In this edition of Virginia Tech News, several athletes inked their commitment to the Hokies in various sports, some postseason awards, and more.

Virginia Tech men gear up for South Carolina

The Hokies men’s basketball team will take the court at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte tonight at 9:30 in a non-conference game against South Carolina. The Hokies are coming off a 100-55 win over Coppin State Monday night in their season opener. The game can be seen on the ACC Network. The Gamecocks are picked to finish last in the SEC and this feels like it’s a must-win early in the season for Virginia Tech.
