With a 4-1 record in conference play, Virginia Tech is silently turning heads. Not saying the Hokies are quite ready for prime time just yet, but this stretch of the schedule might very define the Hokies' season. On Wednesday the Hokies play Notre Dame. This game is winnable, with the Irish primed for a let down after upsetting Duke. If the Hokies can some how manage to beat Notre Dame, they have the opportunity to play North Carolina. I admittedly don't get to vote for AP Top 25, but Tech is quietly building a pretty solid resume. If the Hokies split this week, beating Notre Dame, losing to U.N.C., the Hokies would still boast a 5-2 A.C.C. mark. There is tons of basketball to play, but we haven't been in this position for some time!
