Although it would be great if this was a sign that the defending ACC Champions of Men\u2019s basketball were waking up and priming themselves for a repeat of last year\u2019s tournament march, I\u2019m not going to hold my breath.\u00a0 The win against Duke was definitely a highlight of the season, but notching a win against UVA<\/a> is like a cherry on top.<\/span><\/p>\n But seriously, is it really an upset anymore to see the Hokies beat UVA anymore?\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of like Duke in the sense that historically UVA has eaten Tech\u2019s lunch in men\u2019s basketball, but over the span of the last decade, there have been quite a number of times in which Virginia Tech has basically, troll-beaten UVA, screwing up whatever rankings they have at the time in which they\u2019ve played.\u00a0 And make no mistake, much like Duke, UVA has almost always been a ranked squad over the last decade, while Virginia Tech sporadically gets hot for brief moments in time, often times against UVA, having beaten them as highly ranked as #2 in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the lopsided historical record between the schools in favor of UVA, over the last three years, it\u2019s been deadlocked at .500, with UVA now having lost three in a row in Blacksburg.\u00a0 That being said I bring up the query on whether or not it should really be considered an upset anymore when schools like Duke and UVA come into town and lose, because whatever it is about the last decade or so, Blacksburg is becoming a place where there\u2019s always a chance for Tech to beat even the bluest of bloods.<\/span><\/p>\n All the same, much like the aftermath of the Duke job, the fans stormed the court; and I\u2019m looking at the footage of the jubilation, and sure it\u2019s a fun event and all, but I\u2019m just kind of like, this has literally happened for the third straight year; this is not really out of the ordinary and doesn\u2019t really seem like it\u2019s worth storming the court over at this point.\u00a0 But whatever, all wins are good regardless of whom they\u2019re against, but me personally, I\u2019ve always found it the most satisfying whenever Tech topples North Carolina or Clemson.\u00a0 Or Notre Dame, now that they\u2019re basically an ACC school.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although it would be great if this was a sign that the defending ACC Champions of Men\u2019s basketball were waking up and priming themselves for a repeat of last year\u2019s tournament march, I\u2019m not going to hold my breath.\u00a0 The win against Duke was definitely a highlight of the season, but notching a win against … Continue reading I mean is it really an upset anymore?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,155,60,52,58],"class_list":["post-49210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-basketball","tag-hokies","tag-ncaa","tag-owned","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49220,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49210\/revisions\/49220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
