The 2022-23 college basetball season opened Monday night and it could not have went any better for the Virginia Tech Hokies.
No, the Hokies didn’t open the season against top-ranked North Carolina and blow them out. Essentially everyone who opened the season Monday, opened with a lesser opponent. For the Hokies, it was Delaware State. Virginia Tech handled its business, blowing out the Hornets, 95-57 to kick off the highly anticipated season.
As you’d expect with such a lopsides score, several Hokies got in on the fun. Senior forward Grant Basile, a transfer from Wright State, scored 30 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for the Hokies.
