Big Win in Mexico
January 3, 2010
 Who saw this one coming? I sure didn't. Virginia Tech went to Cancun, played their toughest opponent of the season with Malcolm Delaney on the bench with an injury, and pulled off one of the top wins of the Seth Greenberg era. Dorenzo Hudson torched Seton Hall for 41 points, which Hudson estimates is his lifetime high, and the Hokies downed the Hall 103-94 in overtime to go to 12-1 on the season.

Basketball Game Preview: Seton Hall Pirates
January 1, 2010
The Hokies will face their second significant challenge of the season when they take on the Seton Hall Pirates in Cancun on Saturday night.

Hokies Beat Longwood, but Lose Delaney
December 30, 2009
 Virginia Tech beat Longwood 85-50 on Wednesday afternoon, but other than the final score, it was not a good day for the Hokies. Malcolm Delaney, the ACC's leading scorer, went down early in the game with a left ankle injury. X-rays were negative, but Delaney appears to have a bad sprain and his status is unknown. He will receive an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. The Hokies improved to 11-1 with the win, but it looks like they'll head into the Seton Hall game without their top scorer and best leader.

Hokies Bolt Out to 8-1 Start
December 14, 2009
 Anybody out there got any crow? I promised to eat some if the Hokies exceeded my meager expectations, and it's time to put on a bib and chow down. This is not an offensive juggernaut, and they're not playing the toughest schedule around, but they're doing what no Tech team has done since the mid-1990s: winning a lot of games early.

December 14, 2009
We are just a little more than a month into college basketball season, and only one ACC conference game has been played. However, we're starting to get a better feel for some ACC teams. Every team in the conference has lost at least one game, and there doesn't appear to be a legit National Championship contender for the first time in awhile.
