So many of us football fans are basketball fans too because those of us older who go back to the 80s, MBB was a big deal around VT. You would have loved VTMBB back then because although we never won the Metro in the 80s and while we made the NCAA Tournament twice (lost first round each time), those teams with Dell, Beecher, the Youngs, Keith Colbert..upsetting #1 Memphis State was such a big deal. We were ranked some. The year after NC State upset Houston with Jimmy V, we blew them out in Greensboro. Having Louisville in Cassell during years they won two national championships. Even VT making the semis of the NIT in 1984 was a big deal (the NIT was still a bigger deal back then). Anyway there’s a lot of us big hoops fans that are just dying for some consistency. Despite our handful of visits the last 10 years, we went from 1980-2016 making just FOUR NCAA tournaments. We have still only made what 9 in the last 45 years now? Many of us are desperate to be relevant in MBB.
