fans should be prepared for the possibility that the Hokies end up being the 77th team and left out of the NCAAT "because VT didn't have enough Q1 wins" as the committee chair would say during the post bracket release interview. TIC...I think? I guess I would like rather see VT approach the OOC games against the power conferences (P4 + Big East) as "must win" because the players might play those games with a certain attitude. Not necessarily a chip on their shoulder, but still show the world that VT men's basketball belongs on that stage and that VT is more than just a "football school." Even if VT doesn't win the game, I hope the committee doesn't decide to use that as the reason VT doesn't make the field. Especially when teams, who do make the field, have similar or even identical resumes as VT.
