This
season ended the same as the last two, with a trip to the wrong side of the NCAA
bubble and a home loss in the NIT. But the similarities between the 2009-10
Hokies and previous editions end there. This year's Hokies bought into Seth
Greenberg's vision, accepted their roles, had better team chemistry, and, oh yes
... won a lot of games.


Last November, before Malcolm Delaney led the ACC in scoring, before Dorenzo
Hudson dropped 41 on Seton Hall, before Terrell Bell became a rebounding
machine, before the Hokies finished tied for third in the ACC, and before VT
tied a season record for wins, we were worried.
