The "showing" by VT fans in Greensboro was, to put it bluntly, embarrassing to Virginia Tech. Only Florida State, Miami, and Boston
College had weaker fan showings than the Hokies. First came the news that the Hokies failed to sell out their allotment of tickets, coming up
(according to one source) "200 to 300 short" of selling all their tickets.
Under their conference entry agreement, the Hokies (and Miami, and Boston College) received reduced ACC Tournament ticket shares their first two
years in the conference. Tech got 1/3rd the full allotment last year, and 2/3rd the full allotment this year. An internet search didn't turn up an
exact figure for VT's ticket allotment, but an article we found from NC
State's web site pegged a full 2006 share at about 2,050 tickets, which would put Tech's allotment at about 1350-1400 tickets.
