The Hokies knew their opponents for the conference portion of season, but they did not know when those games would be played. However, the ACC released the entire slate of games for each team in the conference this afternoon, including Virginia Tech’s.
The ACC has not been an easy conference to play in for the last few years, and this year the challenge may be even more difficult. The Hokies play Duke, UVA, Miami, and Louisville twice, but for the second time in three years the Commonwealth Clash is scheduled while students are on winter break. They will also play Duke twice within 12 days, and the Florida State and the UNC games are scheduled just two days apart.
