Hokies Big Spring In Baseball Also Includes A Loss To Davidson Virginia Tech’s baseball team hadn’t lost to the Davidson College Wildcats since 1981 but that changed this month even as the 16th-ranked Hokies are enjoying one of their best seasons.

Duke With Kyle Singler's announcement that he will be returning for his senior season in Durham, the Devils are not only the favorite to win the ACC, but could repeat as national champions next year... The Road to the NBA He was faster, stronger and better than anyone else on the court. There are a lot of good players at this gym, but none quite like him.

Hokies Lose NIT Quarterfinal to Rhode Island, Exit Cassell in Disappointment What started out as a back-and-forth match-up ended in heartbreak as the Virginia Tech Hokies lost their final game of the 2009-2010 season to the Rhode Island Rams, 79-72. "We're really disappointed," said Tech's Jeff Allen. "We had plans of going to New York and playing in the championship, but unfortunately we didn't finish the game. As for next season, we just need to make corrections from this season's mistakes." Hokies Top Huskies In NIT Thriller Things weren't going well for the Hokies. Scratching their way back from a 12 point first half deficit has sucked most of the air out of the home crowd. But when JT Thompson made a three-point shot as the buzzer sounded for half time, pulling Tech to within five points of Connecticut, the crowd in Cassell Coliseum went wild. Thompson's eight points in a five minute span succeeded in cutting down the lead held by UConn and made a comeback seem possible.
