Impetus: Virginia Tech 76, Clemson 75 F\/OT<\/span><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t really paid much attention to college hoops this season; frankly as I\u2019ve stated numerous times I don\u2019t really follow anything these days, my life is so consumed by my children.\u00a0 But I was casually aware that Virginia Tech was kind of a middling program this season; nowhere near as good as they were last year or the season they made it to the Sweet Sixteen, but still decent enough to be considered a bubble team.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t upset Duke like they often do, and they split the series with Virginia, but otherwise they were a middle of the pack team.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I was reminded recently that the ACC National Championship Tournament was going on so I casually checked in to see how Tech was doing.\u00a0 I was pleased to see that they had actually won a game instead of getting bounced one and done, and that the win has come against Clemson.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frankly, I\u2019m so scarred by Clemson\u2019s reputation based on football alone that I\u2019m gleeful to see when they lose in any sport at this point, especially to the Hokies.\u00a0 I\u2019d gladly gloat over a Tech win against Clemson if it were in ultimate frisbee or quidditch; but the fact that it happened in something I do care about like college basketball makes it that much better.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that, I don\u2019t even care if and when Tech inevitably gets bounced by the usual powerhouses of the ACC.\u00a0 I\u2019m ready to drop the whole \u201cwell Tech\u2019s not a basketball school\u2026\u201d line, but conveniently forget just how mediocre the coach-less and endless rebuilding the football program has become.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s all good.\u00a0 A notable postseason win for Virginia Tech over Clemson is always acceptable in my book, regardless of the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
