After back-to-back ACC victories in the past week at home
(and who among you thought you would really be saying that in mid-January?),
Virginia Tech fans can be excused if they find themselves in that mode where
realism and hope play a tantalizing game of tug-of-war.
On the one hand, there is the excitement of seeing the
Cassell come alive, at least partially, while seeing a Virginia Tech basketball
team residing at .500 for the season in conference play. It’s watching a team
start to play with more and more confidence in their first year in a conference
that most desperately wanted to be in for quite some time.
