It goes without saying this was one of the least memorable Virginia Tech basketball seasons in years.
The Hokies' 19 losses were the most since the infamous James Johnson-led squad in 2015. By adjusted efficiency margin, it was the fifth-worst Virginia Tech team of the KenPom era. A historically bad ACC was about the only thing that prevented Tech from outright impotence, but it was just window dressing. This team was bad.
On some game days I would peruse through social media and barely see any comments about the game aside from the usual beat reporters. The biggest "controversy" of the season came in November when the Virginia Tech pep band was moved closer to the court where students normally sit — a decision made precisely because so few students were showing up at all.
This is a far cry from the electric atmospheres in Cassell that Tech fans became accustomed to during the late 2010s. The men's basketball program enters the offseason facing a great deal of uncertainty.
