Hokies Have a Favorable Schedule

Virginia Tech couldn’t ask for a better basketball schedule heading into the 2012-13 season.  With a rookie head coach and a light number of scholarship players, the Hokies were going to need some luck to be in a position to make the postseason.  The ACC gave it to them when their schedule was announced.

We don’t know the exact date of the games, though we do know approximate dates.  We also aren’t sure of TV coverage or times yet.  But we do know who the Hokies play on the road, who they play at home, and who they play twice.  Remember, the ACC is switching to an 18-game conference schedule this season.

Road Only Opponents

Virginia Tech will play two teams only at home, and two teams only on the road.  The two road-only teams are North Carolina and NC State.  Either one of those teams could be the preseason #1 in the ACC, and I’d say it would be highly unlikely that Tech would beat either one of them at home in Cassell Coliseum.
