-24 season when Rodney Rice left the team just before the season and later entered the transfer portal.
There were already low expectations for the Hokies due to the school’s lack of investment in NIL.
