That is how you respond. Every time the Hokies have fallen this season they’ve immediately bounced back with an ACC win. The 38-point senior day win over Wake Forest might have been their best yet. Virginia Tech now has nine ACC wins with the chance to make that total 11 before the ACC Tournament, which would be the program’s second-highest ever since joining the conference and that is even with the numerous games canceled due to COVID-19.
Despite Tech’s impressive season and ACC contention, ESPN still doesn’t have them among their latest Power Rankings or as a favorite to win the ACC Tournament.
