Previous season
[edit]The Hokies finished the season 25–8 overall and 14–4 in ACC play to finish as regular season champions. As the first seed in the ACC tournament, they earned a bye into the Quarterfinals where they defeated ninth seed Miami before losing to eventual champions Notre Dame. They received an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament, marking the fourth straight time the Hokies qualified for the tournament. As the fourth seed in the Portland 3 they defeated thirteenth seed Marshall in the First Round before losing to fifth seed Baylor in the Second Round to end their season. After the loss, head coach Kenny Brooks announced that he was stepping down from the team in order to accept the head coaching position at Kentucky.[2]
