As we (for once) comfortably wait out Selection Sunday...
it's really amazing to think where the hoops program is now, and where it was 2 years ago.
Who would have ever thought, when VT's roster was down to Bede and 3 guys who've since left the program (Kabongo, Horne, and Wilkins), that in just 2 seasons Mike Young would have
-beaten multiple top 10 teams
-led VT to a double bye in the ACCT
-decisively beaten UVA
-had VT back in the Big Dance
IMHO, the feeling of unreality (and lack of ability to see the team in person) caused by COVID has somewhat diminished what an accomplishment this really is. I believe that years from now, we will look back at this as one of the great program-building jobs in the history of VT. And it's been done the right way, by a coach who genuinely wants to be here. It just doesn't get much better. I can't wait to see the team play in the NCAAT, and also can't wait to see what CMY and the team do next season.
