Though it didn’t register nationally, Virginia Tech’s win over Florida State
on Saturday was a pretty big one. It got the Hokies to .500 in conference play,
and now they don’t have to go into Chapel Hill on Thursday night with an 0-2 ACC
record.
Perhaps even more than that, it avoided the dreaded home loss. Tech has
already dropped home games to Purdue and UVA, the latter of which hurt the
Hokies a lot. They couldn’t afford a third home loss so early in the season.
Remember, last year Tech only lost one regular season home game. A third home loss by
the second week of January would have been devastating.
Speaking of home losses, I don’t think the Hokies can afford another one this
year, save Duke.
