Virginia Tech is Hosting ESPN's #SportsCenter on Thursday for showdown against Boston College.
The show airs from 2 to 3 pm on the Quillen Spirit Plaza, aka the D2 lawn.
The #Hokies have hosted College Gameday six times, and now can add SportsCenter to that list.
Favorable schedule as essentially the inverse of last seasons.
Should have a lot of "easy" Quad 1 opportunities on the road. Almost every tough game is at home, where the #Hokies are historically pretty good.
And Neo's return to Cassell will be circled on a lot of calendars.
Losses of Schutt and Gurdak are a bit strange, but the #Hokies brought back the three they needed: Hammond, Johnson, Hansberry.
Time to build through the portal.
I had the chance to catch up with ACC Defensive Player of the Year and 2x ACC Tournament champion Maliq Brown after he helped secure @DukeMBB its 24th ACC title…here are his thoughts:
Four consecutive clutch free throws from Cam Boozer (13, eight and eight) and Evans (game-high 20 pts) clinch the ACC chip for Duke at the score of 74-70 over Virginia.
Thomas and Lewis combined for 35 and Onyenso had nine blocks. De Ridder was held to five.
Duke continues to test Ugonna Onyenso and he keeps winning.
He's up to SEVEN blocks to go along w/four points and four boards.
Still Duke leads 53-51 w/11:51 to go. There's been seven lead changes tonight.
Electric first half as Duke leads Virginia 38-36.
Cayden Boozer has a game-high 14 points, while Cam has just two.
Well-rounded offense from the Cavaliers (De Ridder held to four). We should be in for a fun finish.
The king of the ACC is ready to be crowned in the Queen City!
@DukeMBB takes on @UVAMensHoops with the Blue devils looking to win back to back ACC titles and the Cavaliers eyeing their 4th ACC chip.
@TaylorBretl and myself will have you covered on 3304 sports for a 8:30pm tip
The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
No. 1 Duke vs No. 2 Virginia.
Duke dominated the first game in Cameron. Should be an electric rematch. @3304Sports
Khamenia potted a top-of-the-key trey w/8 seconds left in the half to give Duke a 41-22 halftime lead over Clemson.
The Tigers are just 6-for-27 from the floor and 2-for-13 from deep. The Boozer Brothers have scored as many pts as Clemson.
Now onto the Red Panda halftime show🫡
No. 1 👿@DukeMBB (30-2, 17-1) faces No. 5 🐅@ClemsonMBB (24-9, 12-6) in the ACC tournament semis!
Both teams survived one-possession scares in the quarterfinals. Winner will face Virginia in the ACC Championship.
I'll have you covered alongside @thomashughes_05 for @3304Sports!
Game 2 of the Quarterfinals here in the Spectrum Center!
No. 3 🌪️@CanesHoops (24-7, 13-5) face No. 6 🐦@LouisvilleMBB (23-9, 11-7). Winner will advance to play No. 2 Virginia at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
Gotchu covered @3304Sports!
Will Wade wants NC State to "hang in there for a little bit and see what happens" in its matchup vs Virginia.
Not the most confidence-inspiring message, but also not necessarily wrong considering his -44 point differential against UVA this season.
Tipoff in about 15 minutes.
#Hokies, we are working on what our coverage schedule will look like next week with NCAA action in Wrestling and Women’s Basketball. So we want to ask you whether you’d prefer on-site coverage for WBB or Wrestling in Cleveland? Let us know your feedback as we consider our options
Will Wade on NC State's upcoming game vs Virginia tomorrow:
"We've been outclasses both times (by UVA)...Hopefully we can make a game out of it."
Said there probably "wouldn't have been a next week" if they'd lost today. Feels NC State now has a tournament-worthy resume.
No. 7 NC State pulled away to end No. 15 Pittsburgh's cinderella run, 98-88 behind an efficient 24 from Copeland.
The Wolfpack shot 61, 57, 85 and knocked down 13 triples. Corhen's 27 wasn't enough to save the Panthers season.
NC State will face UVA in the quarters tomorrow.
@theACC Phillips said this helps recruiting and generates revenue.
Said these schools fit the ACC with their focus on academics and mix of public vs private even though they aren't geographically on the Atlantic Coast.
I asked ACC commissioner Jim Phillips what Stanford, Cal and SMU have brought to the conference.
He said the @theACC now has a school from the five most populated US states (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania). No other power conference has more than two.
