Heading into Wednesday night’s game at Boston College, ESPN's Joe Lunardi had Virginia Tech as one of the last four teams out of the NCAA Tournament.  He updated his bracketology on Thursday morning with the results of Wednesday night’s games, and he now has the Hokies as one of the final four teams in the tournament.  He has them in a play-in game against fellow 12-seed Boise State for the right to fly all the way to San Diego and face No. 5 seed West Virginia in the opening round.
