Not sure I get what you mean by consistently. In each of the last four...

...seasons, VT has played all three of Longwood, Radford, and Liberty. Usually, two games against each. I initially only looked back four years, but looking back through 2019, VT has consistently scheduled games each year against all three of Radford, Liberty, and Longwood. (except in 2019, swap in JMU for Liberty). Games against JMU have been more sporadic. Only played GMU once--likely, due to the eight hour roundtrip drive. ** Edited by Bentwood Apartments at 3/3/2026, 11:33:27 AM

If Tech fans do what we are capable of we can make the ACC Tournament
Hokie_Forester • 03/02/26 01:52 PM ET

UVa has 28 home games.**
hokietony • 03/02/26 01:45 PM ET
Yeah and their OOC SOS will suffer because of it**
RVAHokie05 • 03/02/26 03:44 PM ET
Our SOS will take a huge hit if our aim is to host more OOC games

Not much different than Harlottesville. data inside**
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 02:27 PM ET
Now do February - not a huge difference, but enough. More snow chances.**
VT_AD • 03/02/26 02:32 PM ET
oh I would NEVER schedule an out door sport in the Burg in Feb. **
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 02:36 PM ET
Somebody needs to research the UVa schedule. What are they doing that
laphroaig • 03/02/26 02:19 PM ET
Blacksburg is about 5 degrees colder, and I kind of like the competition...
jesuisvtguy • 03/02/26 02:44 PM ET
RIght now they are playing lesser teams at home (although they did play
Nortazhokie • 03/02/26 02:26 PM ET
Look at the Massey strength of schedule component
VTChip • 03/02/26 03:07 PM ET

Yep.**
Nortazhokie • 03/02/26 03:17 PM ET
A 74 point difference. Being a retired math teacher has benefits.**

And TWO Invitational tournaments?**
TomTurkey • 03/02/26 02:22 PM ET
Need to host invitationals - that added 10 home games.**
VT_AD • 03/02/26 02:21 PM ET
It's been said our weather that time of year isn't co-operative enough.**
laphroaig • 03/02/26 02:22 PM ET
Always perfect in Hoosville

"Fake stuff" has to do with the rain but doesn't matter in the cold.**
laphroaig • 03/02/26 04:58 PM ET
I think they hosted 2 invitationals
VT_AD • 03/02/26 02:14 PM ET
Even then that's 5 more home games than VT. Almost 40% more home games
laphroaig • 03/02/26 02:21 PM ET
Those Salem games should be at TSP - that would help
VT_AD • 03/02/26 02:29 PM ET
In the last four seasons, VT has played all three of Radford, Liberty, and.
Bentwood Apartments • 03/03/26 12:03 AM ET
Yeah I know they've played them, but I said consistently**

Bentwood Apartments • 03/03/26 11:22 AM ET
Wouldn't care if we played Radford 3 times for more home games even if they
laphroaig • 03/02/26 05:01 PM ET
I disagree on the Salem games being at TSP
VTChip • 03/02/26 02:57 PM ET
I guess my pt was addressing what could be done to add more VT home games**
VT_AD • 03/03/26 08:34 AM ET
In terms of RPI, don’t the Salem games count as neutral, which would be…
Bentwood Apartments • 03/02/26 11:53 PM ET
You are correct! That’s another good point!**
VTChip • 03/03/26 12:09 AM ET
Not to mention for a 30 minute trip down the road
HokiefromBedford • 03/02/26 06:49 PM ET
Neutral site is a good point**
VT_AD • 03/03/26 08:36 AM ET
The Salem tournament should be quite the event this weekend.
Raleigh Hokie • 03/02/26 04:02 PM ET
Sounded like a professional broadcaster to be on ACCNX**
