Greetings!

I have been given the honor of covering Virginia Tech Basketball this season for TechSideline and I couldn’t be more excited! First, I would like to thank the staff at TSL for giving me an opportunity to share my love of the game with you, the fans, and hopefully create a better understanding for what Virginia Tech Basketball was, is, and will be.

I have had a unique perspective of the program, as I have been a Virginia Tech fan my whole life (even longer than I’ve been a basketball fan), I am a 2009 graduate and alumni with a B.A. in Philosophy, and for the last two seasons I have been a coach on the OPPOSING bench. I cannot express to you how weird it felt to sit on the visitors’ bench in Cassell Coliseum.

But enough about me, let’s dive into a look at this program. It is surely an exciting time to be a fan of Virginia Tech Basketball! And as a fan, I’m sure you’re well aware of the heartache involved following the program in years past. Today I would like to take a look at where the program was just two short years ago in terms of the roster, and how that compares to today.
