Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies upset by Jacksonville in Blacksburg

Poor Mike Young. It’s going to be a long few months in Blacksburg.

On Wednesday, Young’s Virginia Tech men’s basketball team lost its second game of the season, a 74-64 defeat at the hands of the Jacksonville Dolphins. The same Jacksonville Dolphins who finished 16-17 last season, which was good enough for 10th place in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

The great Jon Rothstein said it best.

Virginia Tech loses a buy game to Jacksonville. The epitome of brutality.

Virginia Tech lost its first game last week to Penn State, a team projected to finish 17th out of 18 teams in the Big Ten.
